Epic Saves

[GravelBen]

We've all seen those moments of video (generally motorsport, but sometimes on the road) when a driver is so far over the limit that you can't help but ask yourself "how the did they get away with that?" Some are better known than others, like the Vatanen/Harryman "Dear God!" moment on the Manx. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-R7ws741KpE&fea...

This thread is for sharing some of your favourites, especially ones we might not have seen before.


To start it off, here's one I came across today from an event I was snapping some photos at recently, watch carefully at 2:45...

Don't we already have a YouTube thread and besides which, that is not an epic save.

Not that I saw in the first 20 pages of GG

Feel free to contribute something better instead of just whinging about it though.

The YouTube thread is stickied at the top of The Lounge sub-forum. It's over 100 pages now, I think.

Too true! The comment as they cross the line at the end cracked me up too.

BTW that driver beat Ari Vatanen in a Mk2 Escort at this year's Otago Classic Rally - he can drive a bit.

That is amazing!

Can I self nominate?

Copse at Silverstone





Although I don't have the next image, scouts honour it did actually come back

Well held! I imagine its a fair bit edgier holding a slide like that in a racecar on slicks than a soft, forgiving road car.

To be fair, it was just lock stops and powerrrrr, not a huge amount of skill involved

That's the great thing about front wheel drive, 'nope, no way, that's gone, I'm going round... oooh it's come back!'

Dan Kneens absolutely EPIC SAVE on this year's TT.
