VIDEO: Flight of the Rally Cars
The coolest part about rally racing is undoubtedly those precious moments of air time, when racing cars – usually designed to great lengths to stay glued to the tarmac or dirt – take flight. People will camp out in the woods all day and watch entire races on television just for those rare glimpses.
This video gives you just the good stuff: WRC and Dakar racing machines flying over crests and down hills, plus some touring cars and open-wheelers spinning out, just for good measure. It's three minutes and nineteen seconds that elevates the levitating cars to a ballet. All for your viewing pleasure – see if you can stay in your seat.

#4 I was up to say that. That Mercedes flying is unbelievable.

I remeber back in the 90's when car and driver test drove the McLaren F1. There is a pic of it in the AIR! They said something like "this car was made to fly and land"
GREAT!

What about the Aston Martin that flew farther than the Wright brothers' first flight?
And is it just me or was the last 20 seconds of video a repeat of the first 20 seconds?

Super cool clip. Music is not very well for this.
Just few more jumps from Finland Rally. There all WRC cars made jumps of oover 50 m.

The music is much more appropriate, IMO.

Is it just me, or would that video have been twice as cool if it would have shown more of the cars landing instead of just flying? I always want to know if the driver pulled it off, or just ate shxt when the car came down.
I have the same problem with most skiing/snowboarding/skateboarding videos though. Anybody can huck, it's only cool if you can stay in control.
