Awesome Rally

During a recent rally run at the 2014 Rally Ourense in Spain, driver Oscar Barroso took a corner with amazing style, pulling two wheels off the ground as he came around the bend in his Suzuki Swift. Another view here.

Helicopter fly-overs provide one of the coolest perspectives on rally races. In this clip, the chopper pilot demonstrates his impressive flying abilities, keeping up with every move of the drivers below. More footage here.

What could possibly be more exciting than rally racing? Rally racing through snow and ice! In this clip, we get a mix of exterior and POV footage and a little background on the traditions and community surrounding Sno*Drift. (Thanks Alex!)

Rally co-drivers have a hard enough job keeping their drivers on the road, so we have to hand it to Mark Allaeys for going beyond the call in 1991 when he had to manually control the broken throttle on driver Dominique de Muynck’s Alfa.

Driver Michael Louli and co-pilot Jim Adams take a bad turn during a race, finding themselves unexpectedly embedded in a house. Thanks to their safety gear, they’re shockingly unfazed by the incident. But what about the homeowner?

Remember those driving dogs from New Zealand? Apparently they’re really quick learners, if this silly video mashup of that footage with Ken Block’s Gymkhana were to be believed.

Last year, we shared Ken Block’s Gymkhana Four: Hollywood video. The guys behind the clip have released a new “raw” edit, focused on Block’s skills and less on Hollywood flash. We prefer this cut.

A stop-motion video explaining how Ken Block’s new custom Ford Fiesta RS WRC can be tweaked so that it can be used to compete in Stage Rallies and Rallycross and also burn rubber at gymkhana.

Ken Block takes his rally ride for a dizzying, dust-filled spin through London’s Battersea Power Station as part of a promo for the new DIRT 3. Commercial or not, it’s still awesome driving.
