Those fiesta's rock I had 2 growing up as a teenager (unfortunatley not like the one in the video)and I beat the heck out of mine .They have no weight and were front wheel drive. I took mine everywhere I mean everywhere if I got stuck I could actually pick up the back end and put it back on the road.They handled awesome just pointed the steering wheel in the direction you wanted to go and floor it.Got awesome gas mileage too.I sure would have hated to get in a wreck in one. I imagine it would of been just a speed a bump to a big old pick up truck.

Shazam!! That looks like a lot of fun.

I used to win gymkanas against street cars and dune buggies at local parking lots with my class C racing kart, but it wouldn't do that stuff. Did do a lot of tail wagging, though.

Seems to me that requires the same sort of skills as World Rally Racing. Watching those guys is a lot like this demonstration, except they do it for hundreds of miles in really rough country, asphalt, dirt and mud.

To me it sure has that sound of a Mazda Rotary in it. Before boating, that type racing is what my brother and I was into. My wife and kids never really got into it, so I took up boating which all of them enjoyed more. But boy do I miss having fun like that.

I teach an advanced high speed tactical driving class to law enforcement officers. I thought I could drive, until I watched these videos! Wow!

Re: So you think you can drive!

That's great. I saw it a few months ago and at the end he doughnuts until the tires are completely gone and he's on the rims. Great stuff!
