Rally racing on Xgames

Anyone watching this? What are your thoughts?
Im a big fan of WRC and this is like watching lil kart racers jumping into F1 cars...
they make stupid mistakes and the course isnt all that great and exciting...
the announcers talk about drifting too much and none of the technical driving strategies that WRC is all about.
this rally racing was nascarised. adding big jumps so there could hopefully be a crash -____-

this is why there are NO americans in WRC and F1! (Scott Speed no longer has a seat in the 2007 season[he sucked anyways that lil punk])

haha so wat are ur thoughts?

I think it's nice to see Rally getting some exposure in the US even if it is a watered down version. I think Pastrana is going to focus on rally after this X-games and it would be HUGE for rally in the US if he could ever make it to the WRC.

McRae is the man, did you guys see him keep going after that roll like he had just lightly bumped something? What a man! Props to pastrana for showing what looked like genuine good spiritedness.

Plus I love seeing 06 STIs like my own (even if they get mashed up ) McRae's yellow one was kinda cool looking in that color. My only question, WTH was that TIBURON doing out there?! What comes next, a Rio? An Isetta?
