Seriously, this reminds me what rallying used to be.

Watched the first one.

Those roads look incredible. Wide and fast, elevation changes, and plenty of room to stretch the car's legs. When you say "used to be," is that because you've actually driven those stages before, Moose?

Yes Brian, those are the stages where I cut my teeth in the early 80's. They are within 30 minutes of our family house, in most cases I can close my eyes and read the notes. Those stages are fun but if you get over confident they will nip you in the ass big time.

For shits and giggles look for "IRC Istanbul" on youtube.com the videos are incredible.

WRC ===> Unobtainium materials with UberSecret technologies,no flavour, where machine is more important than talent.

IRC ===> Very close to stock configuration, S1600 and S2000, NORMALLY ASPIRATED mostly 2WD where talent is worth more than equipment.

Hmmmm, i would like to buy a close to stock 2lt car which revs to 9K+ produces 300hp, has a sequential box and is all wheel drive. The only condition would be that it does not cost ~$300K
Most of those cars you saw at IRC Istanbul are 4wd S2000s

Talent on the other hand is definetely there. Any little fuck up and you 3-4 places down.



rally gods would turn in their graves if they ever knew Lada's were now part of EU rallying!!!
