Take a really cool rally racing and take away all the good parts such as SPEED by putting fucking slalom traffic cones in the middle of straightaways!
They might as well put speed bumps or school-crossing signs there.

Bunch of conformists, aren't they ...>> ^jimnms:

man I love rally racing...why anybody would watch NASCAR is a mystery to me.

Because they go really fast, and then they turn left!

Every time I see footage of a rally race it boggles my mind that so many people idiots just casually stand next to the race track while a huge mass of unpredictable metal is speeding towards them.


Agreed. I would stand to the side of the track near the apex of the jump, not where the cars are landing and bouncing around. Or the worst lunatics, standing around a tough corner. They're just begging to be mown down.

Clearly you haven't watched much rally racing. Female co-drivers are quite common.

the fairer sex does not have the same chemical constitution that predisposes some men towards aggressive driving.

Rally Racing is the coolest racing ever.

Unfortunately here in the US all you hear is 'Nascar!' Boring ass nascar...

Was there a rally race going on that included publicly-available roads that were not blocked off? Is this some extremely amateur event or something?


It's not a publically availably road that isn't blocked off. The roads ARE blocked off. The people in the way are other drivers, who set off at timed intervals as stated above me by sir maxx of mad.

Nope, rallies are timed events, they set off at timed intervals, some competitors are much faster and have to overtake as they catch up the ones that left first.


*NSFW language

Rally Race? Oh for crying out loud, that's my morning commute.

Rally racing is the one sport where the spectators are arguably crazier and at greater risk for injury than the participants.

Hey, that is rally racing; the don't have crashes, just a bit of a moment here and there and the odd incident.

Awesome footage.

Yeah...this is a dupe...

Here is the first part: http://www.videosift.com/video/Lucky-Rally-Race-Spectator

But I have seen the whole thing. I remember in particular because of the skateboarder and the bus.
