I’ve just jumped a rallycross car, and it’s taken me back to my childhood. Back to when I used to watch The Dukes of Hazzard (or The Duke Boys, as we called it in Germany) and their General Lee ’69 Dodge Charger doing insane jumps. I suddenly feel free, light, and weirdly enough, safe. That last bit is down to the fact that the double wishbone suspension with 250mm of travel, on my Titans RX Pantera RX6 is working very nicely. With each lap, and each jump, I’m getting more and more confident, and feeling encouraged to fly higher and further. It didn’t start out like that though…
