Rally drivers are the best there is - crazy turns, widely varying surfaces, run in all conditions at extreme speeds - WOW. I wonder how the navigator keeps his breakfast down. I would be looking for the barf bag about 2 minutes into the run on that video.

I've often wondered that too: maybe horse-sized Dramamine doses?
It's a shame that WRC is off the Speed schedule; guess they had too much demand for reruns of Pinks.
Have a good one,
Mike

[QUOTE=Falcon]Here are a couple of links to some Group B video:
Neat links, thanks for sharing. Besides the obvious skills of the drivers and the cast iron stomachs of the navigators, the spectators disregard for life(theirs) has always impressed me about the sport of rallying. I have never heard of any serious loss of life from car/spectator accident, but the way they crowd the course and the locations they stand in scare the $#$^%^ out of me.
The Pikes Peak video is awesome. I have dirven that road several times. Any driver that attacks the course at racing speeds doesn't need a chair to sit down. He can take a seat on his cahoonas. Runoff room is measured in thousands of feet-straight down. No guard rails and at higher elevations not even any trees to stop you.
