This video captures a hilarious yet nerve-wracking moment from the 2024 China Taklamakan International Rally on May 25.

During the high-speed event, the steering wheel of the No. 307 car from the Jidaoteam repeatedly falls off.

Amazingly, the driver attempts to hold it in place and continue racing, even as it keeps coming loose.

Captured in the footage, this bizarre incident poses a significant danger not just to the driver and navigator, but also to spectators standing along the track, who could have been struck if the steering wheel came off again at high speeds.

The annual rally traverses the Taklamakan Desert in Southwestern Xinjiang, Northwest China.

The desert is located within the Tarim Basin, bordered by the Kunlun Mountains to the south, the Pamir Mountains to the west, the Tian Shan range to the north, and the Gobi Desert to the east.
