Default WRC?

Does anyone other than me think that rally racing is the most intense type of racing ever?

I would have to say so, with Indy/F1/open wheel as a close second. Unlike any other form of motorsport, with Rally racing you don't so much have to worry about hitting moving vehicles traveling at 200mph while you travel 202 mph, instead you have to worry about plowing into trees at 100+mph on loose dirt. A little more risk involve and car control required.

I'm also gonna have to agree here... my thing is totally different, but without a doubt, rally requires a lot of skill, precision, and luck. it's also a real hard test on a car's durability.

Rally is funny, especially when the cars hit a deer or rabbit or some other animal

no... it really isn't. I don't like to see animals get hurt or killed.

I don't know if it's so much a tree-hugger issue as far as rally is concerned so much as it is a safety issue.

yes, but she said she doesn't like to see animals get hurt so I'm inquiring about her beliefs

I don't think it's wrong that I have respect for nature and life. That's part of being a human. I'm sorry if you don't see it that way. but what you said poses a risk to the drivers of the cars in the raylle as well, just like mesarius said.

If you respect nature and life then why do you have so many cars that's destroying nature and life? PARADOX!

Cars don't destroy nature and life... only uneducated people believe that. Man contributes 1/30th the amount of CO2 that mother nature does... an even smaller amount is because of cars. And who said carbon dioxide was bad to begin with?

Wouldn't you like a lot of cars? Wouldn't you want to respect other living things?
