Sébastien Ogier's 41-metre jump in Rally Sweden

Anonim

Sébastien Ogier broke Colin ’s Crest's record, when in the last edition of Rally Sweden, he set the mark of 41 meters in jumping. As it was the second pass, it did not count towards an official record.

Colin’s Crest is one of the highlights of Rally Sweden. The name of this jump is a tribute to Colin Mcrae and although it is not the biggest jump in the WRC, it is recognized for its charm. The 41 meters of the jump by Sébastien Ogier were registered but it was the pilot's second pass. In the first pass, Ogier «stayed» for 35 meters and as the jump that counts for the official table is the first pass, who takes the “cup” of this 2014 edition is the pilot Juha Hänninen, with a jump of 36 meters .

2014 record – Juha Hänninen (36 meters):

Ken Block set a record in 2011 with his Ford Fiesta WRC jumping 37 meters. That's impressive, but it just matched the same mark left by Marius Aasen in 2010. Who? A Norwegian teenager, who at age 18 was participating for the first time in the WRC with a Group N all-wheel drive car. According to Aasen, it was a mistake and jumped “to confidence”, without realizing where he was. On the second pass he stayed at 20 meters.
