What a tough year this was for M-Sport and also very busy for their mechanics. They repaired a car in almost every country.

[@robbyfn]

I am not complaining. I got to get close and personal with Gus Greensmith's tailgate at the service park in New Zealand. Those carbon pieces are SOOO light it is hard to comprehend.

[@JoelTehMole]

Honestly you could have made this list with just m-sport drivers and it would have still been just as good

[@joshuatam8975]

um... maybe bad drivers? when they get tanak driving there wont be so much i think

[@eedesign878]

They have best CV’s of any mechanics. :D Repaired a totaled car in 15 countries in a year. :D

[@max27stoner]

How on the earth the Fourmaux’s Monte Carlo Rally crash wasn’t number 1? I mean that was one of the most craziest and dangerous crashes in WRC history. The Puma was pretty much completely destroyed

[@f12018]

What about Tanak MC crash ? 🤣

[@kuutio3730]

@@f12018hat was last year

[@kristjanpeemot3477]

Yeah go watch the Tänak Monte Carlo crash, now that was one of the most dangerous crashes in WRC history. The most dangerous crashes were in the 80s back when Group B was a thing.

[@zwjna]

Yes, I think Tänak's was worse than Fourmaux's, as well as Latvala's in Portugal 2009 or Meeke in Portugal 2018, to name a few. The Puma looks more destroyed than those other cars simply because those are now silhouette cars made with a tubular chassis and panels on top that make the car look like the road-going one. They are full-blown prototypes made from zero for rallying. So, Fourmaux's Puma "just" lost its panels.

[@kuutio3730]

@@zwjna Tänak’s crash in monte carlo happened last year

[@paulv5260]

4:33 Take a moment to remember Craig Breen, who sadly passed earlier this year during testing in Croatia. These guys drive balls to the wall and it remains highly engaging for fans but with high risk/reward for the competitors. RIP Craig 1990-2023

[@ugatsz1]

Big Credit for the M-Sport mechanics! They deserve a huge payrise, they have been working extremly well this year.

[@papafranku274]

But most of the money goes to repairs

[@AJ-kc9up]

To be honest, M-Sport alone would take 10min to go through all their crashes. They crashed in every rally, sometimes 2 cars. I feel so bad for the management and mechanical team. Show them how it's done Ott!

[@Hachi501st]

Im glad all the drivers this season are healthy and safe. Some of these crashes show how far safety has come and lessons to improve more

[@fordguy8792]

Amazing to see how different pro crashes are to rookie crashes. With amateurs there's a LOT of panic braking into curves and losing control after catching shoulders. The pros seem to carry too much speed into corners and/or under rotate during the turn, but there's always confidence on entry. Also wonderful demonstrations on how effective safety cell design is, that all these drivers hop out amd walk away. Fascinating to watch!

[@kentbeitel9966]

Damn he flew off the mountain.. that’s a wild crash

[@cyclonicleo]

I'm no Ford fan, but this is heartbreaking for M-Sport. I can only shudder at the wasted budget this season. However, this is rally and when you're trying to bring on new talent, big accidents are inevitable.

[@DELRELES]

I think that Fourmaux's crash in Monte Carlo should have been number one. The violence of the crash and the destruction of his car are more than enough merits for this, so to speak, sad win.

[@grenvald406]

adrien formaux has recorded 3 crashes in 2022, what a record !!

[@lukakulic7527]

Four, at Croatia Rally he crashed in someone's yard just 300 meters after the start of the stage.

[@nathanhull350]

[@Pyllymysli]

I'm not usually one of those "why don't you have..." persons with these lists, but c'mon. Esapekkas roll was SPECTACULAR and he finished with a good position. And he drove without a windshield with ski glasses on. And he refilled his 1 million toyota yaris GR with finnish lake water. And he didn't make the top 10?!?! THIS IS RALLY!

[@hkj73]

This video reminds me of Dirt Fish's interview video with Andreas Adamo, when he mentioned that there aren't many good drivers in the WRC these days.

The M-Sport insurance fraud scheme 2022. Seriously though hopefully they're bringing more cars over the finish line next season and some wins with Tänak. Hoping to see all 3 manufacturers consistently on the podium!

[@843Reboot]

4:57 they put the haybale in the other ditch right there lmfao

[@TheRUBrally]

In my opinion Fourmaux's Croatia crash should be on the list

[@Elhesh]

So the crashes were basically formau showing how to crash. Thanks for the tutorial

[@AsherSkylark]

Kalle's crash is the most surprising one

[@nigelsmith7366]

If that was the top 10 crashes then it was a very tame season

[@benking2882]

"We looked at the data" and it wasn't me! 🤣

[@arvidvenngren]

Are you kidding me ? Jari-Matti's crash (from which he recovered) was the coolest ever!

[@psychosis1767]

Too bad he had too aggressive of an angle. He may have pulled it off if he hadn't stepped out the rear too much

[@slimracer1553]

The corner where Formaux crashed in Monte Carlo, was it where Paddon went of and hit a spectator?

[@PhoebeGrigor]

I saw Greensmith’s car being towed on a trailer back to the service park in New Zealand, and it was…not good…the tray of the ute was filled with bits of the car too 😬

think the dude falling down a literal cliff is far more severe and far more a contender for a number one spot than anything else lol

I am never getting salty about crashing in dirt rally again

[@lleytonhaeke8284]

Everyone does underestimate the ypres rally its a way more dangerous rally then a lot of people think. I live in the near region and the ditches are sometimes invisible and unpredicatble. Also the the roads are crap, its very easy to lose grip. Thats probably why their will be not a 2024 edition i suppose

[@nicola-wi6jo]

😱🙏🥇👍. No comment.

6/10 are M Sport and half of those are Formaux 😳

I've done that 2nd crash so many times in the sim. What's funny is, your reaction is to gun it for traction but in reality if you let off the gas altogether, your rotation stops and you just slide diagonally. You lose some time but it's better than being crashed out

[@jimsagubigula7337]

Yeah, this would get you killed in real life. The car would get its rear knocked off course even more due to bad weight transfer. Counter-steering and flooring it is the only course of action here to maybe save the car.

[@raidermaxx2324]

@@quistador7 yeaaa.. still dont know what that means.. am i supposed to automatically know this abbreviation, especially if im already asking which sim? lol wanna give the first word at least?

[@quistador7]

@@jimsagubigula7337 you have no idea what you are talking about. Flooring it takes the weight transfer further into the rear tires and away from front outside tires. The front outside tires are what need the traction to slow down the car. Letting off the throttle rocks the car outwards putting weight into the rear and front tires slowing the car without spinning it. I hate how people can be so confident but also wrong. You probably haven't sat in a race car in your entire life just don't talk
