I was at the Los Angeles Car show quite a while ago and Renault had one of its rally cars there. It constantly ran a video on a huge screen showing it during a rally run, the video was shot from the back through the windshield showing the instruments and the driver and co-pilot. It was snowing, you couldn't see a 50 meters ahead on the mountain road, and they were going around some of the corners at over 100kph..... I was amazed. Every now and then I see a restored rally car at local car shows. They generally get a lot of attention because they are really rare in the USA.

I remember seeing a few here and there but they did not catch on with the general public. I always wanted a Le Car back in the 80's cuz of the name Not very successful in the USA.
