Ex F1 driver Robert Kubica throws his Citroen DS3 RRC (on class below WRC) into a jump at Rally Germany. Dusty roads and no guard rails make it even more difficult.
Kubica is currently leading his class but is getting pressure from behind, I guess this explains his full-throttle attitude.

Mads Østberg described a jump on Panzerplatte as flat out in 6th gear, jumping 50 metres. He said he landed so hard the gearbox changed down to 5th all by itself. Just proves how hard these guys are pushing.

It also proves that a lot of the spectators are idiots. Mechanical devices fail, including tires. Getting that close to the cars is playing Russian Roulette, albeit with a very large cylinder.
