Video: Rally spectators help a driver back on course

Sometimes spectators can pose a bit of a danger to rally drivers, but in this case, they came in as a great help.

We all know ourselves after the recent weather, that it can be pretty tough to drive on the snow, and it would be particularly difficult if you had to go hell for leather around a race course.

Perhaps then, it should come as little surprise to see that this driver has accidentally flipped his car over on the circuit in Visaginas, Lithuania thanks to the tricky conditions.

However, the spectators step in to lend him a hand, and flip his car over to help him back on course in the race.

Great to see them lending a helping hand, but as the security are desperately trying to point out, it's a pretty bad idea to be standing around on the track.
