I went to a rally race with my best friend a few years ago and got hooked. When I told my mom she got mad at me and basically said “girls can’t race” I’m more determined now. This helps
thanks man, Im a Kid that just got Addicted to Rally Racing Immediately by watching Rally and by Playing its games. And I hope im gonna do this when im already an Adult soon
I started as a mechanic on a rally team, then I got the chance to get in a car as a co-driver for a couple of years, i'm now really interested in becoming a rally driver, i've tested couple of cars, got some seat time, do you think i still need a experienced co-driver? they are not cheap around here... great video!
You already have experience as a co-driver, I think you are good. You already know the logistics of that first rally. I think you just need to find someone willing to do the job and has a strong stomach.
But the fun thing is, that you like your mini and you enjoy driving it. Im buying a mini next year and I'm going to just strip it and put suspension and all terrain tires. I do food delivery and streets where I live, Massachusetts the roads are horrible. So that's why im going with a mini,not so long for parking and its like a go cart.
Finally doing my first race soon at Thunderhill in my Camry. I might keep it in stock class just cuz she's my daily driver, but I am pretty excited! Of course I put a better sounding muffler on, though. Been interested in rally since I got a Sega Saturn for Xmas way back when with a demo of Sega Rally.
i just got a sim wheel and i’d say i’m a pretty amazing beginner rallycross racer. rallycross or gt3 has been a dream of mine for a year or two now, and i’m 14. i know sim racing isn’t anywhere close to real racing but hopefully i can learn a little :)
What age should you start at? I’m 15 atm and wanting to become a rally driver and i live in Sweden. I am currrently looking at some volvo 240s, but my family isn’t so supportive.
I'm pretty sure any age is fine in Sweden for grassroots events like rallycross. Whenever you can get your hands on a cheap car that's a common platform.
In Italy we have a very cool rally category called "Racing Start", Racing Start's are litterally stock cars with a setup and safety measures. And it's a super low cost category, a car can cost €5.000 and €1.500 for a rally. Too bad you can race these only in italian rally's who are not FIA certified :(
Hello I am from India and I love rally racing didn't even watch a single race just watched few clips on wrc insta account I fell in love with it I am going to watch it from the 2022 seasons throughly. My questions: 1) Are there any age restriction on rally racing, what is the good age to start rallying? 2) Are non-local people allowed to enter rally? Those are my questions. I like this video it is simple and clear 👍
Good advice!! As someone in the UK - if you wanted to build your own rally car I'd definitely have gone for an original mini Cooper over the modern BMW built version 🤣🤣
Step 8. Play a shit ton of dirt rally 2.0 or WRC. If you can afford a steering wheel with force feedback, cool. If not, even just a controller will do. You learn a lot about how a car should feel while rallying it. Learn to control your car.
How often are the race events? I keep looking around and I can only find 3-4 events nation wide.. and they are a few hundred dollars to enter. Rally ready is the only thing close to me but they do not hold any actual race events and cost $300 for "free run" track days when they decide to hold them. I want to start racing but paying $300+ for a single event three or four times a year does not seems steep after hearing you say its $30. How do you find events? Thanks!
A lot of the 2020 season was canceled, unfortunately. Also unfortunate for you is if you are in Texas, you are in the worst place for US rally. Nearest stuff to you is probably the Missouri rallies (100aw, Show Me, and Missouri Ozark), rally Colorado, and Gorman Ridge. Check out ARA's website and Nasa Rallysport. On the plus side, I know there are rallycrosses happening in Texas, but I'm not sure where in the state. Check out scca for those
Love the video man! we are doing a stage build our self. Our first rally is going to be Sandblast 2019! Keep up the content. Going to sub, follow us for some fun videos with some rally videos coming.
Man I got a pt cruiser 5sp I've been driving for about 3 years now do you think it's worth taking it to the stock races just to see what time I can put down I've never raced on a track but run backroads a lot
Absolutely. If you are in the US, check out SCCA's website. See if there are some rallycrosses near you. You can even do it in your stock daily driver if you wanted to.
Unfortunately, you won't be able to drive in rally but there are probably volunteer rolls you could do, I just doubt they would be anything on stage. Maybe look into some sxs racing. I know there are junior leagues out there, I just don't know how many and what restrictions are there cause I'm not involved in that scene. I would say start emailing organizations asking what you could do for them. That's going to be the best way to find out.
Good news for you. ARA just lowered their age limit, yesterday, from 16 to 14. You will still have an issue driving, because a license is required for that. However, this opens you up to co-drive if you can find a driver willing to take you on.
Go to the rally organizer's website. They will have a link or contact address. Here is 100 Acre Wood's website, and you will see they have a tab for volunteers. www.100aw.org/
If you are in the uk, contact motorsport uk (formally the msa) based in slough. ask them where your nearest motor-clubs are, contact them and go to some of their meet ups. Some are more active than others in different motorsport disciplines, but all will give you important information to send you on the right path.
Yes. A cage is definitely required. There is a high chance of crashing or rolling your car in a rally, so their are a lot of safety requirements. Regardless if you are in the lowest class or the high budget open classes, the safety requirements are the same.
HNP Racing how much would it cost to set up a rally car on a budget? I have an 08 Subaru Impreza 2.5i hatchback I want to use can I just build my own cage? I can’t find any for sale and I’m assuming buying one would cost more then I paid for the car
@@mikefawc22 You can build your own cage, but I wouldn't do it if you haven't built a cage before. You will have to be very familiar with the rulebook and you need to be in touch with a scrutineer as they will probably want to inspect your welds. These aren't bolt in cages used for rally. You can have someone cage the car for you, I would budget at least $5000. You can easily spend $2k -$6k on suspension. And easy to nickel and dime $4k in other equipment. It can be done for cheaper, but it will take more work. Check out this video, czcams.com/video/zVlPU4Gxh3M/video.html
Whatever sanctioning body you go to (ARA, NASA, CARS, etc.) the most entry level classes still allow a lot of modification. There is decent freedom with the suspension and brakes, but the engine still has to be fairly unmodified. If you are interested, you should go to the website of a sanctioning body and read through the tech part of their rulebook.
Depends on your country. In North America, check out the ARA, NASA Rallysport, and CRC websites for stage rally and SCCA for rallycross. There is also a map out there of stage rally events in NA and that can point you in the right direction. www.google.com/maps/d/u/0/viewer?mid=1nMwg0YZMLAjwpoYhFKd_lL7tkTQ&ll=41.14896552330403%2C-88.156836&z=4
You can probably enter rallycross events with an sti, but honestly if you want to do rallying you're probably still better off buying a used rally car.
Depends if you are talking rallycross or stage rally. You can show up with just about anything to have fun at a rallycross. Stage rally you have to have the car built for it, you can't show up with a street car.
I went to a rally race with my best friend a few years ago and got hooked. When I told my mom she got mad at me and basically said “girls can’t race” I’m more determined now. This helps
That's the spirit! Check out Cooper Autoworks, the co-driver, Kelsey, does a lot to promote women in motorsports.
Same boat! Please update when you do your 1st event. I'm looking for my cash car now. Also thanks for the vid!
Nothing hotter than a female racer, especially rally. Go for it!
Oh hell nah, girls most certainly can race. Prove her wrong by following that dream dude dont let her get ya down
Girls can definitely race. My wife raced pro motocross and even receive a top 10 payment before! Girls can definitely do it!
Highly underrated video

