That was fun to watch

long, but fun. Those rally fans are nuts. I would never stand that close to a road, much less on the road, with cars travelling at those speeds.
 
Very nice.
Too bad they did not mention the X1/9 prototipo (at about 39:40) when the project was cancelled by Fiat in favor of the 131 and Lancia Stratos.
In fact the 2000cc (2 liters) X1/9 prototipo could not be homologated as a group 4 car for international rallies due to the fact that it was not based on a stock (production version) 2000cc X1/9. Only 1000 produced would have been sufficient.
Even Darniche (Stratos driver) told the X1/9 prototipo was better than the Stratos because it was lighter...
Anyway the Stratos is a beast: 38:20
