once I can get used evo for ~$5K I will probably try to do some rally. For now however, I will stick to Road Racing. Ive already turned my new $35k car into a track car, and with my noobish rally skills, I would probably hit a tree on the first turn.. lolz

Also if you get a good co driver then you are golden.
If you really think about it, since you CANT start with awd turbo, i suggest to get a used FWD rally car from Special stage web site . The best way to enter in the rally. dirt cheap and very very fun to drive.
Also will set you up for the AWD turbo platform. /driving style and Technic/
I dont know how long or how many events you have to do in 2 wheel drive before you can get a license for AWD turbo, but you might never even will change . Like many many guys dont. And i know a place where you can get all the knowlidge for start, maybe a car and work done.
Once you do one event in rally , you will NEVER look back. It is just that simple. The rally is MUCH more fun then any other car race, period. Not to mention the people and the whole community.

i love rally.
no my car, but the one in HD. lol
i won't recomend to anybody to even try it unless you have a few millions in the bank as a backup. just look at the numbers
per the Discovery chanel:
a regular Subaru STI is what? $36,000
a WRC subaru is 650,000 euros, yes, almost a friking million dolars, just the automatic trasmition, is a 250,000 euros. plus a 40 million budget for the entire team to win the event.

The rally is born because the mid class people . And LIVES because of them.
Yes the top 20 team is way out there , but they sponsored etc.
The 200 -300 cars running in an average eu rally not run buy 2-300 millionaire.
So as here. There is a lots of people who drives in the rally and they are NOT millionaire. That is why they have classes.
The WRC try to be snobby with the rally. That is why they dieing out. Besides no more turbod WRC car any more ...
The new rally group is the IRC where you can see everyone running.
On nationla or local events you can run it . You dont need a lottory ticket.
Why you guys think you need millions to enter the rally????

alright , stop this need millions BS.
Every motor sport if you want to big, you need a big money, period.
For start you need a junk rally car which you can buy from the net, around 3-4 k. And the racing suits etc. which is all Motorsport requires anyway.
So you put around 10k in the rally and you can start. /just like if you start the Miata spec race on road course.../ with local events.
You dont need a great car, most likely will crash anyway in the beginning. Dont buy anything big until you did your first roll over LOL basic rule
Every rally driver rolled they car at least once.
So from there you need to maintenance your car, and go to the events. Like any other motorsport. Thats all.
Why you guys talking about something what you dont know?
/to race the evo is expensive, but as a beginners you cant run an evo anyway/

by the way talking about miata ...

There is one form of motor sport that the Evo would excel at; Rallycross. This is a circuit sport, half tarmac half dirt. Unfortunately this sport doesn't seem to exist in the US. If you want to know what I'm talking about search for "lydden hill" or "martin schanke" in Youtube.
I'm a big drag racing fan but for the life of me I cannot fathom why anyone would buy an Evo to DR. Its like having sex with a sheep; yes you can do it but whats the point.

Auto-x FTW ( for me ) but If my buddies goes to the drag strip then I'll go just for kicks and put some time in also. But I also would like to do TA/HPDE and NASA etc. I am more of an auto-x kinda of guy because I am still a noob but that's just my thing and maybe 1day step my game up, but I would never rally my baby ( that's just me ) But I sure do love to watch hill climbs and what not. It is like hockey I watch it for fights. Rally I watch it for the crashes
and some people sit for hours just to watch a nascar go round 'n round and for the winner to do a burn out in the end to show who has the bigger ***** and who they daddy is like Ricky Bobby ! ......( but that's just me )

I cannot fathom why you'd run an Evo X in autocross... there's cars for half, **** even quarter the price that will spank or at least keep up with any Evo in most autocross courses. Don't even get me started on what they call "technical" courses either... that's a synonym for "10mph" courses

There is basically unlimited rules for the whole car /so be competitive you have to go at least 500 hp and tq/ and you WILL break and crash something at every event.
Not for average Joe with the Evo. Just for the start basically you need a spare car
