Sparky Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 I know there are alot of you out there that love the E30 M3 and rally racing as much as I do so I thought it would be cool to show both together.

OlderThanMe Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 AWESOME!!! He must go through a lot of tire with the amount of flatspots and rubber he lays down...then again a set of tires only has to last a couple miles right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OlderThanMe Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 check out the sound of the Audi at 3:30 in this video: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators BRAAP Posted January 6, 2007 Administrators Share Posted January 6, 2007 AWESOME! Phenomenal piece of driving. Driver has Gonads so large he has a wheel barrow just to carry them around… That is an excellent example showing how quality shock/strut valving helps keep the tires in contact with pavement even under EXTRME conditions. Definitely justification for $1000 per corner dampers… (I wonder if Ron has seen this one yet…) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OlderThanMe Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 I wish I lived in the pacific northwest where they actually have rally racing...all we have around here for offroading (off pavement) cars is ferraris going into ditches and fence posts... No SCCA rallying or anything. If there were I'd have a gravel and mud eating monZter!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators RTz Posted January 6, 2007 Administrators Share Posted January 6, 2007 (I wonder if Ron has seen this one yet…) Nice vid. That one made its rounds on S14.net a few weeks ago. I have a few more E30 M3 vid's. If someone wants to host them, I'll share? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dtsnlvrs Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 I had the opportunity to buy a Euro Spec E-30 M-3 when I was stationed in Italy...but as usual I procrastinated and lost out. Actually there were so many neat cars I coulda bought over there and missed out on cause as soon as I was ready to drop the money...something new would catch my eye. As far as tires go OTM, they change them after every stage...I would get used "blacktop rally rubber" for pennies on the dollar in 23x10x15 every year when the rally circuit came through, and then use it for auto-x on base or open track days at Hockenheim and The Hungaroring Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cygnusx1 Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 He was driving stOOOOOOpid fast! The car looked amazingly stable the whole time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marduke Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 Amazing driving. One thing that blows my mind is the spectators on the track just asking to be run over. I don't care how good you are, one little "whoops" and you just ran over 4 people. Their legal system must be a lot different then ours. I could just see this in the states. Some idiot standing on the track gets run over and every one would be sued into oblivion as they didn't have proper security to keep the morons from hurting themselves. Awesome vids though.

Administrators RTz Posted January 22, 2007 Administrators Share Posted January 22, 2007 I stumbled on this video of predominantly E30 crashes... Apologies for the 'music'... tacky and contains some explicit language. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZbJ2SORaBUQ&NR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
283VZ Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 I stumbled on this video of predominantly E30 crashes... Apologies for the 'music'... tacky and contains some explicit language. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZbJ2SORaBUQ&NR at 1:47 & 2:37 do they flipover with pure G-force/enertia, if so that's cool,or is the rim digging in? Some of those crashes remind me of the need to have a working emergency brake. I hate when a car "pushes" in a turn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
