Here’s a great compilation of recent rally racing crashes, near-crashes and exciting antics. Watch it in full-screen mode for best results.
In my younger days, I used to enjoy rallying, driving a slightly souped-up second-generation Ford Escort in South Africa. However, it was highly unusual for us to hit more than 70-80 mph on the farm and country roads we used. Today’s highly specialized rally cars seem to hit double that as a matter of course, and even faster on occasion. I doubt I’d ever have been a good enough driver to handle them.

The lack of running from the revenuers, I would suspect.
The drivers are obviously crazy but the people standing beside the road are just idiots. I assume that the reason we don't do that kind of racing in the USA is because of the liability laws. Sure looks like fun though. 🙂
