Seize the moment, seize the day… and now seize the steering hub.
A rally driver experienced a technological malfunction at the wheel of his car while in a rally stage. Nothing much, his steering wheel unscrewed itself right when he was at a crucial turn. Now for those of you who follow racing and know about the nitty-gritty of rally car cockpits will know that this is probably one of the moments where you are allowed to freak out.
A normal person in this instance would prefer to stop his/her car to the side and await assistance. But, our driver kept his cool, used his presence of mind and put his hands to work at the next best thing he could use to steer his car -the steering hub. After a little bit of effort he was back on the track and that too without breaking a sweat. It’s business as usual for the duo.
Jalopnik translated the conversation that took place in the cockpit at that time.
Co-Driver: "What's wrong?"
Driver: "Dammit, I won't be able to tighten it back on right now."
Watch the video below to know how the drama unfolded.
