Street circuits in motorsport are the best. Stav-Fact. Races that only happen once are generally awesome too, as it usually means it turned out to be a bit too mental/dodgy so they wasn't allowed to do it again. And this is both that, a very little known (as was only done once), but very cool street circuit race event in Ireland, on the streets of Dun Laoghaire, back in 1986. Street circuits often use big, wide roads, much like a conventional race track. But Dun Laoghaire is just a small town of

Rally co-drivers are usually pretty calm and their job is just to read the pace notes out to the driver clearly despite the car going absolutely flat out around insane roads and tracks. But not all are like that lol. Irish co-drivers tend to be the most entertaining, and this guy isn't calm, he's frantic as hell, pretty much screaming out the notes from start to finish, with some extra added swearing just to make it better. When race cars go full EV and there's no good engine noises anymore, the

Not cars for once, but still absolutely mental. Twin turbo boat (BIG turbos too- Holset HX80s by the looks of it) racing jet engine'd boats at 160mph at times, even cornering at 130 . The different camera angles make it awesome to see and looks like certain death if it all goes wrong. Also check out the water spray coming back out the turbos when they come off the gas a bit (also looks like maybe at times its having 'turbo shuffle' which you sometimes see on-throttle with twin turbo engines). No

A 650bhp, 217mph, 5 valve per cylinder, big 4 four door Audi? Sounds almost normal in 2019, but this was 1986! The Audi 5cyl turbo engine from the 1980s is a race and rally legend in both ten valve and twenty valve form, but did you know there was a twenty five valve, ie five valve per cylinder, version? Incredibly rare, the first ever five valve Audi engine, super cool, and it's what powered this beast. The car was called a Audi 5000 CS, though it's what most of us in Europe know as a Audi 200,

Massively ahead of it's time and mega under-used- The Ford GAA V8. All alloy, quad cam, 32 valve V8, with 4bolt mains and a flat plane crank- A spec that puts many 2017 engines to shame; but it was first produced in 1940 and is 18 litres! Here's one in Brazil some mad man has converted to EFI, coil-on-plug ignition, and added twin GT45 turbos! | Stav-Tech

WRC cars are pretty insane these days, the wildest they've been since the days of Group B, and here's a compilation of clips of them doing what you don't normally see- Warming up and checking out the tyres and brakes before the next stage; ie dicking about...! Also, check out the noise of the R5 Skodas as they spool the turbo up before they launch, one hell of a turbo whistle...! | Stav-Tech

When you absolutely, positively, got to drive up a massive sand dune as fast as you can, accept no substitutes- Insane 6cyl Nissan 4x4s with gigantic turbos! This one is a proper feast for the eyes and years, so full screen and speakers up! Once upon a time we bought a short wheelbase, 2door, manual, RB30 engine, Y60 Nissan patrol, in the metallic red colour like one in this video. I wanted to make some ridiculous fast thing out of it, but the same 'glass half empty' 'friend' that convinced me t
