To finish first, you must first be Finnish.

Once you begin looking around at the forms of racing the country has, you begin to learn why sayings such as this have worked their way into motor racing culture. Though all the drivers in this crash compilation are from different countries (the WRC - who uploaded this video - is an international rally championship), the Finns show you just how difficult they make their rally courses with flat-out jumps and high-speed sections that, inevitably, lead to spectacular wrecks when it all goes wrong.

Nobody was injured in any of the crashes that are in this video so if you have a thought to spare, save it for the mechanics that all had their work cut out for them when (if) these cars returned to the shop.
