    RIP Timo Makinen

    One of the flying Finn's has died.

    Makinen drove half of the fearsome Ouninpohja stage (Finland's 1000 Lakes Rally) with the bonnet of his Mini Cooper up after the retaining straps failed. "We did about 12 of the 25 kilometres like that," said Makinen. "I was third fastest, even though I could hardly see where I was going - the drag was terrible too. "I kept trying to put my head out of the window, but the crash helmet was too big! I threw the car sideways this way and the other to try and get a view from the side windows."
