[Video] Almost rolling down a cliff in the 2020 Dakar looks uncomfortable | GRR
Imagine the scene. You're doing the Dakar rally in a Toyota Hilux (the same car as Fernando Alonso). You make a small mistake and hit a rock. That catapults you into a second rock, which rips your front left wheel off and nearly throws you off a cliff.
A sign that you should give up right? Not if you're Ronan Chabot, with co-driver Gilles Pillot. No, instead you wait for help, and have your car righted ready to try and get going. What do you then do if the car then begins to roll back off the same cliff? Panic? Run? Nah, you grab the rope and keep the whole car from falling just with your own brute strength. Truly Dakar takes a different kind of person.
