Default Vintage Mustang beats Porsche, wins 4300K rally

I'm not too knowledgeable on African rallys, but these photos of the cars going thru rivers, etc. are spectacular.

I think you can just click the X in the popup that requests registration.

Is that IRS I see?

That style of racing is interesting. I never would have thought someone would race with a vintage stang. I wonder what mods were made to the car, like if they are running a v8.
