I can't agree more: Way back then in the 70's , the noise was such that you could hear cars coming from miles away. Coupled with the lighs flashing in the mountains at night this was sheer excitement event before the cars were within sight.

However i believe noise is one of things that needs/will have to be eradicated the most for the sport to survive. This is what "authorities" want and it has already killed night rallying. Keep in mind that not everyone is a fan, alas ...
