Solberg never had the money to even get close to running one properly. But the fact a four year old car can still be competitve in underfunded privateer hands says exactly how good they are - The C4 is an ugly prick of a car that's only saved because Citroen throws bulk cash and there really only one manufactuer even trying to build something to compete. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nq0kEVjRqow For content

So you are saying that if they had continued to develop the Xsara instead of the C4 it would be better? That's more agreeable. I don't really understand why Citroen continues to pour money into WRC. The C4 isn't sporty. Rallying isn't really part of Citroens image. What do they wish to promote and to who? I guess dominating the sport for close to a decade helps though. The "Koeningsegg" Ford Granada that everyone loves to hate at the dragstrip. Pretty underwhelming http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rPr3FvLzZak EDIT: And just to prove myself wrong in the same post.

So you think it's terrifying going up Pikes Peak at high speeds now? What about in 1957? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=omCAkCV9GB8 Check out that body roll, holy poo poo.

Minis racing at last year's Goodwood Revival: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hq743jZ6L0Y It's amazing how an entire field of Minis at full throttle in aggregate sounds like one or two touring cars at part throttle. Plus, they're literally driving three abreast down a straight. Also, the announcers are seriously getting into it. I wish we had better racing TV in North America. It's super exciting to see cars the size of a shopping cart running flat out.

Yeah, that era was brutal. Here's an extended view of Salt Walther's crash. He lived, but look at how far driver and fan safety has come. Well, driver safety anyway. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X-IsOuo5be8
