Awesome.  The in-car footage shows how quickly it all goes wrong and how little can be done to save it.  It really gives you an appreciation for how good the top guys really are.

That ATV rider at 0:34 was very, very close to getting obliterated.

So true.  I've watched other clips where deer were struck during night stages.  The last crash seems to go on for a long time before the car finally comes to rest.  I can't imagine what it would be like to be inside.

Great post, thanks. A couple of those photographers probably needed a change of underpants.  :)
