My only DNF in rally sprint was caused by :
- blizzak on gravel (was supposed to snow) - no tubes (was scared of blowing out with the heat) - driver (me) saw spectators, forgot about the blizzak, the lack of snow and tubes, put the car sideway... really sideway... - both rear tires came off the rims at the same time. I finished the staged (scared the shit of my gf who was co-driving), open the trunk, 1 spare, no jack.... end of day. I'm still mad at myself because I did it in the 3rd stage and my father was spectating in the 4th. That's the only time he was able to come see me race before he died, so he never actually saw me racing  Francois |

100AW 2004 - First rally, 3.2 miles in, car in front crashed out and was blocking stage in middle of blind corner. Head on into a tree avoiding them. Once stage was clear was able to drive out, but radiator fan was damaged and car was overheating on transit to next stages.
Oregon Trail 2006 Day 3 - Codriving, driver got slightly off line and woosh we went towards one of those epic ravines in Oregon. Then boom, head on into a tree and we stop, precariously balancing above the ravine. When standing on the ground outside my door I could barely look in the window. It was close and we (and especially the car owner) were really lucky we didn't go over the edge. Grant Hughes |
