Euros / Hungarians! frickin nutcases. Their idea of rallycross is so badass.

I like how they intentionally PIT each other going into the first turn. Is that technically a holeshot???

That's pretty cool, closest I've seen to that here in the states is sprint car racing.

:-D There is a couple European Rally-x events up here in NY...


I want to go to one sooo bad!

Yeah Euro rallycross is the best racing in the world, IMO. In case it isn't obvious, the tracks are part asphalt, part dirt. So like they'd run half of Thunderhill track, then run through an infield dirt course back to the track. It's like rally meets touring cars, except the cars are complete monsters (at the top level anyway, they compete all the way down to old Minis and stuff).

Rallycross is where most of the Gp. B cars ended up as well.

Check it out
1992 (RS200, 6R4) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sr-wiOawoLM
1989 (205T16, Delta etc) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vL3CnGNbZC4

These days the top level is mostly contested by ex-WRC cars, as I understand it.

btw it's actually supposed to be a non-contact sport..

Oh Man. That takes me back.

Hehe yeah.. Martin Schanche and Will Gollop are names of legend for car mad Europeans of a certain age, I think.. Schanche is a Norweigan politician now, and still as bat**** insane as ever. Look him up on Youtube, there's a vid of him smacking one of his political rivals :D

[ankyle62]

[Team Illuminata]

I get to play in the dirt tomorrow in SE Michigan. This Eoro-cross is very inspirational. I might have to google some more.

Rallycross predates supermoto by about ten years. Although oddly enough they both originated as cross-discipline invitational TV events...
