I cant believe no one has posted this yet, but if they did i failed, hey i looked. Anyway all the country boys round here are just pissed that a foreign automaker won. I told all of them a couple years ago it wouldn't take long for Toyota to grab a win lol

historic day

maybe if the success keeps up Toyota will really make a new sports car instead of just rumors

its too bad the speed channel canceled their WRC coverage and put in nascar.

every single time i turn it to the speed channel its something to do with nascar which IMO, is probably the most boring sport to watch along with golf and baseball. For some reason driving around an oval for hours on end just seems like a pointless waste of fuel when you could actually be challenged by the course your racing on.

Grats to Toyota though, maybe now they will start making some cars worth some sporting events in the next 10 years kindasad.gif

That sucks.

But guess what sucks the most. The most legendary Special Stage on the whole WRC-series, Ouninpohja in Jyväkylä´s Neste Rally Finland got taken away from the WRC because it dot too dangerous.


Well, see for yourself:

HUGE JUMPS and CRASHES on Ouninpohja

The driver Mikko Hirvonen says in the one film that "its a great stege, but its so fast that sometimes i´m scared driving on it"
