Motorsport is dangerous, it says it on the back of every ticket. This photographer got a taste of just how dangerous when Volkswagen WRC star Jari-Matti Latvala lost control of his Polo R and ran the poor guy down when trying to rejoin the rally.
Failing to stop to check on the photographer’s condition cost Latvala and his co-driver at €5000 fine. The duo claimed they didn’t see him but the WRC were having none of it.
