Rally Discussion and Bar Talk Thread

[Jarek Z]

formula cars and prototypes (except Le Mans) don't attract me... I like cars that I can somewhat see they're "car-shaped"

Is it car-shaped or a prototype?

In hillclimbing you can find some of these "car shaped prototypes", I'm surprised this one is allowed in some rallyes in the Canarias. It gets a thumb up from me

F* yeah! 1:8 is my favorite! (but off road 4wd! haha) Im not into any community but I do watch most of the races on Red RC Live and CTRL Sport youtube channels! Not MUUUUUCH action last year because of the Virus but always fun to watch! Are you racing in any of those big "efra" series? Cheers!

Yeah, it's awesome. The reflexes the top guys show, and how they react to changes in the track deteriorating from lap to lap, is amazing. And the cars themselves are amazing, I really think everyone into the technical side of full scale motorsport should check them out, some amazing features are present in a tiny package.

I raced 1:8th off-road nitro buggies but unfortunately the track has closed down. I've since become very much involved in 1:8 GT (an on-road nitro class), and even developed my own car with my dad which I now race. We're very deep into it, check it out on FB - it's called MLX 1/8 GT.

I've raced at some EFRA events - I competed in the 2015 1:8 buggy Euros in Italy, in 2017 I raced at the nitro Euros in France and also at the electric 1:8 Euros in Croatia, and finally in 2019 at the GT Euros in Germany - where I even managed a decent result And yeah, all the Euros got cancelled - last major race was the GT Worlds in Miami last January. This years Euros got cancelled as well a week ago, so no major racing in Europe till 2022 I'm afraid

Gutted , someone got to a road going version before me:

My consolation is that I still prefer my version for a modern Rally 037, appreciating that taste is a personal thing

If they went for a restomod, I think I would have liked it, but not the mash up of 037, S4 and Integrale they have gone for. Considering that they are Italians and no one can beat their tradition when it comes to car styling, the result is quite surprising.

Coincidentally, a restomod 037 would be a fantastic exercise.

Nothing changes for me though, still want to build my Rally 037 MkII

Apologies, if this was put up before.

Also appears to be trying a different engine tuner for the i20 AP4+ before the next round of the NZRC at Whangarei.

Is there anything ""like"" the "wrc" but with motorcycles?
