Awesome WRC video

[cvec7]

I know there has to be some WRC fans here so I figured I'd post this up for ya. This has to be one the best WRC videos I've ever seen.

Great video.. Those guys have some serious balls driving like that, in the snow none the less....

Yeah, I've always been a fan of WRC. Too bad speed channel only shows it at like 2 in the morning...

IMB, next time I'll warn of explicit lyrics if I ever post a video with them again, the thought never crossed my mind; sorry, and thank you.

The way they whip around 180's on the street is awesome. If you like off road, check these vids out. Hit the Videos button, then go to the bottom one, the BIDT Terribles Town 250 first:

Yea, and all those cars are AWD too, so it's not like it's as easy as drifting or anything... After watching that video for about 10 times, I decided to try to drive kinda like they do on this really curvy road I take home....needless to say, the FWD PT Cruiser doesn't have any power to even give you even a slight thrill... :LoL:

P.S. Watching that video you suggested now...


Also, the impression I'm getting is that you guys have either never seen WRC before or even heard of it... (correct me if I'm wrong) and it makes me so mad because not even speed channel shows WRC anymore, or even DAKAR!!!!! Those are the most extreme forms of racing (not including baja) and it's a shame the TV networks dont show them...I mean, there's a good 10 crashes at least per WRC rally...who the hell doesn't like watching crashes??!?!?!


EDIT: That video is awesome scott. I have always loved baja. But WRC is still my favorite....baja is a very close seccond however... I've always wanted to get a Ranger and turn it into a mild baja truck that would still suffice as a daily driver...But currently I'm lookin for something AWD that I can afford....maybe a Evo V or something...

The Ford, Opel, and Subaru are my fav WRC cars.

I loved the scene where the co pilot was shielding his face with the course stats. And when the Citroen was launched in the air.

Takes some mighty big brass ones to drive that fast on those tight ass mountain roads.

Cvec, on almost all those roads you see the WRC cars kinda "drifting" around the corners, they are typically dirt or gravel roads. They would not be able to do that on paved roads. If you took your AWD onto a country dirt road (as underpowered as it may be) you could still get it to slide around the corner if you knew what you were doing.

As for the snow, I used to have a 84' 300ZX turbo and any time it snowed I turned the city into my personal rally course. Especially at night when noone else was on the roads. I could get from one side of the city to the other (about 8 miles) in about 12 min in the snow with no more than 1-2 blocks of straight driving and only having good grip about 20% of the time. I drifted around everything. Only got caught twice! hehe

Huh? I failed to see the opel WRC....maybe you meant the mitsubishi Evo...the Evo rally car looks very much like an opel. Very different from the production Evo you can pick-up at your dealer..

Evo:

Opel WRC which may make a debut in 2007:

Opel Race car: (But NOT WRC)

I'm also not quite sure where you got the impression that I didn't know you couldn't really drift an AWD car on-road....I never said they drifted on-road...I was saying that since they're AWD, it's not the easiest to whip the car around and do a 180 on the pavement...

hmmm my bad on the Opel, It sure looked like an Opel.

WRC Rocks!!

Definately (IMO) the coolest racing going!

I too am bummed that the Speed Channel dropped it.

I had the WRC game for my PS2....I was major ate up by that game!!!!!!!!!!

Proud to say I was The WRC Champion of my basement

After watching that, I need to get the game back from my bro.

Awesome vid...too bad they ruined it with the gangsta trash music!!!!!!!!!!

I kinda agree with you on the music, I'm not much for that music either, but I think it really works well with that video...
