@TKO – lucky guy! I would have loved to see a Group B rally! And yes, a second is a lifetime. I remember feeling like I would offer my left leg for those last 2/10ths which was the difference between mid-pack and a podium. Over 20 laps (or more) it really adds up (I always ran sprint style races with no pitstops) – that would be a 4 second difference over that distance.

I actually linked to that very same Ariel Atom video in a previous edition of Lap of the Blogs – love anything with Jeremy Clarkson.

I might get a chance to test a newer F2000 in a few weeks, and I will try to bring a camera and make my own video for a future lap of the blogs.

I look forward to your Racing Vids on every Friday. I grew up spectating Rally Racing in Europe, was even fortunate to see 2 Group B races as a kid. Isn’t it amazing what a split second equates to on the race track. For instance in Drag Racing each .1 second is equal to a car length. Please folks keep it safe and don’t street race.

YouTube is jam packed with racing videos, some are better than others though. Here is my favourite of Ariel Atom:

Thanks for the link. I liked the hesitation before the F1 car blew the others away at the end.
