Toomas Heikkinen Involved in Terrifying Crash at X Games RallyCross Event (Video)
Rally car racing is already a motorsport prone to spectacular crashes, what with all those little Hyundais and Ford Fiestas all jacked up and zipping around bumpy dirt race courses.

The 2012 Daytona 500 got off to a bit of a shaky start, didn’t it? For a while there, it was starting to feel more like a Major League Baseball game than a NASCAR race, with fans having to wait out not one but two rain-delays. However, once the race actually got underway Monday, we [...]

We have asked this question before; why is it that people are allowed to stand so close to the track during rally car races, with so little protection guarding them from the possibility of being hit? And once again, such questions resurfaced after a scary incident during a race in Spain, where a mother and [...]

Subaru’s are good cars in a lot of ways. They can be raced at high speeds and have had some success. On a personal use level, they are affordable and quality automobiles.

Total Pro Sports – It is surprising that this doesn’t happen more often in rally car racing, as the drivers fly down narrow streets at blistering speeds or around tight mountain bends.
