awesome, thanks, ive actually decided not to enter this one though, due to lack of funds, a debt i forgot came up which i had to pay

if you need a navigator i would be more than happy to do it i did a few rallies last year (george woods, akademos, nightmoves and the spring 200) and i have all the gear to go rallying i am just up in croydon so if your keen let me know coz i need as many rides as possible this year- simon

Good on ya for having a go. It is a great sport and I'm sure you'll enjoy it. As I pointed out I'm not being negative, I'm just worried about the safety issue. I'm sure if you look around you'll be able to find someone to help you out with making a basic cage cheap. You may even find someone in this group that has a second hand cage for sale.....try it!
Don't get put off by getting lost in your first rally. It can be a little confusing but if the event is any good the organisers should give you plenty of time for the touring stages. Use it to make doubly sure of every instruction rather than panicking and rushing down the wrong road.
Good luck.

shhhh toull scare em off

there are some (bout 3 per year) novice events run in vic and possibly other states where cage is not required

i think its nuts too, but they are gonna let me and i cant quite afford a cage yet so im doin it


its feb 8
the first rally i did i only finished one stage cause of confusing signage, mind you we were the only car in 60 to not go straight by the "private property keep out" sign so i dunno

What worries me is how you can compete in a rally without a roll cage. I thought it was an FIA requirement for ALL rally cars (even at club level) to have at least a main hoop and 2 rear stays. Please don't take me the wrong way here, I am all for making it as easy as possible for young, enthusiastic people to join the sport but in my mind I reckon you would be crazy to compete in a car without a cage. A basic roll cage is not expensive....a life is.

1200rallycar so have you rallyed yet or what???

forgot to move line and it was plastic too!!!!!!!!

You moved that fuel line so it would catch fire, didn't you?
The lenghts some people will go to get to a race!

no worries thanks, ive got 2 navs now

i got an offer from someone else on the site who will prob do it if not working, and my brother had a fire under his rally cars (mk. 1 escort) bonnet after the fuel line caught fire when he was welding the drivers floor, so hes suddenly free that weekend too

but yeah theres one in march and april aswell so well see what happens, maybe ill even have a cage then

I would love too. Im originally from VIC so im always looking at excuses for a quick visit however i have a friends weding that weekend sorry. Maybe next time if u still need someone. im also inexperienced but will learn and im willing to put in some extra money for the fuel ect. So message me if your in need.
