Aside from having to be reasonably adept behind the wheel and familiar with oversteer, in order to be a successful rally driver you also need to be able to switch off part of your brain.Not being brain scientists, we don"t know exactly which part. We suspect it"s the bit that asks, is this a good idea? I don"t know if this is a good idea? I don"t think this is a good idea." Yeah, that part.Case in point, the video above.During the shakedown of Rally de Ferrol in Spain, the man behind the wheel of a Porsche 911 rally car had obviously disengaged a significant part of his brain in the name of speed.While approaching a crest in a road with a blind right-hander hidden beneath it, he kept his foot to the floor and the flat-six screaming on his approach.
