Most embarrassing motorsport moment:
Spinning and becoming beached on a post in the spectator area of the Forties special stage during the 2009 Rally of SA - it took for a pack of spectators to run over and push us off WRC style!
Or crashing into and knocking over a 15" steel Armco barrier in front of 6000 people during the Angaston Super Special Stage in 2007. The car was fine but the stage was stopped while a forklift was brought in to resurrect the barrier.
