Driver goes off the course and manages to avoid park cars, and that's not the most surprising part

You don't see this every day.

At the World Rally Championship in Mexico, Kris Meeke had a 40-second lead on the field when, all of a sudden, his car veered off course, went through the bushes and into a car park. His team was a bit, well,  stunned.

 

The view from the inside is spectacular.

Amazingly, he simply drove around some cars, didn't hit anyone, and made it back on to the course - and still won by 13.8 seconds over M-Sports Sebastien Ogier.

No surprise, but the finish left lots of people in awe.
