David and Goliath battle it out in Finland.

IN AN era of sanitised race tracks with eons of run-off, and processional racing, Dakar and the WRC are two bastions of a time when motorsport was dangerous, exciting, and fast.

In the WRC you have arguably the most skilled drivers in the world, pushing to the absolute limit with zero margin of error. One centimetre off-line could result in a heap of twisted metal wrapped around a tree. WRC cars are small, based on hatches like the Volkswagen Polo, and pack a serious punch from their 1.6-litre turbo engines.

So when these two worlds collide, on the most fearsome stage of the WRC’s fastest rally no less, the action is awe-inspiring.

Watch as the towering beast that is the Kamaz hunts down the diminutive Polo through the Finnish forest.

While the site of WRC cars flying through the air is nothing new, watching a 9-tonne truck soar with all four wheels off the deck is incredible.

In the clip, the pair launch themselves over the stages most famous jump (one of countless which line the stage) near an iconic yellow house. The record distance leap off this jump is 57-metres set by Markko Martin in 2003. Phwoar!
