is there a technical reason? Advantage in starting? I guess it's not just "it sounds good"...

thanks

So in games you have like stages with fog/snow/rain etc. but what about real life?

First of all, are there events in rally sport where pilots compete in bad weather "on purpose" or simply they decide that they can race even if the weather is bad?

What i mean is: ideally the weather should be good, or sometimes events look for bad weather right for that competion?

Or it's all a coincidence, and in some places the weather is probably more bad that in other places?

Hope you understand what i'm trying to say

thanks in advance

Is it for keeping the car from moving?

sorry for my ignorance

Like, Group S and after that...assuming that accidents never occurred (in a parallel universe i guess) the cars would increasingly be more powerful until today? Always improving, until they looked nothing similar to a car?

Or i'm missing some point and safety was just one of the factors?

thanks, sorry for my ignorance, i'm just curious about very complex topics that i probably know only superficially

I was wondering, was there ANY kind of rule about people not standing too close to tracks, and things like that?

Because i'm not saying that it's possible to control an entire track but when people die, usually you take some kind of prevention and if there's wasn't any rule, logically given the nature of the sport and how the cars behave, you could expect serious accidents, maybe not today...but another time, you know. (obviously i'm speaking knowing that's happening, probably at the time they thought it was safe enough??)

so it's on the crew being dumb/too excited, but how much in terms of rules changed and why they didn't (if there weren't) apply rules before about people standing on corners/track?

Sorry for my ignorance, just a thought i had

Well, I’ve decided to launch a podcast about the history of rallying in America. I’ll be exploring American stage rallying, its over 50 year history and the stories of those who made (and make) rallying in America so great. Kickoff will be in early 2025. For updates check out my instagram account: @rallying_in_america ~ Jim

Hey everyone, I recently stumbled across this photo and wondered about this thing. Does anyone have informations about the Seat Toledo rally raid car?

Hey guys I'm a 17 year old student from the UK, I am a proficient driver and have driven for years in racing style, and I want to do rallying, my parents are giving me the opportunity to pick a car to buy so I decided a Subaru wrx sti (older gen, range of 2000-2007) for rallying in group N, but the original reason for my decision was it's heritage and I loved the cars since my childhood. Is there any way I can gain credibility in the rallying scene? And what's the best way to learn rallying, schools or just through abusing a relatively cheap car around rally tracks? I'm from Lancashire and I don't know of many clubs near me but I don't mind being a co-driver/marshal to be able to get networking etc, especially since hopefully at one point in my life I get to group2 or the wrc.

How to start rallying. There is no formula for “how to get into rallying”, and I find it quite difficult finding information on how to do it. I would be really thankful to all of you if y’all could give me some more information on how to do it. Also i am from Bulgaria which i believe makes it just a tad bit more difficult to get into rallying simply because there is almost no information about upcoming events nor what is needed to participate in them. I am determined to reach my goals and to become a rally driver. I have raced a kart a few times before and almost set a record on all of the tracks i have driven on if that is something that should be noted. I would be really really thankful to any kinds of tips or other important information. Thank you!

Anybody have any info on tickets for spectators to spectate at the rally this year? Or any good tips about spectating ?

Hi I know nowadays the standard steering wheel diameter for modern wrc is 32/33cm, also I think old rally cars (group B and group A) used 35cm wheels. Can somebody tell me when the transition between this sizes was made?, with what generation of rally cars?

I'm an alltime begginer into rally, been pretty enthusiastic but i'm so confused about how to find upcoming races to watch

I'm thinking of replacing my OEM struts in my 08 WRX. They're probably as old as the car is, and I suspect they have either already failed or are at the very least not operating at peak efficiency. As such, I'm looking into a set of gravel coilovers. I'd want to spend ~$1500, but I'm not opposed to spending more or less, especially if there's a must have brand.

So far, I've seen Yellow Speed Racing mentioned a few times as well as Feal (although, they don't seem to make actual gravel coilovers?). KYB struts have also been on my mind, especially in regards to a more budget friendly option. The car would be dailied, but also rallycrossed and autocrossed. Adjustability and rebuildability would be great as well, but not inherent must haves.

Would love to hear input on how other's gravel coilovers feel as well.

Hey all I've been reading through the various Rally Organization's regulations and rules, I'm uncertain as to what is allowed. I'm getting ready to start a dedicated build and I am uncertain as to what I am allowed to compete in. I'll annotate the build below.

It would seem I could do ARA Open and Limited 4wd, NASA 4wd, and RA Open and Super production, but nothing in the FIA classes? Any help deciphering rules and regulations would be greatly appreciated.

• 1984 AMC Eagle (2-Door)
• 4.2 NA Inline 6
• 5 Speed Manual (AX-15) w/ 4x4 transfercase

It seems it has been since 1988 that a AMC Eagle has competed in an official rally series, I think it would bring some nostalgia back with a spicy old build.
