The Chase - On-board with Toni Gardemeister as he follows Brice Tirabassi on SS11 Rallye de France - Tour de Corse

During the Tour de Corse there was one clip of on-board footage which was rather entertaining to watch.

It was a conversation between Toni Gardemeister and his co-driver Tomi Tuominen about Brice Tirabassi's driving. They had just been passed by Tirabassi on SS11, after having fuel pressure problems during, but got going again and set about chasing Tirabassi.

As they catch up with Tirabassi, Tuominen and Garde start to analyse his driving:

Tuominen: Let's see how Tirabassi drives...

Gardemeister: He drives so slow...
Tuominen: Yeah he does.
Tuominen: He use the brakes so much.
Gardemeister: We are getting some good video footage.
Gardemeister: Why does he drive so slow?
Tuominen: Haha
Tuominen: Take him off the street.
Gardemeister: Haha, some rallycross, rallycross!
