Rallying – Is it an obsession?

// April 24th, 2010 // Racing, Rally

People wonder why I find rally so amazing and why I try to find ways to make it a part of my life everyday. As a spectator, there is nothing more exhilarating than watching man and machine trying to conquer nature at speeds most wouldn’t even dare to attempt. Its the rawness of a car. It’s the focus of driver and co-driver, and the ever changing environment trying to trick both. Its that fine line between a podium finish and a DNF. It’s that hope you have when entering a turn and the pride of successfully conquering it. Its the feeling that when you finally finish the last stage and the car is on its last leg and you, your teammate and machine come out on victorious.

That is why I love rally. That is why I love being a spectator. That is why I want to someday compete.
