I don't know if you canadians see WRC rally there but its something else. Guys changing shockabsorbers and tires during stages, nothing like those Formula 1 robots.

They give some great comments time to time, but this one has to be the greatest, by one hell of a driver Marcus Grönholm:

I think it's one of the most dangerous sport ever

And they don't quit that easily

I have no point in this thread but i just thought that i should share the rally gospel. Drunk.

That is one crazy-ass sport. Whats wrong with the guy in the last clip? Sounds like he's dying.

Man I love rally sports... Dakar Rally, WRC, the works. There are some awesome trails along Highway 40 for this kind of stuff. I drive a '90 Subaru Legacy and it just wants to be bagged on the dirt roads

His back was damaged in that jump. It hurts like hell, and makes speaking very hard. Grönholm made best time in that stage even without his co-driver. He's basically shouting to Timo that should we stop and where is it hurting.

WRC sucks now that so many of the traditional big builders are gone. It's just like 3 teams and a bunch of private entries.

Yeah, but the best drivers are still there. I admit that its nothing like the 1980 when the had those insane supercars like lancia delta integrale, audi quattro and Peugeot 405 T16

The rear spoiler on that thing is insane. I mean it's not as big as the spoilers I see on civics at the mall, but it's still pretty close.

My brother and I saw the Propecia World Rally Championships in New Zealand last November. It was absolutely insane....As a spectator, you can go around the course and find some beautiful viewpoints to get some camera shots and short videos....I'll try and post some pics or video later today....I've got totally hooked on the sport! This was actually one of the first races that Valentino Rossi (of Motorbike fame) was racing in, so it was a special treat.
