Oh yes he did!It’s just so implausible. But having a deeper look. That article is from 2021. If you google for it the earlier photos seem to be on Facebook and are titled “WRC Paraguay” That’s a new one!!?? Where as looking for him with that number in a Corolla comes back as the Trans Chaco and there’s no mention of him in that event doing that. In fact there’s no photos at all of “that incident” until about 8 years after the rally.
By “doing that” I meant theres no mention of him in that event jumping it with no tyres like in the pic.Oh yes he did!

My first Alfa was a Sud Sprint, what a car, bought it brand new, navy blue with tan interior. But it rusted badly so I traded it in for the GTV. I still have dreams of buying another Sprint, a very much under estimated car.My heart ached whenever I saw/heard one, but could never aspire to one.
So I settled for a Sprint Veloce.
I loved it to bits, literally, in the end a mound of rust on the drive with a screaming engine.
Ahhhh, the overrun rasp, the torque oversteer (only boot it on right hand bends) and she could hear me coming a mile away.
