    I'm wondering what that classic has for an engine. At the very least it has a cross flow head See the 4 intake holes in the bonnet? Zoomy!

    Hillclimbs are the real test of ones attachments.

    Twice the speed of a rally and twice the danger level!

    Why so? Not knowledgeable about hill climbs, so what makes them worse then a rally?

    Was that blue car in the beginning #106 a Renault Alpina? Kinda rare aren't they?

    That gold Porsche #65 in the beginning wasn't connecting very well.

    Rally cars are limited to about 300HP whereas these hillclimbs will have open classes with unlimited HP.

    Just watch the video and see the different classes of cars.

    Click the prompt at the end of the first video it will take you to the 2nd video. There is a 3 series BMW that seems to have it's act together.

    And no flappy paddles on that one, just a gear lever. Reminds me of the video of Senna going around Monaco basically one handed cause of the numerous shifts needed per lap.
    Abso"effing' beautiful.
