Thank goodness it did. The things drivers can do with rally cars is amazing. By far my favorite sport to watch. I'm sad that it didn't really catch on in the USA. The format is unlike anything that would sell commercially here.
- ekianjo 12y agoIt probably does not catch up there because you'd need a bunch of policemen to prevent spectators from being run over by cars losing control :)
- hengheng 12y agoIn the days of YouTube celebs and Twitch, I can see a new future for rally spectating.
- ifcho 12y agoActually, after the ban of the cars, the manufacturers looked for other races where they could use their monsters. They took them to Dakar, and to the famous Pikes Peak hillclimb race in the USA. Peugeot made a very good movie about it (although it is in a 405T16, which technically never raced group B, the car is basically a 205 T16 with another body shell) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UEuZG37gFdM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UEuZG37gFdM
- darklajid 12y agoI like the part at 3:30 where the driver has to drive with one hand to see anything.. Actually: Comparing that run to this one here [1] from the 'recent' past I'm even more impressed. Seems like the original video was awfully fast - and on a dirt road at that time? 1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y20CLumT2Sg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y20CLumT2Sg
