Video: Rally driver rolls it, carries on

The Finns are known as the coolest customers in the world of motorsport. And things don't get much cooler than spectacularly rolling a rally car in the snow, then carrying on like it was no big deal.

That's exactly what Jari Huttunen and his co-driver Marko Vartiainen did in their Opel Astra at the Runni Rock Ralli over in Finland, after losing control and hitting a snowbank during their run.

Skip to around the 2m50s mark in the video to see Huttunen getting very significantly out of line, sending the Astra into a full-fat double barrel roll.

Were the pair shaken up after such a tumble? Absolutely not. With typically Finnish insouciance, they simply continue with their run, just as committed as before the crash.

It's a move the late Colin McRae would have applauded, and incidentally something the flying Scot did himself during the 2006 X-Games. Click these blue words to watch the sadly missed 1995 WRC Champion rolling it close to the finish line, but carrying on to pick up a silver medal. Heroic.
