The 'go rallying' pack is largely a rip-off but contains the form you need so you have to have it (I guess it's a similar situation with the 'go racing' pack for the circuit racers). The test itself is part written, part practical - not sure how beneficial it is really? After all you can go rallycrossing on a non-race national B licence and there's no test for that.
Then of course you add the cost of everything else you have to have - overalls, helmet, hans. You need to throw away perfectly good seats and harnesses every 5 years even if they've not been used (ok so you can sell them to circuit racers or track dayers - but that just highlights what a stupid rule the lifing is in the first place).
So even without the car cost starting out in rallying is by no means cheap - that's the main barrier to entry I'd have thought. Good fun though
