    Great video...

    2 things required to be a WRC driver.... Commitment and plenty of it, and a rather large pair of aggots!

    Dont know about anyone else but Ive always thought Rally drivers are the best drivers in the world!

    I tend to agree robby,

    i love F1, absolutely, the guys are like perfectionist robots to be able to consistently lap within 1000ths of a second.

    but on the other hand a rally driver has to deal with constantly changing variables and so is the king of adaptation.

    i feel the rally drivers are worth a lot more than they are paid, and they are typically down-to-earth about it too.

    tis a shame that the marketing side of things puts them a distant second profile-wise

    I don't have the gahoonas to drive that fast on such a tight ever changing track, even with pace notes!

    ...into a tree at speed...

    It looks like lots of fun but I think I would be purchasing the worlds largest supply of brown undies before heading out.
