This Is Why You Should Watch RallyCross: Tord Linnerud’s 360-degree Spin And Save!


This Is Why You Should Watch RallyCross: Tord Linnerud’s 360-degree Spin And Save!

Global RallyCross is a wonderful package: the cars, driving skills and insanity of rally racing coupled with a Stadium Super Trucks-style course. It’s tight and fast racing action on dirt, tarmac or both, and the drivers act as if they are trying out for a Ken Block YouTube video. If you’ve never seen one of these little buzz bomb cars run, you need to, pure and simple.

You see that Volkswagen Polo R that’s facing the wrong direction? That’s Tord Linnerud, and he isn’t having the best start to a RallyCross race ever. At the start, Linnerud finds himself sandwiched between another Polo and an Audi as they near the first turn. While trying to get out of the center of the pile, the Audi ends up pit-manuvering him into the wall tail-end-first. Without so much as a pause, Linnerud has the clutch dumped and powers his way out in a nearly perfect 360-degree spin back into traffic.
