GB Rally 2008 Sweet Lamb Mikko Hirvonen Roll.wmv

Video footage of the Mikko Hirvonen roll after wastersplash on Sweet Lamb stage 5 of the Wales Rally GB. Shorthly after the end of the video a great mant spectators desended on the car and got them going again! Fantastic

From Rally GB Website:
"Mikko Hirvonen (Ford) endured a disappointing first day. He was expected to battle for the win, but started the day too cautiously and then rolled on stage five, losing several minutes while spectators put his car back on the road. He is still running but is now more than five minutes off the lead."

Wanna watch a really gd vid - watch rallydude777 HD vid. Top effort.

[Gassolinebonce]

Any footage of a few seconds after this where the spectators help to get him out?

[Telfordhornets]

there is now

[Telfordhornets]

Yeah - sorry it was all my fault. Damn, hoping no-one would find out.......

[Telfordhornets]

Excelent debate chaps - but please keep it civil. My children see this.

[Telfordhornets]

Llastly, if ford dont win and they blame 1 incident then they only have themselves to blame. I thgink you'll find that if they narrowly miss out they will not be shallow minded enough to blame a few marshalls who perhaps diddnt want to be killed and were p[robably waiting to hear what the upside down driver wished for.

Last of all - this is all guess work - i now very little but sometime a bit of perspective is a good thing eh?

In Finland the wiewers would be roll over the car about 10 seconds. There it takes 2 minutes!

Learn about Finns.

No wonder Mikko was moaning about the marshals.... how long does it take em....... useless......

[shane2k9]

marshals are useless

[TheKonaRob]

@Spedeeee it is quite difficult to turn a car back on its wheels.

[kennyrally]

[eircamae86]

Absolute joke.. respect for organisers etc but them lad should be ashamed

[Spedeeee]

@SirJazz Heh I was in that SS. Mikko crashes about 300 meters forward in my watching place. It was sad that he crashes but fortunately Jari-Matti takes win.

[SirJazz]

@Spedeeee The crash of Mikko in Finnland last week!!! You were right! it took 30 seconds to roll over and move the car!

Thumps up so everybody knows he was right!

[TJHOW1]

@Spedeeee thats because they are welsh, bit slow upstairs

[jobyadams]

just to let you know why the spectators did not go to push him back over is because the marchals were telling us not to! then they just flapped arround like headless chickens!!! dont get me wrong marchals do a great job in these rallys but they happened to have a bunch of idiots here unfortunatly for mikko!!!

[looneyfitter]

We ended up pushing him out of that ditch. Scousers to the rescue. Marshalls were jobs worth wankers!!
