How A $500 Craigslist car(bmw) beat $400K rally racers
 

Professional motorsport is a cold, hard place. If you want to run with the big dogs, you can't just build a car in your mom's garage and show up, right? Wrong. One guy did just that earlier this month. Here's his amazing story.

This is amazing! Thank you for posting.

Awesome feature! E30sFTW!

Madness. Love it.

Definitely awesome, do want :D

Good for that guy, awesome performance! LOL @ how bent that chassis is in some pics!

can anyone find the official result standings for this?

I read that earlier today, that's just amazing how a car like that could even come close to competing with WRC cars. But I'm curious about what class he was in and what that loophole was in the rules.

I wonder what class they entered

Wicked, is it time to build Richie's shell into a Targa Newfie, car???

What an inspiration

Its not a $500 car, its an E30!!! And everybody know that E30 owns all....:D

...that would be sick. I'd like to do that race at some point in the future

Yes the 5th thread about this.

LOL we will see what comes of my shell....this guy did do it in a 318i FTW
