I Saw The First GIF A Long Time Ago

And while I was searching it to find a better version than the one I found, I discovered the original.

 

ADAC - Rally, Hessen - May 29, 1986

At 20:34 in Hessen, Germany, the Ford RS200 driven by Swiss driver, Marc Surer, ran wide on a fast right hander. It spun on the grassy verges of the road and hit a tree broadside near the engine compartment at a speed estimated to be around 200 km/h. The car sheered this tree in half and continued to slide over the grass until it it a larger tree just behind its b-column. The Ford exploded in a huge ball of fire and broke in two parts. Surer’s co-driver Michel Wyder was killed instantly. Surer was ejected from the car. He suffered multiple fractures, serious burns and other injuries.
