This WRC Driver Didn't Let A Missing Wheel Stop Him
WRC privateer Martin Prokop was looking set for a points finish at Rally Spain when he ripped a wheel off his Ford Fiesta RS. But in typical rally driver style, he soldiered on and kept going, eventually retiring two stages from the finish
The video above captures the aftermath of the accident, with Prokop soldiering on with a badly damaged car and tackling the famous roundabout at the end of the Duesaigües stages. Much to the crowd’s enjoyment, of course.
Unsurprisingly, Sebastien Ogier claimed victory at the Spanish WRC round and secured his fourth title in the series.

That had to be a wheelie tyring effort of him trying to reach the finish line
Same logic applied in baja SAE in the last 20 minutes of endurance, if it’s still moving, keep going !
wheels are overrated
I think its a volvo in disguise
By “eventually retiring” you mean at the end of that stage, right? Drivers are no longer allowed to transit with missing wheels
Yeah he persevered through the rest of that stage and then retired
That’s wheely good
I know where the door is
