That car will buff right out. Looks like he didn't carry enought speed before hitting the jump.

wow looked like a good run till the jump. seemed like he underestimated it with little bit less throttle. btw was that exhaust flying in the left part of the screen or a camera?

Evos just fail on jumps.. simple as that.
Wish they would just take them out already.. Kinda stupid to have them in there. Not really needed.. And thats the only reasons STi's even win. STi's seem to just float on jumps where Evos go nose first.

he try to be safe , too safe. which is a good tactics when you lead the games, but this was a little too much thinking about safety. Or the car bugged just before the jump. Who knows?

I watched it live. He needed a little more pedal to carry that jump. They were saying that he has been having problems with the jump. Looks like he needed a little more TQ JK
