This Rally Team Is Competing In A Snow Stage At Night When This Happens…


This Rally Team Is Competing In A Snow Stage At Night When This Happens…

Snow rallying takes everything that is insane and dangerous and multiplies it by ten due to the lack of traction and all of the fun that frigid temperatures brings to the stage. Snow and ice are not friendly to cars at the best of circumstances. Run a winter stage at night and things get that much worse, because the world quite literally becomes black and white: night sky, white snow. A driver has to be perfectly on their game in order to not ball the car up into a drift. But when an object…say, another car…is sitting in the middle of the stage broken down behind a blind rise in the road, there really isn’t much that anyone can do. We don’t know where this was filmed, though this did happen a couple of weeks ago, but we do know that all parties involved were alright…surprising, considering the speed involved in the accident.

    This accident took place one year ago near my village, in Istebna, Poland.

    The civilian car then was Subaru Forester, and the rally car is that cool rally BMW E36 Compact with M engine πŸ™‚

    ​The driver is Artur Cichowski, one of the better rally drivers in southern Poland.

    Situation took place on closed stage. Someone from safety team screwed up, and civilian car got on the road. Not a driver’s fault, for sure.

    Everyone was just OK. BMW was fixed and is (as far as I know) still doing great job during rallies and codrives πŸ˜‰
