Those of us who have played RBR will be familiar with the Mineshaft special stage in the Rally of Canberra.

Well, this is what happens in real life, when you get it WRONG!

That second one is ouchies.

So it is real?

First time i tried that stage, I ignored the warning signs and went over the top flat out, it didn't end well.

I didn't think the stage was real, either, until I searched for it on youtube a couple of months ago. Yowch!

Same, though on the ps2, so the crash wasn't as insane!

Stage is real but probably not real enough in the game, just same name and some parts have taken influence from the real one. Some Japanese and British stages are also named after real ones and only look similar.

The stages in RBR are heavily shortened versions of real-life stages. However the Mineshaft has been dropped as of 2008 due to safety (obviously!).

The second, and perhaps the third time for me, too.
