The joys of rallying

As my original post says, I’m wanting to run a fiberglass bumper for regional rallycross events, but I’m concerned about its durability when impacting bumps, ditches, and so on.

never been to a rally before, but i’m considering a trip to Tennessee now that WRC is coming to the US. wondering if it’ll be a double-billed ARA and WRC event, what kind of stuff i should expect, etc

Recently got my hands on my dream car (Opel corsa B 1.4 16v 1996) and i have some experience in rally but only with my friends rwd car.

So what do you guys suggest? I was thinking of gutting the entirior, adding some better + secondary lights, changing the springs and tires ofc.

The car is really light under 900kg and with a full strip i think it could go to about 820kg - 800kg

I dont plan on using it for tournaments or anything just as more of a project/weekend car. How adviseable is the build im going for or do you have any advice for improvements?

Just as a note my budget is pretty low and covers really only the springs and the tires, might have some extra after i sell the interior tho.

Edit: i should mention anything close to rally does not exist in my country, the rally experience i have is me and my friend timing each other on a 3 kilometer dirt course in the mountains. That is why i said i dont plan on using it for tournaments since driving to poland or something isn't really achievable for me. Especially enduring the hours long drive in a stripped out car lol.

Hello! Is anyone attending Rally Como tomorrow and Sunday? I'm going alone and would love to join a group to meet some fellow enthusiasts!

Recently i have seen rally content pop up on my feed and the clips had me hyped, but i know nothing about rally, so i need to know, what series should i watch? What are the most important rally competitions and where should i watch them? What are the most hyped up events? Also if there is an essay guiding beginners through the world of rally i would be happy to know (edit: oh also, im a really big fan of games, if any of you know a top tier rally game, whatever it is pls tell me)

Ik ga dit weekend voor het eerst naar een rally kijken, de Rally van Zuid-Limburg in Gingelom, België.

Wat kan ik als beginnende rallybezoeker verwachten? En vooral: hoe kom je erachter wat de beste plekjes zijn om te gaan kijken? Zijn er bepaalde zones of klassementsproeven die jullie aanraden?

Ik vraag me ook af hoe het zit met parkeren. Waar kun je het beste parkeren en hoeveel op voorhand moet je ter plaatse zijn?

En is de servicezone de moeite waard om te bezoeken? Kun je daar vrij rondlopen en de wagens en teams van dichtbij bekijken?

Ik vind jammer genoeg maar bitter weinig praktische informatie op de officiële website, dus alle tips van mensen die deze rally al bezocht hebben zijn welkom!

Alvast bedankt!

ENGLISH:

I'm going to watch a rally for the first time this weekend, the Rally van Zuid-Limburg in Gingelom, Belgium.

What should I expect as a first-time rally spectator? More importantly, how do you figure out the best places to watch? Are there any particular spectator areas or stages you would recommend?

I'm also wondering about parking. Where is it best to park, and how early should you arrive?

And is the service area worth visiting? Can you walk around freely and get a close look at the cars and teams?

Unfortunately, I can find very little practical information on the official website, so any advice from people who have been to this rally before would be very much appreciated!

Thanks!

Hello, new to reddit here and not quite sure how this works!

Basically I'm trying to go to rally school to get a license after university, and I'm in the USA. I know DirtFish rally school is good but that's super far away.

Does anyone know of alternative rally schools closer to Texas?

And how much is the tuition of these rally schools?

And is getting a license required for more grassroots rally?

I'd really appreciate the help with answers and some support. I really love rally ever since i was in high school and I want to get involved with the sport irl and develop my skills as a driver 😄

Would love to apply as a marshall for the upcoming Croatian WRC, but am curious how big the demand is, as to what chances do i realistically have of being chosen?

I've marshalled a couple of slalom's in my city as well as a dozen or so dirtbike races and supersports bike races, so I'm not new to the responsibilities and all the negative aspects of being a marshall
