Hey everyone,

I’ve been a fan of Formula 1 for a couple of years, but recently, I’ve started diving deeper into the world of rally. I’m an italian screenwriting student working on a school project for a TV series, and rally feels like the perfect motorsport to explore—both for its storytelling potential and because it seems more feasible (at low/entry level) to produce compared to F1. I feel that the whole Circus, even in F4 for example, involves too many elements that would raise production costs to an unimaginable level, because the ultimate goal of a young driver of F4 I guess it's to compete in F1 and I just can't allow myself to go in that direction.

The series should follows a 25-year-old mechanic struggling to keep his family together while secretly dreaming of something bigger. When he crosses paths with his younger half-brother (Same father, different mothers) —a rising rally co-driver—they find themselves forced to work together, despite years of resentment.

I’ve been reflecting on how philosophical speculations about facing life as a race on a track resonate with me. I believe it would be fascinating to tell the story of these two brothers who, despite hating each other, have to race in the same car to achieve their goals. However, I need to explore their intentions and objectives deeply inside and outside the track, as I have to convince potential producers (in this case my professor) that this story about half-brothers can only be told through the world of rally.

To make the story as authentic as possible, I’d love to hear from rally fans:

• What, in your opinion, drives rally drivers to take on such extreme risks?
• Are there any great interviews, books, or documentaries that capture the mindset of these athletes?
• Any personal insights on what makes rally unique compared to other motorsports?
• Would you watch a series with these premises? (However, I should take care of making it original. I’m just at the beginning of this project)

Looking forward to learning from you all—thanks in advance!

A little Subaru sketch this morning

genuine question since I'm new to the sport, but with only 3 teams competing how did they not win a single race during 2024? The data from the years before that also doesn't seem too good. Is ford m-sport just not competitive?

Which one of the French Seb`s are actually the GOAT of WRC/rallying?

Personally, i would have to give the edge to Loeb, i just think he was a slightly more complete driver than what Ogier is.

What yours take?

Trying to get into rallying, and I want to get a half decent roof mounted light bar (preferably halogens and not LEDs), but I can’t find anything decent on google. Anyone have any recommendations? I drive a 2010 Chevy Cobalt if it helps at all.

I have no knowledge on how to rally or what to do to get started, but I want to. I have this legacy I want to use to get started. How should I get started? What mods should I start with?

So I found a 2009 lancer gts that will hopefully be going on auction soon about an hour away from where I live (no where east texas) and I have been wondering if the GTS would make a half decent rally cross car for someone completely new to the sport or if I should just keep looking

Tja, är sugen på att bygga en rallybil till ungdomsrally då jag kan börja tävla om några månader. Har kollat på en opel corsa 2005 som jag är sugen på att bygga om. Farsan min jobbar med svets och har några polare som är mekaniker. Hur kommer man undan så billigt som möjligt utan att tveka på säkerheten i bilen? och vad kostar det att regga om personbilen till en rallybil? den ska vara helt tänkt för rally också så ingen vanlig väg användning Tack för hjälpen i förhand!

If this is not allowed in the sub, mods can delete. I am wanting to attend one or maybe both of these rallies this year, but have never been to a rally event and know nothing about parking or anything. Any advice about what do, how to spectate, and what to watch for would be greatly appreciated!

Edit: I may also be in the area for the 100 Acre Wood Rally, as well. So any advice on that one would be nice too.
