Man, that was just awesome! Where'd you find this video? I like the car maybe a third of the way through that was just mangled, with the doors flying open as it drives, and the guy just kept on driving. I drive pretty nuts sometimes on games, it's pretty messed up they duplicate my techniques in real life and roll so violently.

That is just sweet! I would love to be able to drive like that, and have access to a car like that. Those guys are just nuts man. They drive on the edge the entire time. The mountain races like Pike's Peak are crazy. One wrong move and over the edge you go, one way trip to the bottom. The Bondurant driving school is just 10 minutes from my house. I want to enroll in their High Performance Driving class. It's not rally driving, but it would be fun as he**. Now if I could only come up with $2500 then I would be set. Maybe for Christmas?

They have more courage than sense, and luckily more skill than courage, 120M/H along twisty narrow country lanes with massive drops if you get it wrong, fog, snow, ice, mud and spectators far too close.
Must be terrific fun.

I drive like that on the weekends..... well maybe not..... I wish i did tho, i've always loved watching rally, n love rally games. Gotta love the part in that clip where a car rolls off the edge, and then so does another car at exactly the same part hehe.....

Looks like my trip down to the local supermarket 
That should be revolutionised by 'it' 
Makes you think twice about going for a "spin"  | |

bba - that video is total mayhem!
the one scene where the guy jumps over the fence as the car rolls looks like a supermario move - I'll swear he jumps sideways by 3 meters 
There's something pretty scary on here too, but I'm too tired to find the exact link - "close shave" or something similar http://www.punchbaby.com
enjoy

Cruez,
After some "stages" the teams have a limited time to do repairs, they cannot replace the whole car, so the drivers have to be a bit carefull. The time taken between stages is also monitored, they cannot break the speed limit, must be street legal, and they cant have extra time to fix the car.
