Probably heard this before but here goes,
John was in a 500 kilometre road rally when he blew one of his tyres with 200 kilometres to go. He still managed to win the race even though he went 200 kilometres with a flat tyre. Since none of the other drivers experienced any problems how did he manage to win with a flat?

The tire that blew was his spare tire? Either that, or maybe there were no other drivers. Even though that would be a pretty not fun road rally.

The road rally was in a cold country, where the roads were icy. Therefore he did not need any tyres, simply the specialist spiked wheels to give him traction.

It was the last day of a 3 day event and the driver already had a huge lead. None of the others could catch up in time.

Two possibilities come to mind,

1. When the tyre burst he replaced it with the spare and carried the flat back to the finish.

2. As it was a rally, he would have a navigator. So he got him to put his weight on the opposite corner to the burst tyre thus allowing him to drive on 3 wheels.

BTW Seancarlin, where have you been at for the last eight months? I see you are still a ?'Newbie' do get typing. :wink:

He put the flat tire diagonally oposite of the drivers seat and placed all the other excess weight in the car on the other side of the flat tire. That way he sort drove in on three tires.

As it took one year and two pages to answer, perhaps it was, ?'simply too hard'. Do post another we can answer in 2006. Very Happy

Keep up to date Whim, the correct answer has already been given by a damn good rally driver. :wink:
