This guy is nuts
 
OK, rallying is inherently dangerous but driving on dirt roads in a tin can (Toyota Starlet) at this pace, without notes is plain nuts:

No notes?

He has a co-driver...

Damn! That car has to be pointed off the road at least 50% of the time!

That engine sounds horrible though...

You can also hear the brakes squeal at every turn in the second video.

Finnish F-groupe is a cheap-scate rally group where most of the time you never get the time to scout the course...thus most of courses are driven w/o notes and on pure balls.

Driving without notes is much more fun, and a huge challenge. Too bad the liability weenies combined forces with the "we can be just like Europe" weenies and now all U.S. rallies have notes. :(
