Eriksson went on to win the Germany RX race, having started from the second row of the grid and swept around three of his competitors at the first corner with this downright insane overtaking move.

Meanwhile Mattias Ekstrom did enough with fifth place to win the World Rallycross 2016 title, with one round of the season still to go.

Amazing, Utterly Bewildering, Ultimately Successful. Unlike those people who crash when doing so.

That was putting his balls on the table.

If he had screwed it up it would have been one of the funniest mess ups caught on TV.

And who said drifting was the slowest way around a corner?
