Nice Recovery
 
Wonder if he could have made this recovery in a Tourweg?

Four sets of skidmarks ... one from the truck, one from the driver, one from the co-driver, one from the guy running away!

holy crap!

How in the hell did the driver avoid that drop off after that wild ride?

speeder 07-01-2004 10:23 AM

I have never seen anyone avoid a roll like that, OMFG!! :eek:

That is actually a good instructional video of how to save a roll by steering into it, in a "soft roll" it would be very effective. In a sports car w/o the extreme ground clearence you would not still be able to steer when the vehicle is that far tipped, however. :cool:

And he keeps on racing like nothing happenned!

Ok I am impressed. The true question is would the pepper recover :)

Sorry guys I had to.

I think that more pure dumb luck rather than skill and the driver pretty much just rode it out.

I would like to see the Dakar Touareg do the same thing

No doubt a lot of luck was involved, but watch the slow motion part. You can see the driver turning into the roll both times.

BlueSkyJaunte 07-01-2004 11:16 AM

Mostly luck. If he were *that* skilled, the roll would've never started in the first place.

YOWZA! What do you guys think the "Pucker-factor" was? 9.5, 9.7?

Saintly 07-01-2004 02:06 PM

I think that after that their a$ses where going

Damn, that's impressive. I'm sure you noticed that he re-centered the steering after both near-rolls. I vote 85% skill and 15% luck. The luck comes in mainly in avoiding the drop-off...

KevinP73 07-01-2004 03:40 PM

That got my heart rate up just watching !! I bet he got back to his pit crew and said "I meant to do that!"

bell 07-01-2004 04:02 PM

the guy with the camera could've stood still and had one hell of a set of sequence shots :D

Jeff964 07-02-2004 08:48 AM

Now, that's what I call off-road!!
