Sigh. Still one of my favs, always a dream car of mine … I had 3 R5s, but never the Turbo. In my next life perhaps. Double sigh.

This is awesome! A great piece about an under rated car that I’ve always had a soft spot for!

It may sound dumb but why every race/ professional driver drives sooooo close to the steering wheel? Does it make easier to control the car? The guy on this video, his knee is almost in front of the speedometer.
