It's rare that you'll find well edited driving videos set to music that's actually well suited to what you're seeing (Linkin Park never feels right), but here's one of the exceptions. This tribute to rallying has been up on YouTube for a month, so maybe you've seen it, but if not, take the five minutes. There's footage here from old times to Group B, Group A and today's WRC, and it's all edited together with love.

Can someone post the actual address for the video? I'm viewing the site on a cell phone at work and can't get the hyperlink to work properly. Thanks for helping me kill time!

The Rock was a great movie, I knew that music sounded familiar.
Wicked editing, wicked footage, thumbs up all around!

Actually, I think the song is from Gladiator. I know Hans Zimmer wrote it, can't remember the name though. Hero's Welcome or something like that?
