congrats @Dodi Syahdar

Especially with only 2 wheels on the ground and the car remains in equilibrium with driver and passenger inside. Never seen a sight like this in my life. Its either 4 wheels on the ground or 4 wheels pointing sideways or the sky. I have only seen in movies cars being driven on 2 wheels.

Its not everyday I get to take pictures like this. The car even though touching the ground only on 2 wheels while 2 wheels are in the air was stable through out the recovery process. The driver and passenger was safe. It was breath stopping watching attaching the tow rope to the underside of the car while the car was suspended in this position. Thanks to God all turned out well. Great lesson in recovery. What mattered most was keeping a level head and not panicking. With Richard @Wrangeld directing the recovery I knew it will be uneventful and will succeed. I witnessed the finest minutes of recovery in this incident. What Richard mentioned as the reason is true. The car lost its momentum and the driver tried to fight gravity. Even though at a precarious angle the Y62 didn't roll over but stood tall with his head high. What started off as an uneventful IM drive with 3 pop out within half an hour of start of the drive turned out very eventful towards the middle and end. This reminds us of our instructions given to us right from our Absolute Newbie days. NEVER FIGHT GRAVITY. IF YOU LOST YOUR MOMENTUM COME DOWN IMMEDIATELY. DON"T GET DISTRACTED WHATEVER HAPPENS INSIDE THE CAR.

@Wadepat2, the Y62 was slidesloping and ended up like this. The recovery was done at the expert instructions of Richard @Wrangeld which made the car back on its four wheels and drive away without a scratch. The team executed all of Richard's instructions without a hitch and recovery was done very smoothly. The 1st thing when you face a situation like this is level headiness and calm composure which the Marshal & the team displayed at all points. 2nd is the correct technique and using the tools at our disposal required after assessing the situation. 100 marks to all of us for this. The Y62 was winched to the side where it was lifted and eased back on its 4 wheels. After that normal recovery procedures like shovelling, left right steering, blip blip acceleration was employed and the car safely came to flat ground. At the end nobody was hurt, car was recovered without a scratch and we continued our drive. Luckily for all of us the angle of incline didn't cross the threshold of center of gravity and made the car tip over. Kudos to the driver for remaining calm in a precarious position of 45 degree angle tilted to 1 side and holding his position without panicking and not trying something on his own and worsen the situation. I suspect he even breathed carefully without any movement so as not to upset the balance. To tell you the truth I have never seen a car in this position and recovering it without a scratch in less than 15 to 20 min. No mishaps happened and nobody was hurt as GOD ALMIGHTY watched over us. Big thanks to @Wrangeld for his experience, @varunmehndiratta, @Islam Soliman & @Francois Germishuys for their ground support and @Watteau for his excellent handling of the winch. All other team members respected Richard's instructions and watched from their cars considering COVID 19 restrictions. Anymore technical explanations our more expert colleagues will give.
