    I would have to vote for one of the cow smashing wrecks as most "spectacular" or the more terrifying plunging off a cliff video from somewhere in South America from quite a few years ago (can't remember the actual rally)...

    @MooseDesign: there was one i remember that involved a car doing a barrel roll down the road toward a spectator, then somehow flipping into the air OVER the guy.

    While I'm happy to see WRC returning to the US broadcasts, there's just one thing that's got me puzzled:

    "We can't wait to see it in full, glorious hi-def."

    I'm 99.9999% sure that this is all just upscaled SD footage - so it will be bigger, but not really better. Still WRC showing up on your TV without having to jump through any hoops, but raving about it being in HD seems like a real stretch.

    There are few things we can watch in life that show a more clear demonstration of having to totally push the limits and having to perform right on the ragged edge of physics to be successful than WRC.

    I get an adrenaline rush just watching these on that 5 inch video box, and would probably instantly wet myself if I was riding in the passenger seat of one of these things at full clip.

    These drivers are tremendously talented.

    Although, clearly, they can't avoid the occasional screw up.

    More power to them. This is a wonderful sport.

    How many spectators are killed each year at these races? That looks scarier to watch than to participate. None of the audience appear to be wearing full roll cages or helmets. Unless I am missing something in pic 6.

    @Goes Like Stink: Well, fortunately, very few. A combination of common sense, self preservation, and the marshals all help to keep things safe. And if the crowd is putting themselves in harms way, the organizers will usually cancel the stage.

    For really crazy spectators, you should watch some old Group B footage.

    After reading about the development of the 917 in "Unfair Advantage", I'll have to go with Can-Am. Mark Donahue convinced the Porsche powertrain engineers that he needed enough power to break the wheels loose on the long straights.

    I love Group B, but Can-Am was a big part of how I first experienced motorsport. I can still hear that roar..and the names..McLaren, Hulme, Donahue, Revson, Gurney, Surtees, Stewart..and so on. Here's some photos of back in the day
