Fastest roll?
I am looking for some information on the fastest roll in WRC. IIRC it was a Toyota Celica(maybe?) in Australia(perhaps?), it was on a long sweeping right hand bend(I think?) and was filmed from a Helicopter. Car went off the road onto it roof back onto itw wheels and back onto the stage in seconds.
Does this ring a bell with anyone? Or was I drunk?I will be rich, as soon as I invent a machine that can punch a man in the face over the internet.

Yes, that was Carlos Sainz in 2001.

Tommi Makinen had a roll during Argetina 2002 in a Subaru, even faster and scarier. He almost took out a spectator in the process.

Not sure although another couple of fast ones I can remember are Richard Burns in Finland in the Subaru maybe 1999?
Also Carlos in the Toyota Celica GRP A days in Australia, left hander hooked something and side for side. The ST185 model? Not sure on the model but a well documented roll over.
Markko Martin and Michael Parks end over end. Cant remember year or rally though sorry."It's the most fun you can have with your pants on" - Possum Bourne

Thiry in the Ford Escort at Rally NZ, he went a long way down the road on the roof.

Does anyone know where I could look to research this? Motorsport Mad is all over the place and Wikipedia is no better?
