Hello Ben... Long time No Hear. How the SPRINTER?
Quote: | The use if FWD and 4WD cars at rally australia has more to do with there not being any current homologated RWD cars around the world.
|
True, and how many cheap FWD are there that can be picked up and be competitive for your average Joe? None, everyone want no less than $10-15K for a crap condition late model, So that's why there are many RWD Datto, Gemini etc out there, and prang them, well, You'll be given a new shell for nothing... thousands already built and ready to change hands.(Except the 1600's)
Quote: | does anybody see a patern ??
|
Yeah....90% of the top ten Race NSWRCC, But you could include the wog's(carlos') son who's been doing this since he was a baby...
Quote: | for pure fun factor
|
The Fun is Getting out there and actually do a real rally... Like Traveling down a dirty road, at 160kph+, Not worrying about cops...Traveling down track, which are only as wide as your car, such that, the trees are removing your paint... Coming into corners, flicking it, trying to setup the perfect entry, missing big arse rocks, tree....Starting to understand?.... Throwing any car around in these event's are the fun bit, and learning to keep them on the road is the other... socializing at the pub afterwards is even better! Getting Questioned By Neal Bates, well? He found out a few thing's, I found out a few things and I was very grateful he forced the 20V 4AGE issue for my model and got ARComm to pass it... was very impressed by the report, So watch out Ben I'm in You class next year!
Quote: | wanted to be competitive then i would got the RWD
|
Why? It because this is only what you have driven at high speed?
This will not make you competitive, heck, having AWD still doesn't make you competitive, It's knowing your car's characteristics is what makes you competitive, trusting everything is ok, and your technique and driving style suiting what you have built...
Quote: | i see very few FWD cars
|
True, Cause they cost more cause there newer..
Quote: | And lots of datsuns.
|
Cheap, and usually get passed around ie Michael Feruglio Datsun 1200 use to be Nigel William's who, taught me the finer points in Rallying, He sold this after the demise of The Group 7 motorsport Championship
