Full throttle is a very dangerous thing to do with competition cars. While games like the Need for Speed series and GP3 don't exactly teach you that, GP Legends does and Bernd Schneider does too...
Carlos Sainz is fighting the steering wheel... but why? After all, this is the Corsica rally, where the car should be driven with great finesse...
Schumacher with long red hair? What is going on? Malaysia 2000, it was...
3 New Videos! Racing Galore: from Schumacher to Sainz...
There are three new files @ the videos section. These files are very high quality realmedia files, encoded with Real System 8 @ 580kbps. You'll need Real Player version 8 to enjoy them - get it free from here.
You can download the videos in ZIP or RM formats. In order to download the files, you should use your right-mouse button and choose "save as" (otherwise, you'll be activating the file from the server, meaning that it will play as it downloads, and you certainly don't have a dedicated 580 kbps pipe to this website).
Because some lamers have been stealing videos from my website, from this day on, I'll be stamping most of them with a "http://arturmarques.com" logo. Why don't I stamp them all? Because it is somewhat time consuming to do it in RM files...
So, here are the files... (read below)
Bernd Schneider spinning A LOT, with his touring Mercedes, at Hockenheim / Germany, commemorating his 2000 DTC Championship win.
Just observe the amount of rubber the Mercedes lays on the track! This is a must see file, for those of you who insist that GP Legends, the PC game, is NOT realistic on the simulation of the 1967 F1s, because "the cars spins very easily, when you full throttle them"...
If you ever drove a really powerful car, you do know that full throttle is a dangerous thing, contrary to what many "simulators" - like GP3 - show you.
File ranking: ABSOLUTELY MANDATORY! You don't know what you are missing...

Carlos Sainz escaping a very serious accident at the 2000 Corsica Rally.
Corsica is a mountainous island in the Mediterranean Sea, with an area of just 8500 square km, still enough for one of the best rallies in the world. To be honest, the Corsica Rally is my favorite, due its narrow, fast and dangerous roads, that really defy the drivers' courage... One mistake here often translates in severe accidents - at least severe enough to put the competitor out of the event. Just check how LUCKY Carlos Sainz was, when driving at ~ 200 kph.

Michael Schumacher doing some red-haired comments on his win of the 2000 F1 World Championship.
Malaysia 2000 finally gave Ferrari and Schumacher what both fought for, for years. This time, they deserved it, after investing the highest sums ever, on F1... Of course Schum was lucky on many occasions, when the Maclarens weren't reliable, but luck is a MUST on everyone's life, and it sure represents one of the ingredients that makes a F1 world champion.
File ranking: FUN! You'll have a good laugh!

Is there a fire? Oh oh, you really don't know what you are missing, if not downloading the Schneider file...
200 kph in such narrow roads can be bad for your health. Carlos Sainz was so, so lucky this time... Another must download file!
Schum again - sorry, but his video doesn't leave me much room for imagination...
