DAMN what a machine!!!

 

Isn't Walter Rohrl the chief test driver for Porsche? He's got to be good.

 

wow..that was awesome..he was left foot braking, rev matching and everything...

 

if he lost control for like 1 second he would have taken out like 100 people. so dangerous but an amazing driver

 

That was cool. Some of the spectators were asking to die.

 

those people are nuts

 

tight work

 

what's he doing when he is pumping the throttle?

 

Adjusting power for changes in the traction?

power and traction must be changing pretty quickly... if i pumped the evo gaspedal like that nothing would happen. well maybe in first gear, but...

looked like my 1967 cougar when it didn't want to start in the winter: I would pump and pump the gas while cranking until it started.... LOL

 

he was steering with throttle input.
your evo would react too if it were on in higher rpms range and especially in slippery conditions like on dirt or snow, like in the video

 

Those Group B cars were just deadly fast.

Literally.

I have had the debate with folks in the past and I respect the talent of many drivers in their given form of motorsport but I still feel that rally drivers are as good as it gets. The level of control they have over cars on roads they don't know with limited traction at unreal speeds is beyond impressive.

 

I just wish The audio matched the video
