I have watched this video so many times its unreal.

The famous bum clenching moment is at 2:10ish. Just watch it from the start though

Its Ari Vatanen showing how you do it back in '83.

Fantastic!

Reminds me of the video of his then Pikes Peak winning run in the 405T16 in Race to the Clouds. Im sure it was him (couldve been Rohrl) that took his hand off the wheel to shield his eyes in the low sun at high speed on gravel with a 2000ft drop a few feet from the car!

Must have boll*cks like bowling balls!

Also watched this a few times and many other Ari videos. What always gets me about him (and other top level drivers) is the calmness they exude.

That was Rohrl and also a fantastic bit footage.

AWESOME !

Love the pitch change in the co-drivers voice as they almost stack it into the cattlegrid. Proper driving that.

Love it

6 mins in in particular with co driver instructing "aim for the rock and (hand gesture) don't be a hero!"
