Default Pretty awesome rally vid

Reminds me of my commute to work...

LiveLeak.com - Porsche GT3 rally- Rally de Wallonie 2005

But seriously, that guy has some rediculously big bollocks. I almost shat myself watching it.

Dave Richards navigating for Ari there as well - very frightening.

Nope, Terry Harryman this time (can hear the Irish accent - especially when he says "Dear God !")

Fantastic car, great sound, seriously scary car control by Ari.

Jesus, unbelievable.

Rally has to be the most skillful form of racing there is... Makes F1 look positively tame.

Doesn't hold back after either, even without the puncture I wouldn't be that fast

At 1:42 you can see and hear Ari clip a wall with the front LHS corner just before the cattle grid and is SO close to then having the car going through the grid sideways.
250BHP or so, lightweight RWD car, damp roads : mighty brave co-driver !

I agree with that statement completely - both videos are awesome. I'm always amazed by the commitment drivers like these make to the corners - there is just no room for error anywhere.

Can't see the vid as I've disabled Flash (keeps crashing IE). 2005 ... is it Duval driving ? (he participated with a Porsche in 2005) If not, then it's probably Duez.

Allowing the GT3's was a brilliant decision

The ***** it must take to drive that fast. Even if I had the talent, which I don't, I'd end up crashing simply because of thinking so much about what would happen if it all went wrong

The first video is awesome, but what struck me, was just how damn good the camera mount is..... the cars bouncing along more than a bouncy thing on a bouncy day... but the camera's rock steady!!!

Awsome! What was that red light on the dash - wasnt a change up light.

Ari Vatanen clip is one of these YouTube clips that take an age to load for me Most play fine - but the slow ones are always late at night

Fantastic compelation. Quite a few high-speed crashes. I find it simply amazing how safe/secure the cars are..

Its the comms light I think, it lights up when the co-driver is speaking. Presumably so if the driver does not hear anything when the light is on, he knows he is missing out on pace notes.

Dear God I think the phrase used....by Mr Harryman ....No Sh#t

The Manta's were very entertaining back then, oh the sounds of good old induction....and then a lovely exhaust note as they sped off into the distance
