Please prepare for take off...

Rally Finland... big... no huge... no enormous jumps.

Do wings help rally cars? Peter Solberg thinks so...

Marcus Gronholm won... next round is Germany on the tarmac where its not whee air but just scary fast.

That Focus is getting more air time than Michael Jordan. That is crazy.

With those numbers on the side of the road....there's probably some interesting side bets to see who flies furthest!

CRAZY......

I'm guessing those numbers are meters?

If so, 30m = ~90ft. Whoa!

I watched the rally last night on tape and could not believe how many people were really close to where Petter's car came down. It could have been really ugly if he flew just a few feet further over. Crazy stuff.

70 MPH = ~ 100 Feet per second. So, yeah, 90 ft would be very doable!
