Rally racing is good for a couple of things. Like crashes! Sooner or later a highly powered psychotic bit of kit powered by a meat bag who is high on fear and adrenaline is going to find the rock, or the ditch, or the trees. It happens…a motorsport based on absolutely unpredictable road conditions and beating the clock is going to have an accident or two. It happens, but it gets put into videos way too often. There’s only so many times you can watch a brick Volvo go dashing into the snow-filled trees before you go hunting for something else to watch, right?
Ok, like I said, rally racing is good for a couple of things…and one of the other ones is driving skills that just about defy belief. Those same unpredictable road conditions and high speeds can make just about any car look awesome in the right hands. Seriously, who would’ve thought that a Toyota Yaris would be cool in any light, but taking flight off of a jump sideways is a pretty solid look and that’s only just one particular clip in this compilation video. You think you can drive after fishtailing a wet right turn? Play that video and see if you are on the same level as these guys!
Awesome driving. Period. Great racing as well… but
Ugly looking, and sounding race cars…
