The best rally driver in the world is Sabastien Loeb of France. The Finns usually dominate rally racing but Loeb is incredible. He has won the world rally championship for the last 5 years in a row. It is big in Europe too like NASCAR but not as big as Formula 1.
He looks like a thinner and younger version of Russell Crowe.
Rally drivers are NUTS. Guys like Loeb are not only amazing drivers with uncanny reflexes but they’ve got brass cojones to do what they do. Four-wheel drifting through a corner on a one-lane dirt track in the middle of some Scandinavian nowhere at 100+ mph...insanity.
Of course, compared to the old Group B Audis and cars of the mid-1980s, the new Subarus and Mitsubishis and Citroens are puny. Group B cars were brutal.
