I love this vid, probably reposted many times
I have watched this video so many times its unreal.
The famous bum clenching moment is at 2:10ish. Just watch it from the start though
Its Ari Vatanen showing how you do it back in '83.

Track days ARE the best thing since sliced bread, until I get a supercharger that is!

Fantastic!
Reminds me of the video of his then Pikes Peak winning run in the 405T16 in Race to the Clouds. Im sure it was him (couldve been Rohrl) that took his
hand off the wheel to shield his eyes in the low sun at high speed on gravel with a 2000ft drop a few feet from the car!
Must have boll*cks like bowling balls!

Also watched this a few times and many other Ari videos. What always gets me about him (and other top level drivers) is the calmness they exude.

That was Rohrl and also a fantastic bit footage.

AWESOME !
Love the pitch change in the co-drivers voice as they almost stack it into the cattlegrid. Proper driving that.
I spent a lot of money on booze, birds and fast cars. The rest I just squandered.
