Deutschland rally 2016

Lefebvre didn't get caught by the stone guards along the road rolling the car over... that could have ended up even worse. The stones slowed him down prior to collision thanks to the higher speed.

The beginning of the crash is shown in the highlights https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Wv-v9l3X18

The onboard gives the idea the car hit the stones (or whatever they’re called) with the left rear wheel and marks on the grass, seen on the aerial after crash view, indicate it went off the road, eventually crashing into the tree on a frontal impact.

Considering the speed and the tree size, it could be much worse if it was a lateral impact.


Btw, tomorrow must be interesting to follow: 2nd overall fight’s still open, just like on WRC2 and WRC3. Lappi and Tempestini have been doing a great job (and also Pryce on DMC).

Ogier back to seek and destroy mode...

Ogier's mom should have get pregnant 10 years earlier.

The Russians have some saying about "Two bears in a single lair". It wouldn't work....

i really dont understant your post.Did i said that i dont know whats a tree?
if you saw any hit with a tree tell me where to stop the video to watch it.
Car hits 5-6 hintelsteins at very high speed,and thats enough to through out the engineand all the front crossmember.If this major damage was from a tree the engine hood wouldnt be at its place.

dimviii, Lefebrve defenetly hit something after that moment with hinkelsteins. They rip off left suspention and he slide into a left ditch. You don't see it on video but on video we saw that after kissing a stones engine still with car. If engine was rip off at that moment with hinkelstiens - they fly in this direction after that point, but he didn't. And on heli-video oil trail from engine clearly shows direction from the point where engine was ripped off the car.


PS I pick this view to show some tyres slide near trees, 2 or 3 seconds earlier oil trail - more visible

they don't seem to have made a big difference in 6 years.

He had many problems (clipped kerb, steering, handbrake) but thats just 'moaning' isnt it. He's still ahead of Paddon but no-one says anything about him.

Because its only Paddons 8th Tarmac event ever (in any car) vs Mads been driving in the WRC for many years.

So are we going to hear Ogier complain that the he is too far back and getting a dirty road today?
