    Rally car drivers are God's

    Nobody can watch them and fail to be impressed with their complete car control that you and I can only dream of.

    Sit back, pop a beer and be prepared to worship at the alter.

    While Rally drivers pull off some of the most amazing feats of car control... they definitely have some of the most outstanding crashes. But thats inevitable when your car is constantly pushing its limits, and then some.

    As for the video... what a bunch of hacks.

    I used to watch WRC all the time along with F1... I know, the polar opposites of auto racing.

    Loved the Peugeot 206.

    Why hasn't anyone mentioned Henri Toivonen yet?
    "To exist in this vast universe for a speck of time is the great gift of life. Our tiny sliver of time is our gift of life. It is our only life. The universe will go on, indifferent to our brief existence, but while we are here we touch not just part of that vastness, but also the lives around us. Life is the gift each of us has been given. Each life is our own and no one else's. It is precious beyond all counting. It is the greatest value we have. Cherish it for what it truly is."

    I love watching F1 racing, but this is nuts.. I could not keep up with the driver. I have to say, that this would scare the hell out of me if I was in the car.

    ...I always answer, when someone says about it's nutty stuff, that crazy it is not; they're just driving against the clock not each other on stage. You get used to the three_day_qualifying as a rally driver

    I love watching rally racing. Maybe one day when I have the money I might pick up an E30 and strip it and make it a rally/track car . WRC guys are The best drivers in the world, aside from maybe DTM/GT race car drivers, bar none.

    It takes many wrecked cars before you are a good rally driver. In most other racing the drivers don't have the luxury of crashing and learning from crashing.

    Hahahaha that was hilairous on the first clip. The other clips, all I can say is wow. I don't know what's harder, navigator or driver. Seems like a driver is blind without the navigator calling out upcoming turns.
    I want your HD 5970s and HD 5970 waterblocks.

    Whatta
    Rally drivers don't have the luxury of the safety zones to go off (like for example race track).

    PS: Petter Solberg is just amazing......
