i dont know who is crazier.. the drivers, their navigators, or the fans that stand right at the outside edge of the road on a hair-pin turn.

I agree with the thread title. I saw vids of Colin McRae's footwork, and holy gucamole, it's crazier than my breakdancing skills.

I love Rally racing. It surely is some of the most skill oriented racing anywhere.

Lol, nascar is a joke when it comes to driver skills compared to other motorsports. To me WRC, and Formula 1 are the pinnacle.

Here is some Formula 1.......I can't think and react that fast...lol


Formula 1 in car

both WRC and F1 is amazing, but I don't understand the NASCAR hate, realistically there is a lot of skill in driving 200mph in 20 car packs 6 inches from the guy in front, behind, and beside you for 500 miles... Especially at tracks like Talladega and Daytona where at those speeds your back tires can be off the ground while getting "bump drafted"... Not saying its harder than WRC or F1, but there is definitely a lot of skill involved, people tend to forget those cockpits in NASCAR are around 150 degrees, try sitting in 150 degree weather for 3 hours and get back to me on how bad it sucks, hell go out in the middle of summer, turn your heater up on full blast with the windows up and drive around for 3 hours...

now imagine doing that for 500 miles with 42 other cars...
