Here's The Subaru Rally .GIF To End All Subaru Rally .GIFs
Here's The Subaru Rally .GIF To End All Subaru Rally .GIFs-September 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:11:47

Colin McRae, the 555 Impreza, and one of the biggest jumps in WRC history. This is the one.

This is Rally Australia 1997, at the Bunnings jump. It is, and I'm not sure if there's a better word for it, bonkers. Here's the outside video of the leap, along with the possibly even nuttier one-wheel landing jump that follows.

And here's the in car. Watch and listen to legendary codriver Nicky Grist — he might be even more impressive than McRae here.

Grist, who is bracing for impact with his left hand and clutching his pacenotes with his right, never misses a beat. His tone doesn't even change on the drop.

Here's the BBC's half-hour coverage of the rally. Watch and enjoy.

if you think you have a better Subaru rally .GIF, post it in the comments below!

You Don't Even Need To Cross The Finish Line Forwards If You're The Fastest
It doesn’t matter how you get pole position for a race—all that really matters is that you went the fastest, and it counted. Techeetah Formula E driver Jean-Éric Vergne even arrived backwards across the finish line for his fastest lap in qualifying for Race 1 of the Hong Kong ePrix,...

Formula E Got Red Flagged For A Macau-Style Traffic Jam On The First Lap
Formula E probably didn’t have the season opening weekend it wanted right after a of manufacturers announced they’re coming into the series. Saturday’s race was stopped for a crash that blocked the road on the very first lap of the 2017 season. André Lotterer got stuck in the wall on...

This Desert Truck's 97 MPH Implosion Launches A Wheel Into Low Orbit
Youtheory Racing’s No. 55 truck sent a wheel flying across a desert when their truck landed nose-first into the dirt while trying to qualify for the Pahrump Nugget 250 Best in the Desert race. No one was hurt, but it just looks like a ridiculous trucksplosion. They’re just going along,...

Three Racing Cheats You've Never Heard Of
Three Racing Cheats You've Never Heard Of
I will never tire of hearing about ingenious ways that car racing teams bend the rules for what they can and can’t do for engineering speed. I thought I knew them all, but there are always more. These cheats, er, rule-bending modifications, popped up on my Facebook feed this morning...
