Shiny side up, please...


I'm not really into crash videos. But in this case, it shows the structural rigidity built into rally cars. On it's lid, and I didn't notice any glass broken! Granted, as far as rollovers go, this one was gentle. But the point is still made: A properly executed cage can save your life.
It just does NOTHING for egos...


Audi S1 crash by Michelle Mouton @ Race of Champions 2010

Do you dream about carving your favorite road in an open topped, carbon fiber, turbocharged street-legal go-kart? How about 1,750 pounds motivated by an Audi 2.0 liter turbo powerplant? How about 0-60 in under 4 seconds?

I've always been a fan of the German ROC (Race of Champions) series. Reminiscent of the old IROC series here in the US, but with some twists. And now with the Audi R8 LMS (now in my top 5 car list) as one of the stars of the show; it's a must see.
