Crazy Finns Rally Crash Video

With more world champions than any other, why is Finland one of the most successful countries in motorsports? Some say it's due to prime conditions such as endless woodland backroads with little or no speed enforcement, tens of thousands of frozen lakes during winter, and strong karting and motorcycle youth programs.  We also see an element of nepotism, as previous champions and racers have paved a way for young hopefuls. However, it could also be that they've got a couple of loose screws in their heads.

Despite the scientific analysis, this ten minute video is a compilation of rally crashes solely in Finland from the last 20 years.  It shows the level of dedication or insanity that every rally driver faces when honing the skills of their sport.

Haha this is pure awesomeness! And you can see why you should never, as a spectator, be on the outside of a curve.

In order to make an omelette, you gotta break some eggs. And maybe a couple of femurs for good measure.

Forget about what James May had to say as to why the Finns are great canidates at rally racing.... These clips says it much better. Pratice (like this) truly is perfect.
