Quote #23

(Murray, commentating on rallycross from Lydden, describes how a BMW driver has cut holes in his windscreen so that his visibility is improved in all the muck...)Looks through a completely clean windscreen, and that's of course the big advantage of being in front. (as he is doing so, the car crashes heavily into an earth bank...) And that's the big DISADVANTAGE of getting your line wrong!
