I'm not a RG fanboy, but I do think it's inaccurate to characterize RG as a race driver who crashes a lot. I think the opposite is true. He does often break down and repair in desert races taking him out of contention (it happens when you design and build your own stuff pushing the limits). And he is still wicked fast when he wants to be. There are very few people on earth who can regularly out qualify RG offroad. How many people in history have won races in Indycar, Cup, IMSA, TransAm, and Off road?
