The guys had a very simple choice in life, this or decades of being strapped down in a room made of rubber.



Props to them for making the right choice.

I like the video, excellent editing skills.

Before they eliminated WRC Safari Rally in East Kenya due to terrorism threats and budget cuts, some of the cars would reach 200mph going flat out. There is little footage of this, but I remember this clip (1:21) from Tony Gardemeister's SEAT Cordoba WRC which had a steering rack design flaw during its campaign in which it's best performance came from the straights.

In addition, the F1 cars exceed 200mph at Monza Circuit in Italy and Shanghai.
