It is possible because passion overcomes morons who rely on technology and clichés like whoever makes those stupid WRC official videos. Its possible because hard-core fans know what winds them up and so that's what they film: the CARS being driven hard...While TV people think we want to see how cool THEY are..so they have to play with the camera and special effects and randomly and constantly go to super-super-slow motion inexplicably, or speed up the action "to make it more exciting" and in general show what great artistes with the camera they are..
Everybody wants to be a hero..
