I also like that rally racing is just you, your car and the course; you aren't really competing with the other racers except for time. <br /><br /><br />I'm pretty sure you have to sign a waiver to WATCH the VIDEOS of those races, much lass spectate and participate.

Those Finnish roads appear to be extremely unforgiving in their shoulder design. Putting so much as a single wheel off the road surface has a near 100% crash result.<br /><br />I notice in the various rally clips you post that most crashes are the result of greatly overcooking a corner. Expecting traction to be at 100% on every corner is unrealistic for a road course. Too many of them also have a poor sense of how fast a corner is, from making a sighting lap at reduced speed. This is a very common problem for racers of all types.<br /><br />A very common problem is racing in slow corners. You can't make time in a slow corner, but it is very easy to lose time, break something, or crash. This is the single biggest mistake made by beginners, and it is a habit that can take years to realize and overcome, if ever.
