Whether or not the car is 'traditional', the course sure is.

That driver must have balls the size of watermelons.

 

Awesome.

 

Ari Vatenen...In the Peugeot....Awesome

 

Finns, fastest nation on earth...

 

Can you Say, Steer with the throttle? Those Peugeot and Audi cars od that era in the Rally Class and stuff are completely Friggin insane.

much respect for those drivers. next closest thing i think would be Indy/IRL F1.... unbelievable.

 

Ari in '88 and Robby Unser in '89.

Big cojones for sure....I damn near shit myself just watching the film.
Six foot washouts, racing uphill into the sun on a 180* turnback.
I saw the back tire close to having space under it a few times.
"Guardrails....we don't need no stinkin' guardrails"

Now, when are one of you punks going to do it in your A modified

 

Doesn't Ari still own the track record with that run? I know he did but, hey records fall.

 

And using one hand to block the sun from your eyes without letting up on the throttle...FUCK!

 

Yeah, I saw that, too. I get pissy about just changing lanes when I can't see... that guy flies around a corner sprint car style - with a huge dropoff on one side. I'm just a fuckin' piker!
