    WRC is truly incredible.

    Granted, the machines are half-to-3/4-million dollar cars, but still, the doors open/close many have power windows, the indicators work, etcetera.

    A car you could truly drive, daily, on the street, if you were hard-core enough.

    I'd like to give it a shot. I can see stoplight drags in the rain being a thrill, right at the rev-limit as the light is changing.

    @so I goes to the local bar, y'know, people: You can get a brand new Rally Spec'ed Citroen C4 or Ford Focus for about €120.000, they're not as insane as WRC spec cars but still wildly fun, dangerous, and perfectly road legal.

    God Damn it, you guys keep showing all this cool race footage you are going to make me want to build a Rally Car and head to the North Woods.

    Not that that is a bad thing, mind you.

    /LSPR is three weeks away, anyone going?

    @lilwillie hides autos in the attic: I will be at LSPR with several comrades. I should probably start scoping out alternate spectator locations.

    Something truly terrifying, flying road race cars. Aren't they supposed to stick to the ground?

    Awesome- Mirra rocking the rally STi. He's gonna' be pumping the pedals wanting to execute a Rockwalk when he'll find that the car won't do a LardYard and will only Tailwhip, which will make him say "bogus".


    Yeah, I've had a few, what's your point?

    Team O'Neill is a rally school. Winning a rally school's rally is a good thing. I'm glad he's doing it. Head's up, here comes the nay-saying...


    I like Dave Mirra. He's a good guy. But I'm not impressed until I see a list of his competition whom were driving similarly tuned cars or he does it in a beater beetle. Hats off if he restores a Lancia Delta Integrale.


    FTW!

    @dablackitalian: Little heart clicky for you! Thanks for sharing. I must have a Delta Integrale. A guy in my parents' town has a red one that I see from time to time. Wonder how hard it would be to import into WA state?

    Slightly off track, but my god, what is the margin in these energy drinks that enambles them to sponsor everything in motorsport?


    Between Monster and Red Bull I think just about everything that races with an engine is covered. Don't get me wrong, I am happy that good talent gets a seat because of this, but they must cost cents per serve to make if they have this kind of sponsorship margin...

    So badass.


    I want to race rally, just one, before I die.


    ...but knowing me, that would probably be the last thing I ever did before I died.
