I am pretty sure that Formula 1 and NASCAR drivers reach much higher average speeds than their motorsport counterparts in the World Rally Championship and other rally challenges, but it's one thing racing on a professional circuit with all the safety precautions that come with it, and another to do so on unpaved paths in the wild.
If you are willing to let your ears take some abuse (or just lower down the volume if you don't feel up to the task), you can enjoy a crazy ride in a Peugeot 206 racer driven by Beppo Harrach at the Waldviertel Rallye in Austria.
The 33-year old Austrian Rally Champion (in 2011) navigates through an extremely tight path in a forest reaching speeds of up to 227km/h (141mph at 1 minute and 9 seconds into the video).
