Globerunner513 Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 As if this story wasn't already over-the-top awesome, the co-driver is HALF BLIND!! Here's the second half of the story, as told by the co-driver: http://jalopnik.com/5500013/i-co+drove-the-500-craigslist-rally-car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
260DET Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 (edited) It was a great adventure, pity the writer sexed it up to the point where the article is quite misleading. Parts like "entered the Mexico round of the World Rally Championship" are simply untrue. 'Don't let the facts get in the way of a good story' journalism. Real facts are something like this. The rally concerned was a locally organised Mexican rally confusingly called Rally America run concurrently with a leg of the WRC. So there were two separate and distinct rallies run together on the same course, thats it. The results of that rally are here http://www.rallymexico.com/content.php?page=rally under the Results - Rally America tag. The car concerned appears to be in a class called 'open', in the one PDF file I opened the BMW was the only car in that class. Anyway I don't mean to detract from what those fellas accomplished, its just a shame that it was reported in such a way that may reflect badly back on them.
