WRC fire
You may have heard about a recent WRC crash at the Rally of Portugal. But you may not have realised just how much damage this incident caused to the surrounding forest.
New footage uploaded to YouTube by the official FIA World Rally Championship channel shows Hayden Paddon crash his Hyundai i20 into the forest.
The vehicle’s hot exhaust then sparks a few flames in the dry forest. But things quickly get seriously out of hand and Paddon is forced to say farewell to his i20 as it goes up in flames.
A few moments later, Ott Tänak crashes his Ford Fiesta RS in the same spot, although that vehicle is quickly saved from fire.
