The Worst Time Ever To Lose Your Car's Hood Is In The Air
The Worst Time Ever To Lose Your Car's Hood Is In The Air-October 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:11:25

I don’t think “lose hood over crest” was in the notes, you guys.

Rally Sweden has the most infamous long jump in all of rallying—Colin’s Crest—and over this past weekend, driver had the nightmare experience of not being able to see where she was going to land thanks to a hood failure.

Cook was running in the WRC 3 class over the weekend, but on Stage 2 of the event. Nevertheless, she drove on, only to have her mended front end fail spectacularly later during the rally.

The hood came loose while airborne after Colin’s Crest, sending her light pod flapping in the wind and blocking the front windshield of the car.

Colin’s Crest has an for which driver jumps the farthest on it, so it’s no joke. Cook pushed on through it anyway, but ultimately ended up due to a technicality over a replacement seat bracket that wasn’t homologated with her car. (Boo!)

Cook also lost her bumper before Colin’s Crest, and as with Mads Østberg’s , a fan found it and returned it to her.

Sweden has the best fans, man.
