Bill Caswell, an unemployed Chicago racing freak, entered the Mexico round of the World Rally Championship in a 1991 BMW 318i that he found on Craigslist. The car cost $500. One year ago, Caswell decided that he wanted to go rallying with Rally America. Two months later, he crashed a car and blew up an engine five minutes into his first event. Four events later, he found a loophole in the FIA rules that let him enter a twenty-year-old car in the same event as guys like Ken Block and former F1 driver Kimi Raikkonen.

I saw that on Digg yesterday, awesome article and story. In all fairness, he wasn't actually racing the WRC event, it was another event that happened at the same time/in the same place. Fucking cool though.

WRC is so ridiculously awesome, I wish they'd bring it back to UK terrestrial TV. Right now all we get are crappy highlights from some random channel on Sky, what the fuck guys. I used to be a WRC dude (big Subaru/Solberg fan) until F1 took over for me... judging by how the first F1 race went, I really want WRC back on TV.

Offtopic, guys, are there any sites which broadcast WRC live? We don't get coverage of it in Greece
