Jag gasar tills den rasar!
One of good rallydrivers slogan in swedish. It means like a “maximum attack until something blow up”.
Rantaralli hold on 8. October in Turku region. We get good sponsoring for one our support partner; 2 brand New Kumho- tyres to that rally. After that had we Kumho R800 175/70R15 Medium in every corner. After those 20 years old tyres I normally used it was nice to get something better. After many years by driving only 90% speed I decided to look how those new tyres really work.
Tyres Grip 100%, no more slide´s.
Maximum Attack with V4 gravel shotgun.
Tyres worked well, but driver not.
First stage was only 6km long, and I didn´t got my normally fast driving directly. End of the stage there was nice agricultural scenary with long view, one S- corner after 90 juction.
It looks like a smoots S and I took my target to next left curve with full speed by 3th gear. It was good plan, but because of long grass and rush I didn´t saw that S- curves first right corner tighten dramatically, and then it happens what should happens sometimes- Statistics Crash. I noticed that only way to survive is to hold full gas and drive via ditch back to road. Othervice good idea, but because of long period of raining in region, the ditch bank clay was wery soft and our cars left corner get sticked in full speed and we were immediately flying up. It was exciting moment indeed, but in the end of the story I can say that our “Eskimo turn” with bluewhite kayak wasn´t so successfully, so I can´t recommend it for you. “Don´t try this in our home”, or something like that.

Benefit to roll over in countryside, tractor help is easy to find. Thanks Farmer !
Hungry soldier ? Maybe we forgot feed it with proper food before rally ?

Ok, first thing after huge volt is that everything is okay with both drivers. Due to that spectators ask medical personal to come and shecked us. We had luck, but kayak is like a Californian russins now. V4 cross-flow manifold had also lucky day, nothing get broken under engine bonnet ! So now, some days after accident, it looks that we are back next year, just if we managed catch enough sponsoring.
We even got to the cover of Hanaa-magazine (14/2011)
