WRC Driver Gets Lost In Car Park, Still Wins Rally
We can’t remember the last time a World Rally Championship event ended in this much drama, after long-time Rally Mexico leader Kris Meeke flew off road and into a car park in the final minutes
Meeke’s Citroen C3 WRC narrowly avoided hitting spectator cars as it jumped through the bushes and into the car park.
He seemed to get a little lost – shades of F1 star Kimi Raikkonen at Interlagos in 2013 – but eventually found his way back onto the road.
His lead was 40 seconds heading into the stage but he completed it still with a 13.8-second advantage over M-Sport’s Sebastien Ogier to win.

Typical car guy leaving a car meet
He just wanted to show off his hooning skills
First a R8 LMS that crashed and won the race, now a C3 WRC that got lost and still won the race… What next?
We’re gonna see it in cars 3
“That’s my boy.”
Why rally drivers don’t use SatNav
When a wrc driver watches too much Maldonado videos
Well I think we all know whose driving
Or at least giving the pace notes…
Captain sense of direction. Lol.
i wonder if that barrier line thing is still stuck to that car
zero-f*cks-given lite
When you try to initial d but it doesnt work
The Passat afterwards ;)
Is this real car?
‘Narrowly avoiding spectators’ cars’.
Correct me if I am wrong, I think he hit it…
Edit: credit to Rallye Magazin. It is real. Watch closely. He tags it as soon as he leaves the road. He gave the owner a hat with “Sorry!” on it.
If that was my car, I’d have him sign the trunk lid, make sure that the bumper was safe and ok to use, and the tail lights still worked, and just leave it like that.
Is that the passat that was right next to where he entered the parking lot?
