To be honest, I'm not really impressed by the coverage. WRC coverage does a much better job of getting you to feel what is going on and give you as sensation of speed. the other thing is I have about 5 kids that signed up for the rally thinking this is what they are going to be doing.... oh boy

seems like a fun course and a new event for x-games. It's been a while since I've watched that event.

Definetelly helps bring attention to the sport!!!

But I agree poor coverage on it though!

Rally-x added last year. Collin McRae rolled it in the super special (btw that will be aired today -- Sunday -- probably in the evening, supposed to be in the 3-6pm block) and lost first place by .22sec :(



That was not a spoiler to what happened this year, that's what happened last year. That video was dated 2006 btw ;)

I want to know who the rocket surgeon was that decided it would be a good idea to have the cars aiming directly at each other at the finish... That course would NOT have passed SCCA safety standards, haha.

That's what you can do with TV revenue paying the insurance bill...it's all about the ratings, yo....

* Top notch cages : CHECK
* HANS devices : CHECK
* Very low speed corner after a 90degree corner: CHECK
* Fully staffed arena : CHECK

This nose to nose end of course corner, in these cars, in these circumstances, allowed for about as much bodily harm as playing frisbee in your yard does.

So many accidents... it was just made for good TV. I was kind of dissapointed but I am just glad Pastrana didn't win.
