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?

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.

Are you looking for rolls that started at especially high speed (as the ones suggested so far) and ending in retirement or rolls that ended quickly, perhaps landing the car on the stage and the race was on again.

This is not a roll (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SXBAkh8TT0w), but something what I'd like to see.

Thiry in the Ford Escort at Rally NZ, he went a long way down the road on the roof.
P Solberg - 2004 - Rally Germany

Not
that one. The car continued on in the rally and it was filmed from a helicopter.

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

I think it was Argentina in 1991. A few stages before retirement for Sainz/Moyia Carlos was selecting first gear while the car was on its roof and Louis kept right on reading the notes.

This video at 6 minutes 14 seconds shows the car coming back onto the road after the roll. Does anyone have any more footage of it?
Many thanks.
