And the adrenaline of a WRC driver driving down windy snowy roads at night in speeds 4 times faster then the road is designed for must be amazing
They all take different skills and deserve respect in their own right. I'm just as impressed by someone who can successfully pilot a 1200 rwhp beast down a 1/4 mile track on a 10.5" tire (if you've never been to a 10.5" tire Outlaw race, GO! You don't know what you're missing!) as I am by someone who goes flying around dirt corners while dodging goats in the road. They're both cool as shit IMHO.
