Being a rally driver isn’t always fun and games; you do have to avoid a tractor every now and then.
Following the jumping frenzy in Poland, the WRC drivers are heading for the next event in Finland, but some of them are already practicing the course for the upcoming German Rally.
That being said, it’s imperative to know that in practice runs safety and security aren’t very much enforced, so a rally driver has to expect pretty much everything to go wrong or jump in front of the car. Dogs, cats, telephone poles, tractors, you name it.
And that’s what happened with Thierry Neuville, who probably needed new pair of underwear after a man in a tractor decided to cross his path.
But of course, being a professional super-machine operator, the tractor driver immediately backed up the agricultural vehicle, thus avoiding a major collision.
Joking aside, the Belgian rally driver had lightning reflexes and managed to stop the angry Hyundai right on time. Try watching the video without cringing.
