WRC Great Crashes Vol 1 DVD - Description
The World Rally Championship is spectacular, stunning and unpredictable. This jaw-dropping collection of shocking smashes shows you must always expect the unexpected in the action-packed WRC.
Get set to experience bone-jarring, car-wrecking, scenery-smashing accidents from almost two decades of the WRC. Incredible camerawork, including plenty from on-board the cars, puts you so close to the action you'll share every heart-stopping moment with rallying greats including Colin McRae, Richard Burns, Carlos Sainz, Petter Solberg, Mikko Hirvonen, Chris Atkinson and many more. Interviews with the stars and team bosses like Malcolm Wilson reveal the true story behind many of these colossal collisions.
Discover the obstacles the top drivers try - and often fail - to avoid, including trees, telegraph poles, Armco barriers and even other WRC cars! You'll experience almighty impacts alongside some of the biggest names in the sport - including a very rare mistake by the seemingly infallible Sebastien Loeb and the horrific accident suffered by McRae in Corsica.
There's plenty of young drivers like Dani Sordo finding, and often exceeding, their limits in the high-speed WRC and a chance to witness the supreme talents which have saved several of our stars with just inches to spare. Plus, you can find out exactly how much punishment one of the ultra-strong WRC cars can stand, and why a 'hinkelstein' can spell disaster.
Denis Giraudet, who has been co-driver for many of the sport's major stars during his 20-plus year career, reveals the superstition which he believes has kept him safe in some monumental crashes, plus double World Champions Marcus Gronholm and Timo Rautiainen relive the most spectacular spills and thrills from their glorious career together.
