Here's an old Top Gear video where a F1 car driven by Johnny Herbert races a rally car driven by the world champion driver Colin McRae. And to put everything into perspective, there's an (old) Ford Cougar. Of course, it isn't a fair race, so the street car gets a huge lead. Guess who'll win?

Trabant was a popular East German car, during the Cold War period. It was spread in all communist countries in Europe. Today cars are built by robots, and have aluminum/composite bodies. The Trabant was made out of pressed cardboard (not joking) and was literally hammered into submission. They just don't build them today like they used to Enjoy!

Well, the crash itself is very spectacular, but watch what happens after it. Guess I would be pissed off too, if I were in their shoes!

The car industry is tough. If you want to develop a name, you have to be the best in something. The car battles take place in motor-racing. Be it Formula1, World Rally Championship, Touring Cars, FIA GT or even Nascar there is a fight going on between brands. These car battles take place on the circuit, but the fans have a strong word too, carrying these car battles to the auto forums . Here you can see one such car battle. Enjoy

A rally car misses the photgrapher by inches. What's even more amazing, is the fact that the guy stood still, and didn't even try to make a run for it. He sat there as if he new the car wouldn't crash the concrete fence. Anyway...dramatic! Enjoy!

The funny thing about all of this is that the driver actually survived. That just goes to show you how far you can go with safety roll cage, a 6 point harness, special Recaro driving seats with lateral support, and a racing helmet. Yes...you can literally fall off a mountain with it! Just watch!

Wow. This rally driver was hard on the accelerator when he reached that jump. This made his car stray of the road and hit the trees in midair. Luckily the guy was used to it. He's reaction is brilliant!

The transfer of data will be hundred of times faster than that by radio waves. The promise is made by the first tests conducted by a German institute. Receiving images in Google Earth or photos of the Hubble telescope in real time may soon be reality. A German institute has experienced a communication system based on lasers which will transfer data at a rate one hundred times higher than that possible with radio waves. The technology was developed by researchers from the Fraunhofer Institute for Laser Technology in Aachen on the company's Tesat GmbH & Co. under a project funded by the German Aerospace Center (Dlr).
