This does not count, there isn't enough bystanders in the road.

it's a shame there are not more videos from the pre-group B cars.. back when the rear wheel drive sports cars were the rally champs.. then I would bet you would see a LOT of heavy drifting

I did a search of "E30 Rally" on Youtube and was pleasantly rewarded. Both my eyes and my ears enjoyed it!

I am talking further back than that.. I want to see the Might Stratos at work... and as I own one.. the Fiat/Abarth 124

In reply to mad_machine:

still my favorite rally video....Patrick Snijers in the e30 M3 Manx Rally. So epic, and the commentating is excellent.

at the 2:15 mark....4 wheel lockup, 180* drift, laying down two massive tracks from the rear wheels...

but the whole vide is great.

I love the Vatanen clip above^^. Can't help but watch that one with a big smile on my face each time, and then the "dear god" from the Navigator when he gets it a bit loose about 1/2 way through

70s rallying

turn the sound off.. the music does not add to it.. but this is the kind of rallying I am talking about. Imagin the big ones the Stratos driver has for racing on snow/ice

not long after he asks/says something about a "bit of a puncture" is that like almost pregnant?

I think he also hit that bridge/guardrail right before the car got squirelly

Yeah he did... just barely brushed it, caused the puncture. What I can't get over is how little that puncture slowed him down.

I think the "Dear God" is for what the navigator was pretty sure they were GOING TO hit before the driver sorted it out and shot through that gate.

I think rally is flat out amazing and I would love to blast through a bunch of stages, but that one had me saying, "NOPE NOPE NOPE."

It IS amazing and yeah.. some stages are more fun than others. The fast narrow stuff I don't like so much. Tight twisty downhill, yeah baby....
