Some national championships don't allow WRC's (2.0 and 1.6) but those who does allow them have the 1.6 WRC spec also allowed. Here in Belgium we had Snijers driving the Mini WRC, in France Roche with Mini and Maurin with Fiesta and there's an ongoing list in different countries. DS3 WRC's who have driven outside of WRC were never of clients (besides shows like Monza) I remember Loeb doing a rally in Switzerland and some pre test events of Hirvonen, Neuville and Chardonnet.

Btw. This is my view after codriving something like 250 rallies (and driving a handful) during 30 odd years... ;-)

There's several cases of drivers that have been extremely fast on blind rallies but being unable to carry that speed to rallies with pacenotes. Driving with pacenotes requires many different features that a driver either has or has not. But still, my point was that a slow driver can't become fast with perfect pacenotes, that is what I was trying to emphasise.
Im happy with Co-FIN teaching me about rallying, he is a respected codriver and I have got a lot to learn from him as well as from many others in this forum. That is why I like the forum so much.
Iskald described my experience in rallying as extensive. I would rather say intensive. Rallying is a hobby for me. It is serious, extremely serious, but its a hobby.
More than that, it is a passion, it makes me who I am. Rallying has for me a deep psychological meaning, the risks, the speed, the control of the uncontrollable, the ultimate challenge, the will to win, the self-examination, the emotions, all that is happening to its extreme. I would rather describe myself as a adventurer searching for experiences than a sportsman in rallying.
Somehow I could say that I regard rallying for me as a psycho-neurotic tendency, I rally not just for sport but to find refuge from the inner torment that frames my existence. It is a psychological experiment that defines me being me every time I am priviledged to drive. Every time I give it all I got. And I have given it my money and my health, and still think that it has been a bargain!
In this respect, it is perfectly suitable that Co-FIN teaches me about the sport aspect of rallying and I welcome and look forward to the discussion with him and others.
Sami
strong performance.
