Surely you recall the hilarious video above from 2014. Samir Thapar, the rally car driver, terrifies his navigator Vivek Ponnusamy. We all got a laugh at Samir's obvious incompetence. Maybe you had an inkling that the audio was fake, but we could see with our eyes where the car was going. Well, the video is technically real, but like so many internet memes, there is a lot more to the story. See, the POV videos of the complete rally added up to about an hour of driving, but someone made a supercut of just the funniest lines. And that's only the beginning of the incident that rocked Indian rally car culture. Here's the complete story. There's a 70-second skippable ad at 2:40.
The fallout from a viral video had serious consequences for real people. You can get a bit more context at The Drive.
