Fail to see how it is shit.
Road Rally: Say Engine Size for group is 1.0. It is perfect, being a 1.0.
Would be shit if it entered the WRC mind.

It's a car for road rallies. Different kettle of fish to conventional rallying, or rally cars. It's quite an old and very cheap enthusiasts sport. A bit like auto testing, sprints, hill climbs, time trials.

My Dad used to do Road Rallies as Nav and he indeed does have a beard. Pretty sure beards are a compoulsory part of the Road Rally regs. He's called Pete tho not Alan.
Used a variety of cars over the years including bog standard Mini's, a Talbot Sunbeam and at one point, a fully prepped Lotus Cortina.

First post in gener chat where the big name brand people aren't attacking a corsa. I'm shocked, stunned and slightly emotional that people on here maybe do actually like corsas after all!
Nice one guys!!

I do road rallying as a navigator but don't have a beard! 
Could be ok but may be a bit slow. Either way this thread is awfull!!! 
We do ours in a mk1 astra with xe, fully caged rally suspension, buckets the lot! Pretty fast!
