A Visual Reminder That Rally Drivers Are Completely Bonkers
A Visual Reminder That Rally Drivers Are Completely Bonkers-March 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:11:16

Everyone in the Canadian rally scene is familiar with Crazy Leo and his, uh, enthusiastic driving style. To wit: he and his codriver Alex Kihurani went careening into a snowbank at around 85 miles per hour, blew out a window, filled the car with snow and continuing on through the rest of the stage.

Watch the full video and you’ll get two strong impressions.

The first is that Crazy Leo very much lives up to his name

The second is that I can’t help but feel like Kihurani in the right seat is even crazier. Freezing wind cutting into the car, covered in snow, no gloves. His whole job is to flip pages in the pacenotes and let Leo know where he’s going, how not to crash, something he has already done on this stage already.

If it were me, I’d have hopped out of the car and told him to go the rest of the run alone. But that’s why Kihurani is one of the best codrivers in the business.

Some things, such as the low likelihood of making a ton of money by owning a race track, never change. Others definitely do. Here's a glimpse back into the opening of Oulton Park in England, complete with a tour of the facility. Oulton Park was built on the old Oulton...

A Photo Finish Worth Soiling Your Pants Over
A Photo Finish Worth Soiling Your Pants Over
The British Touring Car Championship is a magical place where rubbin's racin' gets applied to a road course, all done in cars that would be candidates for if they were stateside. This weekend's ridiculous photo finish is no exception: there's no telling who will win until the very last second....

We're all familiar with what race cars look from the outside, or even out the front window. That being said, every once in a while, it's cool to see what the driver's up to. Behold, the driver cam. Ryan Eversley's Acura TLX-GT in Pirelli World Challenge is more complicated than...
