Hopefully Dan's spotter's guide on the
current WRC classes
will have cleared up the regulations, and piqued a little interest in rallying too. If it hasn't, then this video should do it...
Anyone with some knowledge of tarmac rallying will know Patrick Snijers. If you don't, watch this legendary vid of him on the Manx in an M3 and prepare to accept him as your new rallying hero. He's still at it in fact, driving one of the very exciting new GT86 R3 rally cars.
Here's why rear-wheel drive must feature in rallying! Sure, it doesn't go all that quickly if you're used to 300hp+ rally cars and there's a fair amount of grip, but to see it slipping and sliding around on a stage is great. Snijers has definitely still got it as well...
So sit back and enjoy rear-wheel drive back in rallying. It even sounds pretty good. Can we have a go please Toyota?
