This is more "things I posted on YouTube" - is that kosher? Hoping so. Three Rednecks and a Russian - Jeep Wrangler Crushes Honda Prelude I didn't shoot or participate (drat it!) but I did edit and then upload this for him, as I have firewire. I thought you guys would get a kick out of it anyway...

Hey amateur rally star Chris Duplessis, do you have good enough car control to drive a car at just the right speed to keep snack crackers poised perfectly on your fingertips? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TFl8PpyWWP8 Duplessis previously brought us this video where he bagged on a $50 Impreza on ice with dirt bike studs in the tires: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kWSq0noxdLA I'm pretty sure I'm not that accurate driving straight, leave alone sliding on ice.

Contraband posted:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J47eK55kOvI You are my hero right now! The Mustang video was mere foreplay for the DTM video. DTM is everything great about motorsport rolled into one and I can't fathom why it isn't where NASCAR is right now. Something about stock chassis cars being built to their best, in thier racing suits going hard as gently caress 100% of the time, trading paint, jumping curbs, unabashidly sliding and grabbing lines, is so pure. It's "You're not up to it, get the gently caress out" kind of racing. My personal best of the best. The world would be a better place if it were #1. I'll get by with WRC I guess...

Amazing. e: http://www.topgear.com/uk/car-news/370z-crash-2010-09-08 The crash is @ 3:10, am I confused or was that actually the driver of the Corsa's fault? The Z was nearly completely past when the Corsa turned in on his right rear. I thought it was generally considered that when you pass another car's side mirror you were past. 2ndclasscitizen fucked around with this message at 12:46 on Sep 8, 2010 |

I'm a bit confused as well, I don't know a lot about racing, but it looked like the Corsa caused the wreck, but everyone blamed the TG driver? Shouldn't it be on the Corsa driver to take the outside if he's been passed?

I mean, it seems that way, but the Z driver seems to believe he was at fault, as well as the race announcer and the TG writer. I think I'm missing something here, unless you're not supposed to force another driver out of his line in a corner maybe?
