On the surface, a Rally Race seems pretty simple. You start a stage at point A, drive to point B, and try to do so in as little time as possible. You add up all your stage times at the end of the Rally, and whichever team drove the course in the least amount of time wins.
If only it were that simple…
Rally Racing is a team sport in the purest sense. The success of the car is just as dependent on the crew as it is on the driver’s skill. The Driver and Co-Driver have to navigate the course as quickly as they can, regardless of road or weather conditions. And no matter how the car comes into a service, it is the crew’s job to make sure that it leaves ready to attack the next stage.
Rally Racing is likely one of the most challenging forms of motor-sport today. If all goes well, it’s still no walk in the park, and just about anything can happen to push the driver’s and crew to its limit. But rising up to meet the challenge of each new event is what keeps the teams coming back. And there always seems to be a new group of people that want to test their metal.
The Flatirons Rally Team has definitely had its share of up’s and down’s, and the 2008 season was shaping up to be a very good year. Even though we have always video-taped our races, we decided to bring our a documentary film maker with us to the Oregon Trail Rally in May to capture more of what goes on behind the scene’s.
The Documentary we put together includes a lot of Rally footage, and interviews with our Driver Stephan Verdier and Co-Driver Scott Crouch, as well as Driver’s Travis Pastrana, Ken Block, and Kyle Sarasin. This Rally ended up being the deciding race for our season, and we just happened to be lucky enough to catch it on film. For better or for worse.

The X Games is a commercial annual sports event, controlled and arranged by US sports broadcaster ESPN, which focuses on extreme action sports. The inaugural X Games was held in the summer of 1995 in Rhode Island.
The Winter X Games are held in January or February (usually in January) and the Summer X Games are usually held in August, both in the United States. Participants compete to win bronze, silver, and gold medals, and prize dollars. The competition often features new tricks such as Tony Hawk's 900 in skateboarding, Anthony Napolitan with the first ever double front flip on a bicycle and Travis Pastrana's double backflip in Freestyle Motocross. Concurrent with competition is the "X Fest" sports and music festival, which offers live music, athlete autograph sessions and interactive elements. The location of the Winter X Games is in Aspen, Colorado through 2012, while the location for the Summer X Games is in Los Angeles through 2009. The X Games also has international competitions and demos around the world that are held at varying times throughout the year.

But if muddle and jealousy win out, nuclear proliferation, not restraint, will be the norm—to enduring regret all round.

That was a very interesting video there it is very well captured how a rally car works how it cohabits with dirt and how it drifts with passion.

Another tip also is to lessen the production of racing cars. Seriously, are we so bored that we need to kill quickly the earth for us to be entertained?

I don't know about you, but the end result of the filming looks fine to me. Rally races have a special appeal to an on-looker, wherein you really have no clue what will happen on every turn. Awesome documentary! Keep it up!
