The first time I drove my race car. Revving out to 7500 on every shift, hitting the apexes, the noise, amazing experience.

Usually Oostvoorne, The Netherlands
Long ago, Michael Schumacher won using superb tactics. He finieshed the race in pitlane, just after he took a stop-and-go in the last lap. He barely won, but he did by a stupid piece of legislation they made and kind of forgot.. IIRC it was Belgium in the 90's.. he was allready driving for Ferrari, possibly the 2nd year.

Verstappen in the rain:

Verstappen at Dunbar:

The awesome Vatanen:
YouTube - Climb Dance



I seriously didn't breath for a few minutes here:
YouTube - Ricardo Zonta Crashes at Spa in 1999

And saving the best for last; Jan de Rooij in his DAF-Truck overtaking Vatanen in Paris-Dakar (Must see !):
YouTube - Jan de Rooy Dakar 1988 Daf turbo twin

I am almost drooling watching that awesome machine again..

Popular belief made up by Adam... can't be anything but serious.

Ryan Newman's horrific end-over-end crash in 2001 or 2002. Amazing to see him roll the car and walk out.

Mazda 787B victory

That's all for now.

I can't believe I forgot that.

That is the best racing I have ever seen by a huge margin.
