Rally stages are known for their use of challenging roads and tricky corners, but have you seen anything quite like this part of the 2018 Rally del Rubinetto?
The space between those buildings looks to be just barely wide enough to fit a car, and we're sure the corners of those walls were at least a few different colors at the end of the stage.

I spent some time in a small town in southern Italy for one job I was on. There were roads like this all over Italy, always in the very old parts of town.
They had enough room for a Fiat 500 (Cinquecento), the real ones, not the modern American version, and pedestrians.

Love how the dude is just looking at the car while holding his drink.

What people in this country don't understand is that's a main road!
Seriously, there were roads around where I grew up that your average British double decker bus would brush the greenery on both sides as it went down them. I just looked it up, they were around 100" wide. I just checked a Super Duty dually for comparison and with mirrors they are 105"
I just looked up WRC car max width and it's 1770mm, effectively 70", I'm not sure if that's with or without mirrors, but it makes that gap looks like it can't be more than 85-90" width!

The echoing off the old buildings must be glorious in person

I thought that was how the scrutineers checked for maximum width and maximum wheelbase!
