    Samir Thapar, aka the guy from everyone's favorite meme of 2013, "You're Breaking The Car, Samir!" Turns out, he's actually a legit rally driver, along with his codriver Vivek. The video we laughed at, doctored. And us laughing at them ended in a defamation case and an arrest of the memelord who made it.

      India has a pretty large motorpsorts scene in general. It has produced two notable F1 driver in K. Chandhok and N.Karthekeiyan, who managed a 4th place finish at the 2005 US GP (albeit with only 6 finishers), and later went on to win a DTM race at Fuji, it has two major tracks, Madras and the F1 venue Buddh. As with most countries, they are more than happy to allow car racing as long as it's on a closed course. In F1 especially, it gave the country and various sponsors lot's of exposure.

      @@onepunchman6165 I can't really speak for India, since, well, I'm not Indian, so I'm not sure how good their infastructure is, but in places where racing is popular, they set up clubs to organise and host legal events in places like car parks or disused airfields where they're aren't restrictions on what car can enter, thus meaning anyone with a license and a car can enter. However, I'm not sure how the government would deal with this, since I heard that they refused to class F1 as a sport and put it as entertainment instead which meant the track owners could no longer pay F1 up, meaning the track was forced to leave (correct me if I'm wrong here).
      India seems to have a lot of passion for motorsport, and with exposure and a massive potential audience of over 1 billion, it seems odd that governments don't really want to get behind it. But then again, I'm not really a politician, so what am I to say?

    Vivek was a co driver for Malaysia's flying Sikh, Karamjit Singh, who is a rally driving ace. To say he is a legend is an understatement knowing a great length of challenges he faced throughout his rallying career. Consider running a video about his story, and believe me it's worthwhile.

    As a native of Colorado, it is my duty to state that the car driving off a cliff at 5:28 occurred at the 2012 Pike's Peak International Hill Climb. That 125mph left-hand turn is called "The Devil's Playground", and it's nerve-wracking to drive at 30mph. Driver Jeremy Foley survived after his Evo rolled something like 14 times down the side of the mountain. "Jeremy, you're breaking the car!"

Not taking stuff you read on the internet seriously is pretty much reinforced by everyone constantly, including the internet itself, hence I am baffled that there are adults with jobs who leap into conclusions based on a random post on the internet instead of doing any proper research first.

    Bruh I'm impressed with the pronounciations! My uncle built parts of the team that built the cars raced by Samir. It's a now defunct firm called Red Rooster Racing here in Bangalore. The dude is immensely skilled. I remember the time he had brought out his Novitec Supercharged Ferrari F430. The thing sounded wicked n he had it floored! This was around 2013 or so and a time when supercars were a rarity on Indian roads, let alone being driven hard. We also happen to have a goddamned almost 200% import duty on imported cars. So something like a highly specced SVJ is almost 1.5 million USD here. Samir also has a Superformance GT40 in the Gulf Livery amongst a dozen or so tasteful exotics.

But what's unfortunate n engaging is that they've now had over half a decade to do exactly that n have gone on to become titans that have acquired foreign automakers such as Jaguar, Land Rover etc yet they still very strongly lobby the Govt to keep the import duties that way n it's highly unlikely to change. In the late 90s they went on to ban the import of cars older than 3 years into the country So if you love vintage or classic cars, you just can't buy one abroad n import it in unless it's to be kept in a museum n can never be registered. If I remember correctly, the Philippines has it even worse with 300% import duty.

So if you took a raw video and removed everything that wasn't fun to watch, and you're not not splicng phrases/sentences to fundamentally change their meanings...

    soooo, he isn't actually a rally driver with 20+ years of experience since he started in 1992, retired in 1997 or whenever - couldn't really understand from the video since you mention he retires in 1997 but then you also say "it wouldnt be until 10 years after that, in 2013, that Samir would finally lace up his racing boots properly" (he returned in the Evo in 2013). If my math checks out - what happened in 2003? Somethings off with the timeline, or there is just missing information in the video about his carreer. Either way he started in 1992, finished in 2016, but if you are retired for half of that time period, it doesn't mean you have 20+ years of rally experience :D
