Hello! Lovely motor... I'm a huge rally fan myself - I've done a fair bit of Road Rallying in the past and try to make it to either spectate or marshal on as many events as I can, which isn't many these days sadly  |

Err... nothing particularly exciting:
(not in order)
Mk2 Scirocco
Austin Metro 998 x 3 (!)
MG Metro Turbo
FSO Polonez (!)
Lancia Beta
Mk1 Golf GTI 1600
Mk1 Cavalier 2000
We had our greatest successes in the Metros oddly enough. The year I won an ANWCC Championship Trophy (I always navigated) we used a 1.0 yellow Metro bought for £75. We always got laughed out of scrutineering - "the spectator parking is round the back hah hah" yet it's funny how many full-on RS2000s you can overtake going up an ice-covered hill track... The RWD power boys were too busy over-enthusiastically hanging their back-ends out and spinning off into ditches whereas we'd stick to flat-out-45mph and sail past merrily ;D ;D ;D

I cant wait till I start rallying. I was talking to one of the founders of rallye-info.com, and he reckons the best way to start is get into a local club doing co-driving then move on from there.
What do you think?

What do you think? Sounds like a great idea. You can navigate at 16, so get your license application sorted! Non-race national B I do believe ;D Ignore all the know-alls who say that Road-Rallying isn't proper rallying... But stage rallying is somehow considered more "serious"... Definitely get down to your local motor club and get involved. Some motor clubs are more rally-orientated tha others, whereabouts are you? Even if it's just marshalling, it'll give you an idea of what's required, and it's good to see how an event works from "the other side" too. |

road rallying or autesting are good start points. Road rallying as it is good experience for navigation and autotesting as its a good cheap way of improving your car control. Its also a good way of trying out your car and make sure nothings gonns break
