When Jeroen Slaghekke suffered an electrical problem with his Formula Renault steering wheel it was looking like he’d have to make a pitstop and sacrifice his 6th place. Never fear, Jeroen had a cunning plan. On the next straight he took off his own steering wheel and replaced it. Ah, the old ‘off and on’ trick, never fails!
Click below to see an onboard video of this act of bravery, that so was so close to being pure stupidity.
Watch at 0.11 for the racing car equivalent of Control, Alt and Delete.

That wasn’t close to stupidity. It was genius!
The end of the straight was too far and his car only got in the middle of the track, not even close to getting off.
Congrats, Jeroen!
