    It used to happen a lot on pro rallies too.
    Just now with the short stages and the recce'ing it's seldom they get caught out by muddy roads as this guy clearly was.
    Guys on "big-boys" are calling the guy an amateur and saying he was on the brakes etc etc. Load of bravado and bs. On mud when it locks up it's very common for the wheels not to start rotating again and just keep sliding - it's like ice. Sometimes there is buggar all you can do but wait for the bang
    'course it coudl be he was bad driver too

    Man that is scary. Seems like they got out though. That is good. I would be freaking out as soon as the water seeped into the comparment.
