Why? Cuz there's no power steering and his arms got tired. I assume it's the physicality of the whole thing that gets them off...no pun intended.

With this kind of skill used just in an exhibition, imagine what they could do on a real track! Rally has always been a European pursuit, which is why they dominate the population of drivers, but with so many Japanese-built cars making their mark (hell, Subaru put WRC on the map, period!) why doesn't anyone field a car straight from Japan?
