The appeal of rally racing

Since there have been cars, people have wanted to race them.

This has resulted in a great many forms of racing. For those unable to do anything other than turn left, Nascar was invented. F1 was created for the major speed freak and physical specimen who could also handle corners.

But the craziest of the crazy, who wanted nothing more than to hurtle along gravel, dirt, mud, and snow at insane speeds while risking death at every turn something even more exciting was created: Rally racing.
