Nice!
Doubt it would be competitive on the RAC though..........

There's something very destructive about this that appeals to me - having enough money to take a Gallardo by the scruff of the neck must be quite liberating.
Even with the more prosaic sports cars I've owned, I've never really got them dirty.
Perhaps this is the old safe queen versus beater question in a different format?
Excellent.

Didn't AM take a V8 Vantage rallying too?
EDIT :- Looks like it was a tarmac rally, and they crashed it too!

Looked like fun, but very slow... I would have loved to see a prepped Mk 2 Escort blow past him....

My guess is that he hired it for the day!
Probably; I´ve always bought cars and bikes to get them dirty. In a different time I rode my bike/car to the circuit to race. Abrought too even. Drive back sunday night, sometime straight to work. I have yet to buy a garage queen or have a car resprayed. For me the odd scratch ´n dent is inevitable and liberating.Originally Posted by AlphaOmega
Doesn't look like it went over 30mph. Heroic.

Sorry, I could have gone faster through that stage in my 205Gti rally car.
Rallying ? hardly.
This is rallying! Spot the difference....

It looks like it was made for an add for exotic car hire. Which to me seems a little strange because I'm very sure they would not want there customers doing that in their cars.
The roughest part was when he was doing donuts over the pot holes. Not something any one should do unless they can afford to pay for the damage.
What a load of b******s. Sorry, but some goon in a baseball cap that's sat with a very awkward driving position, letting the car do most of the work on its standard summer tyres, whilst being driven slowly through a gravel road isn't rallying.
And no seat belt.
The Bentley in Top Gear...now that was proper driving.
That is why I love that sport, absolutely superb video!
That was the same driver as in the YouTube link I posted.
Brilliant, brilliant stuff.
Plenty of oversteer (was the car ever going in a straight line?), rear wheel drive MkII Escort, roadside fans who'd probably been stood there hours beforehand, fern and tree lined tracks, stacks of logs, H pattern manual 'box, well timed and accurate pace notes and truly heroic car control. Great camera view as well, really shows off the effort and skill, would love to have seen a pedal box camera view along side it!
Proper rallying, I doff my bobble hat.
