F1 off road!!!
All I can say is cool

Perhaps Bernie should take note and have a F1 off road race. The burnouts and dust clouds alone would be worth it.

I remember seeing one in the past on snow and ice.

Also a 2 seater f1 car. (extra long)

Pretty sweet

Group B Rally was known as F1 through the trees... Some of the Group B Rally cars were just as fast if not faster in a straight line then some of the F1 cars of the same era.

Bring back Group B rally I say!

Yip they were pure madness, always remember this fact here which demonstrates just how nuts those cars and drivers were:

[i]To give you an idea of the kind of performance GroupB cars were capable of I'll mention that in the 1986 season Henri Toivonen made two laps around the Estoril circuit, during a stage of the Portuguese rally, the fastest of which, in 1 minute and 18,1 seconds, would have qualified him in the sixth position of the F1 Grand Prix that same season. Ayrton Senna had the Pole Position in the 1986 Portuguese Grand Prix in 1 minute and 16,7 seconds...Toivonen was using the Lancia Delta S4 and was accompanied by his usual co-driver Sergio Cresto.

[Grrrrrrr!]

If he'd ditched the co driver he might have made front row

Would be interesting to see if any manufacturer would take up the challenge of building a Group B car if they brought the class back!
Imagine a 1000hp ford focus, full carbon, outrageous body kit, nitros in the fire extinguisher, thousands of people lining the roads

[Grrrrrrr!]

So pretty much Pikes Peak (before they sealed most of the road).. on roids?

Pikes peak will be 100% tarmac next year

I liked the fact they obviously were going for as little grip as possible, by using slicks.

And the bumpy bit of road where coulthard obviously has no sympathy for the car, and does a mad burnout doughey over the bumps.

Yeah Pikes peak is lame now its all sealed, bring back race to the sky, the real mans hill climb.
