Yeah, it didn't seem that fast overall when normal John Deer tractors go 100 on the highway, and this was only 130.

I think they've missed something about the record... Fastest Finnish made tractor driven by an ex rally driver on snow??? The linked article doesn't help at all, it's only more marketing.

The comments unkindly suggested that the broken driveshaft is normal for these machines

I saw one or two sections I might have been willing to drive as fast as 60km/h... maybe I'm not cut out to be a rally driver.

In both cases the car is a monster Peugeot driven by a top rally driver, and each film has its own merits. What you can't compare is the times, 8m13.878s on bitumen vs 10m47.77 on dirt/gravel... except to say that each was really quick It certainly looked faster 25 years ago!

Vatanen has some interesting things to say about the earlier car, here - http://www.arivatanenrally.com/en/cars/peugeot-405-t16-pikes-peak.html

Is it sad that it still annoys me that he doesn't answer his phone even when he's rushing to help the accident victim record the aftermath?
Couldn't help myself.

That's the car's "Please proceed to the highlighted route" GPS alarm.

All rally drivers ride like this. There is no exceptional skill here that you don't see in rally; except for the monkey; he was good!

Just imagine you're a spectator on the side and Paddy in his cunt-mobile passes by. I bet you can hear his cursing over the engine.

Holy shit @3:43, haven't seen that one yet. Out of curiosity, what the hell is wrong with people who crowd around the actual track? You'd have to be crazy to be a rally driver, but you'd have to be INSANE to be a spectator at such a close proximity. I'm specifically talking about the crowd at 0:50.
Crouds like that don't exist any more in rallies. Since the accidents in the '80s standing near the road is illegal and marshals usually make sure the rule is enforced.
I've heard a rally driver from the '80s say in an interview that the only way he could drive with all the human walls was to imagine they are actual concrete walls. The only problem was that hitting such a wall made shit very real, very fast.

And this, my friends, is why rally drivers are the best in the world.

Whatever website is hosting this video, they never load for me.

Same problem here when I try to watch it on Firefox. I switch over to Opera or Chrome for Break videos, and then they work fine. I believe it's the pre-roll commercial that fucks things up on Firefox, for whatever reason. I guess.

Same guys from this one?
