I was almost sure the girl that kept sitting got crushed, but in slo-mo it became clear by just how much the car missed her.

I dearly hope the scare tought them to keep away from being so close to the track. They almost were mashed potatoes.

It's easy to underestimate the trajectory of a car leaving the exit of a fast bend, this should be compulsory viewing for anyone planing to watch a rally.

Although I think the telephoto lens compresses the distance. The car falls back to the road before it gets to where the people are sitting on that wall.

Wasn't so long ago..back in the day..that Latin rally fans habitually did a 'running of the bulls' routine..
..with predicably bad outcomes..
