Ok, so here at the "All classes" forum we have been given the job of talking about Rallying (Probally to stop us talking Combe and Minis )
So, What do we know? Who do we know? Does any one here rally?? Let us know and we can have a little chat about it |

Last weekend a round of the Australian Rally Championship was held near my home so i went and had a look. The event was held entirely on gravel except for one tarmac stage, the Noosa hillclimb was used as a special stage. The event proved popular with spectators as a very big turnout was there to see the action. Of course the two WRC cars in Australia dominated the event but most spectators also seemed to enjoy the Group A and Group N cars that followed them. Most popular however were the Datsun 1600 PRC cars at the back of the field, a huge cheer went up every time a Datto went by, i was in heaven.

Don't know much about rallying... Apart from when my girlfriend bought me a day at the Silverstone Rally School (well done bird!!) It's more difficult than it looks... and then this pro took me out in an ols escort around the special rally stage, he scared the living poo out've me!!
But now I have Eurosport, I get to see lots of it - including Aussie stuff, with Possum Bourne et al. |

Good to see australian rallying getting some overseas coverage.
I know a bit about rallying and finally went to rally oz last year. Not sure if I'll be able to go back this year, depends on circumstances which worked really well last year but I doubt they will this year. Dattos always get a cheer up in queensland..that's why I bought one..well a Nissan Guest is going well. He'll be driving a Hyundai Accent WRC in a few rounds including Australia and one more event in the old F2 Coupe. |

I have a 'Nearly Works' Mk1 Escort that I hope to have ready b4 the end of this season. I ran a Corolla Coupe in some club events a few years ago, which was a heap of fun.
I'm marshalling in Rally New Zealand this year. I'll try & do some words afterwards & tell 'yall about it. |

I'm not actively involed in rallying (apart from changing tyres) but had the opportunity to sit in the passenger seat at two rally sprints,the Ashley rally sprint (Kev will know that one)which is a uphill,downhill windy sort of thing,the fast guys do this track in under a minute,and Mt Thomas which was about 2 minutes now this may not sound very long but if you ever get the chance take it and you will see how hard these guys work.
