The "when racing was fucking awesome" thread, 70's, 80's, 90's ahoy

Some sweet videos posted!!! To add to the rally ones.....

In my time on the Isle of Man i could often be found around the majority of these lanes! Absolutely amazing roads over there!

Thats just insane, it must have affected some of the drivers concentration having people standing in the road and tonnes of flashing cameras (like in the night bit) like it's not hard enough driving that fast on its own lol

Must have been bad for the drivers, having to concentrate on driving and having the thought in your head that you are so close to killing hundreds of people.

Not to mention the fact they cant even see the road sometimes :wack:

Completely! I go a bit slower even with a passenger.. apart from my rally partner, Unders, we have a death by awesomeness agreement!

Another one from IoM, i think this is one of the mountain roads up north way.

Epic driving in the Manx video above...

I really love the old school porsche turbo's like the 935 and 930. Massive wide fenders. Twinturbo's without exhausts or anything are so epic to listen to...

trying to find some mid 90s dtm racing with the calibras, 155 alfas and stuff like that, they had more tech on them than an f1 car at the time

'88. Soper did a couple of rounds in the Eggenberger Sierra. He beat Rouse earlier in the season at Thruxton so Rouse came back with a newly built engine running more boost when Soper returned for Brands Hatch. Even with the extra boost he still had a close battle with Soper, Rouse had him on the straights but the Eggenberger car had more grip. Epic battle.

Can't believe I just found this video by accident! Brilliant brilliant racing though! It would be nice if a tv channel would replay an entire season in real time over the course of a year to relive it again!

Anyhoo \/ :thumbs:
