A quote from Petter Solberg at the end of his second place drive at Rally Finland:

We almost lost it on the first corner, but I kept on going. At one point, I was standing in my seat with all my weight on the throttle pedal – I actually bent it! I know it’s not quite a win, but it certainly feels like one!

Can’t say the boy wasn’t trying.

By the way…Finland is pretty well known for its jumps….
