The guy had a flawless plan

"I am going to go from here to there as fast as I can and try not to fuck up."

 :clap:

And it worked ... but then

"No one has ever done anything like this and never will ... it is stupid."  :hehehe

God Bless testosterone!

We dont have much of a Rally scene in the US. Its some damn good racing when you can catch it on TV but I haven been able to find any current WRC coverage in years. Even then they would try to jam a 2 day event into a 30 minute show. Occasionally I'll hit youtube and catch a little. The the main networks cant see the fan base so it ends up on cable. Most of the cars that run WRC we dont even get here so next to no manufacture advertising dollars. Every couple years the WRC will cut a deal on their feed. When they get about a year into it the WRC tries to Jack the hell up out of the license fees so it gets dropped because the small sports channels cant afford to pay it with the advertisers they have.  :(

Around here the big things are Rednecks running in circles in fat "stock cars" (that are not anything even close to a real production car) at 200mph. If it rains.... they stop.  :dunno2: Great crashes that usually take out about 5 or 6 cars in one shot but otherwise boring. Turn left.....Turn left...Go straight for a 1/4 mile....Turn left...turn left for 300-500 miles.

 Wish we could get more FIA feeds.

Hell most people here probably didn't know they race TRUCKS over there.

Like you say Grim, BORE-ING.  I'd like to see more Grand Prix, or racing on tracks that are nice and long, have overpasses and turns of varying radii.

The truck racing is kewl. Kinda like Euro NASCAR, but on a track that has a right turn or two.

In Europe they have Touring car championship. http://www.fiawtcc.com/ (http://www.fiawtcc.com/) Those are cars that rolled off the assembly line then modified so they are more of a Stock car then what they race here and on predominantly on road courses. They actually had a race in the US this year.

My uncle got me a video of that when I was a kid. Super annoying for my parents.
