Colin’s Crest is a fitting tribute to the late Colin McRae as well as one of the most spectacular jumps on the WRC calendar and a highlight of Rally Sweden.
No one had ever jumped more than 40 metres before, with Ken Block holding the previous record at 37 metres. Then along came the reigning WRC Champion, Sébastien Ogier, who during this year’s event, smashed the record with a huge 41-metre jump, that’s over 134 feet!
This video from Volkswagen, captures Sébastien Ogier’s unbelievable jump.
