This one is incredible. Check out the other videos by the same account; it's like they gave Top Gear's production department a car and some plane tickets and said "Go have fun!"

This is my favourite of the other videos, a Viper round Detroit.

Corvette lovers r just pussies cuz the vette gets its rear end kicked every year by the viper and thats why the vette is so cheap if they raise the price i bet more vipers will sell

I think the point is Z3n is a space cowboy on the edge of a frontier unknown to man, he's out there pushing the limits, trail braking into the abyss. Finding out where the edge of the razor is, turning to face the darkness and revving his 690 into it's vast gaze. You gotta live this to learn it bro.

Holy poo poo! The guy who gets thrown completely out of the car at 1:50 cracked me up, but when the convertible showed up, I was afraid they were all about to get smeared across the road. Awesome video.

Yeah, I got to that point in the video an almost had to look away - I was sure that they were going to be pancaked underneath a smoldering pile of German steel.

Remember kids, when lapping the Green Hell, it is advisable to at least wear your seatbelt, and, failing that, LOCK your loving door.

Leave it to Brak

I remember watching one of the events a while back of the Irish road racing series.

It was absolutley bucketing down with rain and they were still going flat out. One dude excelled in it though and had a lead of something like 30 seconds ahead of second place and didn't let up through the whole race. Some of the best racing that I've seen.

Big balls of steel.

Fa sho. It was $250 new at a local shop. You can get a nicer one with better suspension for $300 shipped to your door, just check ebay. I haven't had any other trouble with the police, that guy was just bored I guess. He patrols the suburbs, so its understandable

"African Turbo" shot during the 1982 Dakar Rally is one of my favorite automobile racing videos, with a Renault R20 Turbo battling competitors (such as a Lada Niva) and local hazards in North Africa. It's a classic of guts and hairy-chested determination over polished high-budget corporate racing.
