Looks like they were widening the road and they had to race on the shoulder. Someone is a real sadist.

Sucks to see vintage cars damaged by stupid course design with NO WARNINGS.

Makes the Robin Hood Rally courses seem well thought out.

I love the guy backing out of the winter wheat with the track workers running first at than away from the scene. Like trying to help a wounded animal. I bet the course designer had FTD knowing he would park it for the sequance and the fast guys would all rip cars up. He may even work for the electric Company. This is where the internet may help note to self "Sports Car rally is a great way to trash a car" It has no redeaming value. When you play it back it looks even worse that in did out the wind screen. its akin to monstor truck shows and WWF.

That's what I thought when I read the thread title.
