Ralph Kosmides rallied a Supra stateside for a while, SCCA ProRally, and maybe CRS.

same jump, same car brand

I'm thinking It's legit and the photographers just happened to shoot the same jump in different years. If you compare the two photos everything is different: the snow cover on the mountain, the position/clothing/number of spectating locals, the cars' shadows, even the rocks on the ground. That's way too much to change…

I imagine we've all said something just as silly, but if he spent the time to write an essay about it and decided to post it online, I can't understand how he couldn't step back and just say, "That's me, I was an asshat." Or better yet, nothing at all.

i think they have the rights to the name so it's still a dakar rally. for me though, not THE dakar rally. i share your sentiments and hope one day they return to where dakar really is. :)

Friend just bought an i8. It is the most insane car ever. Everything about the car is amazing. I honestly don't have words.

if every car was designed to be rallied, there would be a Yaris with the engine in the back and producing 300 hp with gigantic fender flares, and this is what a GTR is meant to do. Rallying, not sitting in a porn producers garage, only to be used for those idiotic "girls reaction to 1000 hp GTR"

plus, OPEC putting the hurt on Russia is a side benefit...

I guess it just wasn't so plainly obvious back in the day. This is something I would expect from Top Gear USA.

That would be like 50+% of top gear, even the old ones. They just had more energy or smoother editing about it or something so you didn't notice or think to ask. And all things considered it wasn't that bad. It was wholly believeable that yes, a bunch of idiots who don't use GPS would end up in swamps and stupidly…

The English version.

The shitters full.

Anyone else feeling like playing some SpinTires?

You got a better chance of talking to the planet Pluto.
