Historic rallying -On the limit and beyond

[@daedalus_20v]

I used to watch rally cars sailing past, sideways, at 120kph, teetering on the edge of control, and think, "those guys are crazy!" And then I realized the drivers and co-drivers are the sane ones. The people standing 5cm away from the cars sailing past, sideways, at 120kph... _THOSE_ people are crazy.

[@kevinuploadingwhatever]

[@9000ftElev]

Or if the wreck is not serious, I think they just LIKE seeing wrecked cars up close.

[@TheSakisaki666]

They run there to ask "is everything alright? are you ok?" And if everything is cool they start pushing the car back to road so the driver can continue. The clock is ticking and the race is on. That is why they hurry. Very rarely anything serious happens to driver or passanger. It needs to be harder hit than these. Edit: I have seen drivers yelling to spectators if they just walking slowly

[@sumblwnup8695]

Incredible talent, pushing the car beyond its limits even when there’s so much that could go wrong, a lot more interesting than drag racing which many people think means they are good but that’s mostly dependent on the car than the driver, very cool

[@SSmallwood]

first half of comment was good, second part wasnt needed obviously you dont know much about drag racing (im not a fan of it but those drivers are insane)

[@101jir]

Every motorsport has its value. Drag racing is more engineering oriented than traffic oriented, but that doesn't degrade it one bit. That said, while I don't personally enjoy it, I have a coworker that does and she mentioned the joy of it really doesn't translate well over television. While engineering is what drag racing is primarily about, it does take a lesser known skill: mechanical sympathy. They have to shift at the perfect moment, and generally need to have a sense for what is going on with their engine based on what they are hearing and feeling. As a spectator sport, I feel like it's mostly the sound of the engines and feeling its power that helped it take off, because from what I can tell the skill aspect is either not plainly visible in the way avoiding a wreck is, or happened before the race when the engine was built and maintained.

[@nightowlrally]

Straight roads are for fast cars. Corners are for fast drivers ;)

[@denehardy949]

@@nightowlrally​ the fastest drag racing is doing 1000 ft in just over 3.5 seconds from a standing start at over 330mph (530km/h) I’m not sure how you can consider being able to control something like this not being a fast driver. Even between 5-11 seconds in the 1/4 mile can take a lot of skill, but much of it is not evident to spectators. I grew up a rally, circuit racing fan and but recently I’ve been following drag racers on KZbin (mainly Cleetus McFarland) and once you can see behind the noise, tyre smoke and raw power you better understand what really goes into a fast run. The problem is I don’t think Drag Racing does a good job of communicating this to the fans. I think dirt track Speedway racing in the same. You can watch it for years and unless you have a connection to someone behind the scenes you never discover the intricacies of it.

[@TheSakisaki666]

I am not much of a fan of drag racing either but if you take a look at the lateral acceleration car goes through in drag racing you understand better the difficulity of that sport. And those movements in sideways are very unpredictable caused probably mostly by differential

[@bikewhorder]
