Over on Youtube MadBison has posted footage of Car 39 taking a “massive dive over the Mineshaft in the Canberra Rally on 3 June 2007.” The footage is steady but all the action happens in the first few seconds.

I’ve watched a lot of cars going over that, and you don’t hit it that fast and drive away…

See other examples of the hydroponics sponsored 180B a few years ago (the video is on the net, somewhere), and the Mitsu Evo 8 or so of a couple of years ago – where the driver landed so hard he put his back out and had to be removed via ambulance…

‘Mineshaft’ – very apt name.
Have taken my Forester into (and out of) some very scary places, but doing that hill at pace takes the cake…

I work with Tristan’s dad and we have spent the last couple of days talking of nothing else. One very, very lucky lil’ bastid.

Both driver and codriver ok. Codriver is a local, Tristan Kent.
