Pastrana broke his record for the Mt Washington hillclimb. Apparently it's just been added to iRacing which is pretty cool.

Bit of a niche one ( and rallying of course), but this is a really cool promo for the upcoming Rally Finland. With a huge cast of Finnish former winners, a bit of comedy, and a bit of a tear-jerking moment towards the end.

I absolutely love that people go and race stuff like that at Goodwood rather than have them sat in a barn or museum.

I've seen that S76 a couple of times at the Prescott Hillclimb. It's amazing! It's about 5ft high and the cylinders are so big you can hear them firring individually :) The owner is great too, he'll chat for ages to anyone who wants to know about it.

I've also seen that Darracq driven by the guy in the white helmet with the red cross. He absolutely rags it. It's got a brilliant patina on it as well, it's all rust and oil :)

It is very cool that they race them.

It's a little off topic but North of where I live is an aero engineering company that make parts for vintage aircraft, mostly WW2, and they export all around the world. They have their own aircraft like a P-40, which they push hard and rebuild as needed. It's awesome when they take her for a spin. I love it! :vibes:

Geebus they go up to 10 in the pace notes. I'm used to maximum 6 in Dirt 2.0 :D

Driving at that speed on those roads in that car. I don't think so.

Great audio though.

Nice though it is I'd call that borderline wreckless to be honest. A couple of times he only needed to meet someone coming the other way and there was a big accident waiting to happen. I wouldn't necessarily call that a good promo video.
