Two questions:

Most definitely Lincoln/Pearl. At the start, the video was shot from inside El Burrito Loco.

You're not kidding about how hot those Camaros get. Andy Lally torched his foot last year in one when an exhaust manifold broke right by the firewall. The firewall gets crazy hot (also true of the GTLM Corvettes) anyway, but the exhaust dumping directly on it gave Lally second-degree burns, IIRC. I think that might…

Is there chance we'll see the Falken Tires Porsche at Le Mans in the next year or two?

Meh. If you've ever worked on racecars, you've probably been in this position a few times.

All racing is expensive, even the "cheap" kind. As they say, the only way to make a $1 million in racing is to start with $10 million.

If you pay for a full season, that's $8,400 in entry fees alone. You can buy a car for probably around $15K-$20K. Assuming you already have a tow vehicle, I'll estimate putting about 10,000 tow miles on it; at 12 mpg (which you might get if you're lucky), that's about another $2500. You'll need tires, spare parts, and…

Video now on WRC FB page:

It was on Los Mexicanos stage, right before El Chocolate.

Seems plausible.

Most of my information came from WRC Radio interviews with M-Sport and with Tanak later. Mucho credit to Becs Williams and Lisa O'Sullivan.

The great irony—which I find hilarious even though I'm day late to the party—is that you have probably about 800 times as much actual racing seat time as the street racing troll calling you a keyboard racer.

Hypothetical: You can only run races for the next year at either the Nurburgring or at Bathurst. Which track would you pick of those two?

In the 1950s, the SCCA used to hold road races on a temporary circuit made out of public roads just across the Susquehenna River at Brynfan Tyddyn, about eight miles from the Giants Despair course. They'd run road races at Brynfan Tyddyn on Saturday and then the Giants Despair on Sunday.

Because the Internet knows how to drive this car.

I've written recently about how there really aren't any amateur car races held on street circuits in the U.S. anymore, but you can still race karts every year in downtown Rock Island, Illinois.

Is it an SC300 or an SC400? Either way, it has hellahorsepower.

They also sanction the International Hillclimb Championship and some others. Here are all the FIA-sanctioned series calendars, actually, if you're curious:

Good question that I have no answer for. I would guess no because of safety reasons? An uphill brake failure can, with gravity and a whole lot of luck, come to a stop on its own without hitting something.

Like a good rally driver, the best part of this is how little steering input he makes. Straightening the esses in the first minute of the first video is great, but even fairly tight turns, he's hardly moving the wheel even 30 degrees.
