r/rally

Hello all,

I'm signed up as a volunteer for tech inspection for the Oregon Trail Rally. Does anyone know what that consists of? Does that mean there will be a head tech inspector and I'm checking off things on a list as he goes or what exactly is it?

Thanks

Is it usually this bad? The YouTube live feed was almost like watching C-SPAN. The Instagram page, apart from JML updates, didn’t really post stage updates. Just meaningless collaborative posts. I get that ARA isn’t the WRC but is it really this much low effort when it comes to attracting a larger audience? I want the US to be a successful WRC event host one day but how do we step it up?

Hey everyone! Anyone have any info on the 1974 Total International Rally in South Africa? I’m looking for any pictures, articles or anything. I know that it started in Pretoria and that Ove Andersson and Arne Hertz won.

Live in southern us and I’ve been having my eye on rally racing for a while now. Think I’d be a fun hobby and a good incentive to learn more about driving & cars in general.

In regards to what I’m looking for in a car, I was wondering if such a car exists that is viable to be a daily car and can be used for rallying, affordable/ market price (<= 15-17k), preferably awd/fwd, preferably manual or modifiable to be, relatively easy to work on and purchase parts for.

I doubt that such a car can exist that line up with all of my preferences due to my lack of knowledge and from what I’ve read, it seems that having a daily/rally car is hard. Experience, input, advice, etc is greatly appreciated.

Do note that this is would be my first purchase of a car and If the decision of this kind of car as my first one is inadvicable compared to just getting a good reliable daily car please say so.

got an impreza that id like to build for dirt/ gravel. currently the suspension is stock. how much worse will my handling be on regular street turns with the dirt build compared to stock. worse i’m assuming. thanks yall
