Successful comeback for Sainz in WRC car

HUGE!!! Check out videos after the jump. Watch how fast he goes down this tight a** road with cars and people on the sides.. INSANE!

Volkswagen factory driver Carlos Sainz won the Shalymar Rally in Spain together with co-driver Luis Moya. The recently crowned FIA Cross Country Rally World Cup winner drove a Skoda Fabia WRC on the tarmac rally, recorded the fastest time on all twelve stages and crossed the line almost five-and-a-half minutes ahead of the second placed competitor.

The comeback in a WRC Car – he contested his last World Championship round in Greece in 2005 – was something very special: The 1980 Rally Shalymar was the first ever rally event for ‘El Matador’. Carlos Sainz was Rally World Champion in 1990 and 1992 and won a total of 26 WRC rounds.

On 5 January 2008 Carlos Sainz starts the Dakar Rally together with co-driver Michel Périn for the third time in a Volkswagen Race Touareg.”
