The mess made if steel and composite materials you see above once was a brand new Peugeot 208 T16 rally car, built to R5 specifications and eligible to start in pretty much every rally series, national or international.
This car specifically was driven by !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! from Estonia during the Rally Poland when he took a turn too fast, ran wide and as a result rolled his little 208. Spectators were on scene immediately and made sore both the Kruuda and his co-driver are okay, and luckily they both are. It proves how much safety has evolved in motorsports.

I couldn't quite make out which model it was, but it's safe to say that it's now sports the !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! .
