When most people have a tree blocking their path, they choose to go around it. But that wasn’t really an option for F1 and rally car driver, Robert Kubica. Tearing round a bend, Kubica miscalculated his turn, and being faced with a rapidly approaching tree he chose to hold his line and mow the wood down rather than swerve.
What do you get when a filmaker, professional rally racer and part time crazy stunt driver and GoPro team up? You get a face melting, ear thumping, cheek shaking, heart racing video like this one.
It may not always get the mainstream attention that it deserves, but Rally driving is a serious sport with serious risks. This was once again demonstrated last week when an Evo race car took a turn for the worse and flew off of a mountain onto a steep rocky slope.
