RE: Chris Harris video: BMW rallying
Discussion
Nobody had mentioned how dangerous those old E30s are. What about the poor rear axle?
Seriously though, another great video. My tip to anyone interested in driving...do the same. However if you are just interested in cars, which is fine, continue to buy technically amazing cars and drive them at 2/10ths of their abilities.

In my opinion the E30 has one major problem, way too many turns lock to lock. Occasionally I would get...lost, where is straight ahead again? Not good. Fly in to a corner off the throttle, oversteer starts to develop, let go the steering wheel, grab the wheel again, add a little more lock....yee haa...now where was straight ahead again?

Brilliant video, really enjoyed that! I find myself fantasising about taking my GT3 on a rally track... hmm probably not a good idea...
Then it will have to be in France, Belgium, Germany, etc The MSA aren't enlightened enough to allow them over here. They would much prefer you to rally a boring shopping trolley!!So are we to expect an entry in the BMW Challenge then?? And there's Tarmac action at Epynt....
Ahh, that takes me back to when I started rallying - borrowing knackered trailers, tow-vehicles breaking down, inadequate preparation - all great fun!
If you thought the practice was fun wait until you do a real event, that's a whole different world!
Think I'll have to get a rally car again, I keep looking at buying a really good road car, like an M3, but you just can't use it properly on the road. Track days are OK, but no substitute for real motorsport.
