  • best co-driver ever

    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 tell the wheelman where to point the rapidly accelerating machine. You need an iron stomach, a sharp mind, and, ahem, big brass ones. It's clear than that the co-driver seen in the above video fits the mold rather well.

  • 2014 Cadillac CTS Vsport
