What do you do when your throttle cable snaps and your car dies just a short distance from the end of the stage in your rally car race? You climb under the hood and operate it manually while your navigator steers. I don't see what the big deal is; I used to drive to work this way all the time. By myself. It happened at the Rallye de Serrians in France, the car is a Renault, and the driver's nuts got very toasty at the end, and that's all I know. There's also some mention in the post about rev limiter abuse ... no idea what that means. Those wacky french. Skip ahead to the 2:00 mark in the video below for the silliness.