Gaston did you have to do any schooling to become a co driver
Mobile Guruji gotta build report, everyone wants to drive. Support the drivers and you’ll have first lick at the best opportunities.
can i ask how you got on as a mechanic? thats what i want to do is work on these cars because im fascinated by them

Older models of Hondas Civics are great for rallying
Love the fact that you're rallying a mini cooper, Not that many people know the potential of those sweet little hatchbacks.
Very thoughtful and well put together. I went from knowing nothing about rally to having a map of how to go forward.
That first tip alone is worth millions. Great video!
The one constant in my life becoming a young adult has been a love for rally, and I'll be able to see some soon and start out :)
Very good info/tips. I agree 100%.
I FULLY recommend Dirtfish.. I loved it and learned lots

Cool video greg! You might have inspired me to just do a seven steps to start fishing video! Haha
Thanks. That's not a bad idea. I'm sure you get questions from people wondering where to start.
Just seen how far you made it. Great job pal
Just earned you a subscriber.

sucks, i am lucky to be in a country where rally is probably the favorite motorsport

You would be surprised. There are real rally drivers that can translate their skills into the rally sim and make it look easy
I've always wanted to be a part of a motor sports team or a rally team that builds cars, hopefully it happens:)
as soon as im out of college, i'm going to rally asap :)
I want to start rally racing with my mini. However, now that I have watched your video I think I am going to buy a built up car instead.
What age should you start at? I’m 15 atm and wanting to become a rally driver and i live in Sweden. I am currrently looking at some volvo 240s, but my family isn’t so supportive.
