Didn't he bust crew or car with that one?

Think it was where Tim flatened a telegraph pole the previous year, so we took it fairly steady

Landing looked ok - although I wouldn't have fancied it myself :shock:

Any idea how far he jumped?

Yep. :(

Rear dampers exploded/set on fire, didn't they?

Two cracked vertebrae in Barry's back and a proper shafted rear end on the shell. :?:

Instant retirement iirc.

Good jump, tho. :P 8)

Barry compressed 4 vertebrae and had to take quite a lot of time off from rally car racing....

His car didn't get off lightly either. All 4 shock absorbers blew out, the front ones dumped their oil in the engine bay causing a fire. shortly after this footage, both car and driver were out of the rally....looked cool though eh!


Possibly a more informed version.

I haven't been airborn in any car yet, jumps have always seemed dubious to me in cars. As to my mind, the car only has to rotate a degree or two the wrong way and it'll try to throw the car in an direction when it lands. But I suppose its something you get used to and can anticipate?
