the stuff I like is the 80's ralley stuff, Rohrl's footwork is amazing
the courses narrow, hilly, varying surfaces: snow/dirt/asphalt, desert, mountains, etc.
the cars, 2000 lb, 500-700 HP, awd
many F1 drivers, Schumi, Kimi, Senna, Lauda, etc., say the best drivers are ralley drivers
I love F1, been to >30 races, but the ralley stuff is more like 'real driving'
