The crew had to walk over the start ramp at the informal start ceremony :) whilst the mechanics worked all night on rebuilding the car.
WRC championship leader Ogier did something similar but kept it greasy side down before dropping off a 6 foot wall onto another road from where he could not get access back to the stage. Incurred a 10 min penalty which has put him well down.

That's next years Blue Nun and Black Tower knackered (I'm joking before someone goes all agricultural and tells me those grapes are from three fields over to the left or right of the incident - it was not an accident and someone is to blame and must be held to account).

We were down there a couple of weekends ago, drove down the Mosel valley from Piesport to Cochem after spending the weekend near Bitburg.

Isn't it part of the game? That's why they have big roll cages isn't it?

The original clip has been changed on the DT site.
Its headline now looks silly with the new content.
I have suggested they review things

The original video is here:-

That's an impressive bit of video. What a way to park a car.
