"With this race, because it's so long, you need to be on the lead lap and in the race with a stint to go, and then start being a little more aggressive ... If you can stay on the lead lap, we have a fast car, and if we're out there, we can be in the top 10."

Jari-Matti Latvala Epic Day Off Rally Video

WOW!

Having spent a bit of time on a paved racetrack over the years, I know how exhausting driving a race car can be. What race car drivers do looks simple enough on the outside, but inside the vehicle the drivers getting both the mental and physical workout. From this video, it appears that rally drivers who race off-road get an even bigger workout.

This is an amazing video of professional WRC driver Jari-Matti Latvala on his day off participating in a historic rally. Two things are clear from this video, Latvala can drive and he's got big gigantic balls. The car is apparently a five-speed Ford Escort RS 1800 and it's stupid fast in the dirt and gravel.
