    Porsche 911 RSR Driver Gets It Totally Wrong, Flips Over Barrier Into Pond: Video

    There's getting it wrong, then there's this. The car is a Porsche 911 RSR of the 964 flavor. The barrier is a large cement line of the Jersery flavor. The water is of the you-don't-want-to-land-upside-down-in-it flavor. The scene: Driver Harry Kleinjan, attempting to tear through a stage of the...

    Rally Co-Driver Sits Directly On Engine To Save The Day: Video

    Everything about rally racing requires something different when compared to other forms of racing. The cars and the people who pilot them are equally insane. Neither, however, is as insane as the average co-driver. This is the person who has to maintain even more cool than the driver because they...

  • East-African Safari Rally Corvette Grand Sport

    Rally cars are a unique breed of vehicle that demand a high level of performance combined with a high level of abuse. Sure, other forms of racing take tolls on the vehicles competing, but rally cars are some of the hardest working machines on the planet. That's why it's important to run a vehicle that's up to the task. One team in particular is prepping for the upcoming East-African Safari Rally, reports BangShift, which should prove to be particularly demanding. Their vehicle of choice? A 1963 Chevrolet Corvette Grand Sport. DON'T MISS: Watch A Jaguar XJ220 Taken For Joyride... Around A...

  • Rally car test filmed in quadvision
    Rally Car Test In Quadvision Melts Your Brain: Video

    Watching a pro rally driver at work in his office is like watching a conductor use all four limbs to direct an orchestra--at about 200 beats per minute.

    The Happiest Rally Duo On Earth: Video

    If you can make it through the Irish accents and NSFW language in this video, you'll see the happy-go-luckiest pair of rally misfits ever. They're brilliant.

  • 2013 Subaru WRX STI, Ireland and the Isle of Man, 2013
    Saying Goodbye To The Subaru WRX STI At The Isle Of Man

    The current Subaru WRX STI is a beast: powerful, capable, but something less than pretty. Despite its ungainly looks, it has made fans out of us and out of a large chunk of the populace. But it's due for replacement soon. So we took the opportunity to spend the better part of a week with the car in...

  • Hyundai PM580-T sketch

    Last year Rhys Millen drove his Hyundai Genesis Coupe drift car, lightly modified for Pikes Peak use to the fastest time up the mountain, ever. This year, the Millen-Hyundai pairing is aiming to repeat the overall win, and defend his overall fastest time to the clouds. This year's car won't be a Genesis Coupe, though. Instead, a Pikes Peak-specific prototype called the PM580-T (the T is for tarmac). Powered by a Lambda V-6 engine, using rear-wheel drive and traction control, the new race car is based heavily on the previous Hyundai-Rhys Millen Racing PM580 prototype. Previous runs at the Peak...

    The path to the summit is almost completely paved these days, but that doesn't make the race up Pikes Peak any less thrilling or terrifying. In fact, it raises the speeds and increases the potential for danger. That makes it all the more important to have a well-sorted car for the time trial to the...

    Ken Block Eying Seventh Win At 100 Acre Wood With Fiesta HFHV

    However moderate Ken Block's success in the World Rally Championship, there's no denying his dominance here at home.

  • 2013 Subaru Rally Team USA WRX STI rally car

    Toyota, for all of its snoozerific mainstream cars, has long had a firm grasp on grassroots motorsports, as well as the professional series. The Rally America National Championship bridges the two, and Toyota is hitting it hard this year with another top-level effort from Subaru Rally Team USA and an ambitious plan for Scion. The Subaru Rally Team (SRT USA) has long been a force in the Rally America championship, with last year's dominance of the David Higgins and Craig Drew pairing resulting in a second consecutive Rally America overall championship victory, and the seventh for SRT USA.

    David Higgins is, if you're not familiar, the 2012 RallyAmerica National Champion driver (along with co-driver Craig Drew), and the lead wheelman in Subaru Rally Team USA's efforts. He's therefore, by definition and demonstration, one bad-ass driver. But in rally, it's not all about the driver (or...
