'Madness on Wheels; Rallying's Craziest Years...On BBC4 tonight at 8pm-9pm, In the 1980s, rallying was more popular than F1, but its unregulated mayhem using extremely powerful cars ended abruptly in 1986 after a series of horrific tragedies.

Pretty good stuff - those cars are just fantastic! Though you can see why it ended. I'd love to something similar again, albeit with crowd control and cars where you don't sit on the fuel tank. Maybe that's what WRC needs to get itself back out of its current doldrums...

How bizarre, I just posted my favourite video on youtube ever on bookface, then I see this thread. win-win in my book.

This is my fave.

 

[Josephiah]

Sweeeet! Also, in the BBC programme, how jaw-dropping were those shots of the cars driving full pelt with the crowds opening and closing around them?
