Stories from the world of RC car racing

This is quite probably the best pice of in-car footage I have ever seen.  Join an Audi R8 on a stunning hill-climb section.  2 minutes 47 of video heaven.  It’s a bitumen version of Peugot’s famous “Climb Dance” movie with Ari Vatanen taking a 405 to the top of Pike’s Peak.

    would it be wrong to hope that the engineers playing around making music will lead to alonso’s car exploding in brazil? :p

    Tracked down another old favourite I haven’t seen for years. This is Walter Rohrl “Happy Feet” driving an Audi Quattro Grp B rally car. Watch his feet fly on the pedals!

    Yes Anthony, it would be wrong to hope for that!
    Lets hope instead that Micheal crashes on the first lap and takes Massa with him!

    dont get me wrong… alonso’s engine doesn’t have to blow up.
    ….a suspension failure or broken rear wing would be okay too! 🙂
    brazil tends to bite harder and more often than most other tracks. infact i bet alonso will even be nervous about the billboards over the track falling down again 😛

    I’d be nervous about the billboards too – there’s probably no shortage of “red” supporters behind them to push ’em over onto Alonso – anything to get Massa to win 🙂
    If Renault are smart they’ll fuel Alonso a little light for Q3 to make sure he is at least 3rd on the grid – after that, just a nice start and then slot in behind the evil red cars and onto another c’ship.

    I’ll check wit the moderator – I’ve got a feeling that bad talk about the red cars can’t be tolerated on this forum.

    Really?
    I was going to say that I love those “red” cars are nothing more than glorifed Fiats, and that they a driven by an arrogant cheat, and the day he retires will be a great day indeed…
    But I wont say that now, in fear of being censored lol 😀

    while on the topic of the ‘ring
    a lap of the ring in the original R32 GT-R, pretty much off the showroom floor (with the exception of oil coolers and a larger intercooler and radiator)
    http://video.google.com.au/videoplay?docid=179714081991319108
    and ten years later, a lap in the R34 GT-R Z-Tune prototype, very interesting to see the difference in performance after 10 years of development on essentially the same platform… and even more impressive, the video was 3 years before the z-tune was deemed ready to be released to the public (well 20 people with 18million yen to spare… one day)

    well after watching the moto gp last night… daniel pedrosa gave me an idea for yet another alternative.
    if fisichella wants to have a brain explosion and go steaming into a corner from nowhere, jump over the curb into his team mate, taking him out… that’d be another approved scenario. 😛
    forza ferrari!
