Rally Car Videos

Another WRC crash video. Highlights include the silent footage a (probably Italian) driver berating his copilot after a crash, two racers oblivious to a major fire occuring in their backseat, and in-car footage of a rollover, after which the racers continue driving. Lowpoints include a heavy Queen soundtrack and no car audio.

Here's a very sharp highlights reel from last year's WRC series. Soundtrack is decent, cinematography is excellent, and there are a lot of great launching scenes. These guys take some nasty rollovers. I don't understand why their rollcage doesn't prevent the roof from caving in more -- every accident I see seems to crush the roof too close for comfort.

Came home from work tonight to watch a forty-minute video of the 2002 WRC at Calalunya Spain. Highlights include narraation in English, a lot of onboard camera action, and the top tier driving. (And also a copilot berating his driver after a crash, "How could you be so stupid!? I told you you twice")
