Pretty rapid that LOL!

Kubica has been having some good results in the rallies he has entered since his accident and is contemplating a WRC career, but as yet has not decided fully on his plans for 2013!

Hope he is successful in whatever he chooses to do as he is a special talent!

oi who you calling possessed

The subaru did a lot of damage in that jump , shocks exploded and the hard landing bent the rear chassis rails , as well as damaging the driver back , he had to stop just down the road as he couldn't continue.
The big jumps look good , I done loads of damage on the last Epynt rally after a hard landing , could have put me out of the rally as I cracked the sump and it was losing oil , for the last loop I took a gallon of oil out with me and kept topping it up to finish and get points for the championship

I imagine that after driving an F1 car, that probably looks pretty slow to him!

Doesn't look shopped to me. If you stop the video around 11s looks the same height if you take into account the slightly different position of the photographer!

+1

I woulden't say it's photoshopped either.

Ask Bob T he seems to be the person who took it, he'll know either way.

Quality photo, quality jump!

Fair play, big kahooners needed but i guess it goes to show how well these cars are set up as well, if they werent, they wouldnt be making these tight bends at speed etc !

Barely a corner at all.....more a gap between a hedge and a sign. Turning left in to the spectators would have been a corner.

Depending on the rally he may even have driven this already and taken notes.

There is a corner in the distance, and he slows down and shifts for it.
