Total insanity but fun to watch. No idea what those guys are using to produce power but they look nippy  |

Well they seem to fall over quite easily don't they. All very entertaining watch though.
The perfectly timed screen shot also had me thinking there was some sort of crackers jump involved to.

Brilliant stuff! Looks like the rules state rear engined and high centre of gravity

Youtube brings you to a bunch of these vids. From what I can see, its Amateur Rallycross in Finland and a Fiat 850/133 is apparently the car to have. Stopping the vid mid roll, it looks like most have stock 850 based suspension and gearboxes with a Fiat twincam swap. ( so not completely unlike what Abarth did, when they built their 124 powered 850's ) But apparently they also have the freedom within the rules to weld part of a VW backbone and rear suspension in. I bet its a lot of fun... |

Outstanding entertainment...... Do roll easy don't they! Dunno how old that film is but the "shell consumption" seems to be quite high - perhaps they use something else as their weapon of choice now as all the little Fiats have been dispatched to Valhalla?
