VIDEO: Watch Anders Grondal tear through Sweden in a Suzuki Swift.

I've always admired the art of the rally driver. There's something about their seemingly innate ability to navigate rough terrain on narrow roads as their co driver spews out a slew of directions in a flow of numbers and turns as he tears through the mountains that seems to keep my eyes glued to the screen. It's one of those things that, while I believed that I may have been shooting for pro on my Xbox, I don't quite have the on road experience to back those claims in real life - for the record, if any rally drivers happen to read this pokey little motoring blog, consider this a formal request for a ride along, or a driver's seat experience (Ken Block, I'm talking to you) - but let's get to the meat of why we're here.

Anders Grondal is a fresh face to the world of professional world rallying. His family history is littered with rally drivers, suggesting that the sport runs in his blood, which means its no surprise that he set his sights on winning the Norwegian Rally championship and hill climb 10 times. However, it wasn't always like this for the 30 year old, because - get this - in his younger years, he never had a particular interest in cars. In fact, despite contrary claims that some of the world's best rally drivers start hitting the dirt as soon as they could see over the wheel, Anders didn't take interest in racing until he was 16, soon after, entering his first race in 2003.

Now that young Anders has his chops in the world of rally, he decided it was time to step up his game and join the big leagues. So he took to his Suzuki Swift and, thanks to YouTube user Fredric Aasbo, we were able to sit in the driver's seat and catch some footage of Anders's rally prowesss as he demonstrates the level of concentration needed to tear through the snow - covered hills of Sweden. Watch those hands shuffle the steering wheel - it's like Michaelangelo taking a brush to his finest work.
