Default Flat out 2wd rally (vid)

If you are curious what 2wd rally cars look like driven flat out, the Finns have it figured out...

There's a few type R's in there, civics; going 110%!
Here's the channel:

These are'nt cheeseballs holding back for some stupid championship, or cruisng around in a subaru. These cats are going flat out for the sake of it!

Bad ***.

That hill is a nice turn. You can see the drivers dealing with the weight transfer to try to make the two turns as smooth as possible. That R over did that turn though, Good vid thanks.

my hats off to thos guys, I also love the Lotus Corteina and the Alfa GTA. Reminds me of the good old days of Rally racing in Armenia. When people would rally there Ladas and Volgas.

This is what I'm talking about.

that R in the snow clip was moving! that was a good vid. how much time is there between cars in these events? that just seems a little crazy to me to run out there and try to push a car out of a spot that the next car very well could end up, with me in between

Yeah it's great. That's rallying for you. The clock is still ticking and people are right there helping.

That hour long footage is great. I know he's been doing it for a long time and all but still, that cage gusset sitting rigth next to his head like that..
