Where is the deepest/longest watersplash in the WRC?
Surley it is in Argentina but I might be wrong. :)

The longest one used to be in the Safari I think - officially around 20m but during the rally it stretched for hundreds of metres, even if it was only about 10cm deep.

Deepest maybe in Argentina - I remember about 2 years ago about 15 cars broke down in the same watersplash because the water went over the bonnet.

Was that the one Petter and Mikko got stuck in?

Maybe - I remember Petter retired on the same stage but not directly at the watersplash. Not sure about Mikko - a lot of PWRC cars got stuck.

Is the one at 3:54 the one?

Anyway, it is still a great video to watch. :)

Weston Park on the 1987 RAC Rally was surely a contender!
