Raikkonen crashes out of Mexico WRC

Raikkonen rolled his Citroen C4 off the road a mile from the end of the second run through the El Cubliete test. The car rolled six times, Raikkonen and his co-driver Kaj Lindstrom were uninjured, but the C4 is destroyed.

6 times? Yikes. I recall a double flip Kimi did in Finland last season.

Glad there were no injuries.

While that may be true when you roll at a Nascar event you don't have to worry about rolling down a hill or smashing into trees. That takes driving skills unlike what Nascar drivers have.

So it takes drivers of a certain skill set inorder to roll a car down a hill and avoid trees while you have zero control over the vehicle? Im not sure that I follow?

It just takes members of a post to comment about things they never experienced by themselfes! Did you roll only one time already - if not, just keek your mouth shut!

?????????
Where did that come from?

I hope I never roll a car, that would just ruin my week.
So please enlighten me as to how one can still keep control of his vehicle while it is rolling.

This calls for a few rally crash videos...

Edit: Removed videos and started a dedicated rally crash thread: http://www.1addicts.com/forums/showthread.php?t=359022
