Rally Finland (which is also running this week) is consistently the fastest, wildest, most-mid-air-iest rally in the world. See how long Chris and Alex have no wheels on the ground. See how long they, in their little front-wheel-drive Ford Fiesta are completely and utterly sideways. Particularly the corner where Chris goes down to first gear.
You’ll know it when you see it.
