Better vid, including interior view.
Wow, that interior view is something else, the crash basically destroyed the dash.

You could hear him pedal the throttle before the jump. If he would have stayed in it, he would have cleared with ease.

DIAF ...if he had enough speed he would have landed that 100x better than any of the STi's did!

after watching it a few times you can see that the landing ramp has a liitle flat entry that he avoids the 1st time and lands flawlessly and when he flips he lands directly on that flat entry part.

I'm pretty sure cloudy was saying they should take out the jump not Evo's lol.

The jump elevates the whole Rally thing to X Game status. Is it necessary? No. Is it cool? Questionable. But its definately very "X Games." Plus it causes all those fun looking wrecks!

As I said before as long as you hit the jump straight at a certain speed (which is easy to calculate with basic physics) you will make the jump; assuming the suspension is not to soft or hard. It cracks me up that the Evo driver pedals the throttle approaching the jump...
