Perhaps you didn’t. But this one is worth watching from at least two angles.

This particular rally took place in Estonia, near the north shore. You can find out more about it here — but if the course is always like this, I might relax my no-rallying stance and give it a shot!

When I finally got a broadband internet connection back in the day, I spent waaaaaaaay too much time watching people jump cars on youtube... This was kinda impressive the way he saved the landing and then drifted it, but it's by no means an impressive jump in itself. I've seen people get more height in an RV (then going to the hospital with back injuries, but, well, omelets and broken eggs)
Very well done! My buddy once jumped a Texas gate with a rental Chrysler. The jump was measured at about 40 feet. But when he landed the airbags went off, knocking his hands off the wheel and sending him into the ditch where he scratched the side of the car on some bushes. He didn't spill his beer though. He drove back into town with the windshield smashed and the airbags hanging out, and came up with a perfectly reasonable story for it. There's no reason the airbags should have gone off for such a minor impact anyway.
