Rally racing is one hell of an automotive sport. Elevation and road surface changes are par for the course and when combined with unpredictable weather, driver fatigue, blind corners, and lots of horsepower you are left with an spectacular participant and spectator sport.
However you are also left with a question:
Who’s got more balls?
The drivers running the course, or the spectators on the course?
and because this subject needs video evidence:
(specifically at about 1:53)
They’re both nuts!!
Drivers had balls. Taming 600hp+ hatchback with crude 80’s technology. Fans were just dumb.
Nowadays the fans have more balls. As the cars are now tame 280hp peices of crap.
you have to have balls to risk a life other than your own and keep the peddle mashed. scraped is right, fans are just dumb, especially in a large group.
*pedal.
Four statements “Monte Carlo rally” “heavy snow” “no recovery team” and ‘1950-60’s”. Rally drivers used to get no sleep, have to sit in tiny cabins, not kill their co-drivers, and deal with horrible cold starts. Rally drivers have more balls.
LOL ‘and not kill their co drivers’
Having been around lots of out of control automobiles I can say I wouldn’t be as close as Rally fans, but ya you guys are right its probably more a balls to dumb ratio than anything else.
I guess taking a 600 hp car and pointing it at a crowd of living things not giving a crap takes balls too lol.
The truth is that Drivers have balls and Spectators don’t have brains, so here we go )

Not sure but who has the biggest balls is the co-drivers in my opinion, they have no control.
For drivers, spectators are considered trees…
that’s how I drive in town and around schools.
@Seche, wow in one instance the trees want to save you, the others they want you dead.
