Here’s What It Looks Like To Crash Your Rally Car Into A Reservoir


It’s bad enough to crash your rally car, but flipping your rally car into a body of water and sinking it? That’s a whole new level of scary.

This crash happened during the Mexico stage of the World Rally Championship when Ott Tanak rolled his Fiesta off the road and into a freaking reservoir. Nope.

The worst thing is that seconds before the crash, you hear an ominous “uh oh” over the on-bard radio. That’s the last thing you want to hear in a rally car, I’d expect.

Ott and his co-driver escaped from the sinking vehicle pretty goddamn fast, but this could have gone so wrong. Rally cars and water still don’t mix, kids.
