Ford really should take advantage of this publicity and consider selling an AWD Focus-based WRX competitor (based on the RS?) in the US.

The segment at the start with the wall bump is golden. When it cuts to the in-car, his face is priceless, and looks pretty similar to Mr. Bowyer in my avatar.....then he goes back on track by way of literally hitting the apex. As in drive right over it.

Ken Block is loving great.

I don't even "get" autocross as it is commonly set up--the courses are usually so tight it's like they are designed for cars with 90 HP. What's the appeal? To see how fast you can navigate a parking lot full of orange cones, without exceeding 50 MPH? I guess it's fun for some people, but I think I'd be very frustrated. (due to lack of driving skill + a boat of a car like a GTO)

Go and give it a shot if you haven't already. It's an absolute blast. I did it in a beat up Grand Marquis, which is pretty serious boat territory. The grin and general novelty of the first time at an autocross didn't wear off for hours.

Also, that video is the oddest autocross setup I've ever seen, and I don't know what the hell they were doing.

e: here, have a better autocross video.

Everyone who tracks there car would know that stopping on track and getting out is a bad idea and its something that is gone over in nearly every drivers meeting. I know the ring is a bit of a different animal, but let the safety crews do their job. Its way too likely that a car will come around the corner and collect not only the crashed car sitting in the middle of the track, but you standing next to the crashed car.

The 'ring Touristenfahrten days are not a track day and things are handled a little differently. People forget that on those days, it's basically just a one way unrestricted speed toll way. You can get a ticket for not passing on the left and all the normal German traffic laws still apply. There are even speed limits in some sections now.

wikipedia posted:

Drivers who do crash have a responsibility of warning following vehicles that there has been an incident. If an accident occurs typical passerby procedure is to stop only if needed.(Needs include stopping to render first aid or to warn incoming traffic.) Follow up accidents are frequent and, the less chaos at a scene, the less chance for another "follow-up" accident to occur. The 'Ring, although for all intents and purposes a race track when used for racing, still remains a public road when opened to the public and is policed as such. Anyone caught or reported as driving dangerously can be fined or banned by the authorities. The costs can also be prohibitive with vehicle recovery, track closure penalties, and Armco repairs costing up to €15,000 out-of-pocket
