    That looked like a lot of fun, if also a little scary.
    I'd love to do something like rallying, however you need big balls to do it competitively, with the buildings and the blocks and the trees, and err trees.

    That end section looked like someone was enjoying themselves too much to let up off the throttle

    It is not hard to get into rallying, atleast on an amateur level, you can improve very quickly. But if you start with a quick car it is very important to either have a very experienced co-driver, or to start slowly and be careful in the beginning. Luckily I havent met any trees or blocks, but the rear end likes to hang out so the occasional "guard rail tap" is inevitable

    And yeah that last section... I try to keep sliding to a minimal to improve my stage time, but the car does not like to go straight haha

    Yes, good eyes! This is the Szilveszter Rallye, its a quite famous event in central europe. There are 2 stages, one that runs on the ring and the service roads and one that runs on the roads around the Hungaroring.

    You should have seen the fans last year. There was a section where they were standing on the road and only left seconds before the cars got there. It was just like in the old videos. That feeling driving through there was amazing.
