Great Moments in Motorsports: Adventures in throttle cable replacement

This picture speaks for itself but you gotta see the video
From our friends at the Axis of Oversteer comes a story of determination, fortitude, and a healthy dose of Darwinian law.
With less than a mile left in a stage of the Ralley de Serrians in France, the throttle cable in our hero's Renault finally gives up the ghost. Does he give up? No! Does the team try to push their way to the finish? Hell no! The driver tells his co-pilot to man the wheel while he hops into the engine bay, pulls the hood over himself and then manually controls the throttle cable bracket to a heroic finish. The picture above speaks for itself, but the video after the jump tells the whole tale.

Awesome EPIC WIN; all the action starts at 1m:40s
2:30 - Co-pilot takes a few extra seconds to double check his restraints LOL & then can hardly see the road for the rest of the clip.
I know the original driver's got his protective race gear on; but, I'd like to know how he dealt with the engine heat for the latter 2 minutes...
