Evo Driven by Jeremy Foley Jumps Off Cliff at Pikes Peak

The Pikes Peaks International Hill Climb might have offered participants its first tarmac season, but this doesn’t mean that the course is less dangerous, as proven by the adjacent video, which shows us how Jeremy Foley’s Evo flew off a cliff.
Folley entered a high speed corner situated in the proximity of Mile 16 carrying... too much speed, with his Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution 8 flying straight off the road and down the mountain. If our count is correct, the Evo rolled seven times before coming to the stop, loosing multiple body panels and mechanical parts in the process.

We’ve saved the best part of the news for last: according to a post on the Evolutionm.net forums, both Foley and his co-driver, Yuti escaped the mega-crash with no broken bones. However, Yuri did suffer what it believed to be a shoulder dislocation.

Before we end this piece of news, we have to tell you that the race was won by drift star Rhys Millen, who beat his closest rival by under two hundredths of a second.
