I wont clutter up that music thread anymore than I already did (as a joke), but I think I found a "sport" that I actually think is exciting (or bats... insane, although it probably looks more dangerous than it actually is).

It's just hard to believe when you see stuff like this:



I'm not much of a "sports"-fan but this is actually pretty crazy.
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Yeah, sorry. I've never really been betting on sports but this crazy have me in its grip now. For once in my life I think I'm gonna bet some money on this insanity:



I'm done now.
 
More dangerous as a spectator than contestant.
I have seen videos....

Yeah, the places people stand scream to high heaven! "OK, we're behind a cattle gate". That'll make a difference for sure, even though it's right before a car turns 40 degrees with 193 km/h (possibly flying, and on single track gravel .). :woot:

EDIT: And possibly in the middle of the night!
 
I like when they fly through the air and only manage to correct in the last second. I also find it funny that there's no speedometer or tachometer. The only information the driver's shown is what gear he's in and I bet he knows that by heart.

EDIT: Ah well, sometimes there're those blue lights warning him thta he needs to change gear, but I bet he's not even looking at that. I wouldn't be!

EDIT: In fact, the most hardcore driving happens at night. Problem just is you can't see much. Seriously, I'd pull the handbrake and jump out while p...... my pants (that is if I could loosen the strapons. I bet they're pertty effective.)
