More than a few of 'em ended up there too. 380HP, 4-wheel drive, a 6-speed sequential 'box, and a 2,618lb min weight makes for some butt-clinching excitement.

This series, along with Grand Prix motorcycle racing, has some of the most hair-raising action in motorsport. France's Sebastien Loeb and Citroen dominated WRC with 9 consecutive championships in the early 2000s when the events were televised here in the US. In-car cameras would show drivers having that deer-in-the-headlight look in their eyes and never even taking the time to blink.
