its a very large rally, with classics and modern etc, peter brock ran a monaro cv8 last year i belive, but was smacked down the feild by all the AWD skylines and porsches. not to mention STI's! lol, its a very windy island, so navagators have their work cut out for them.

my dad and i are going to buy a rally/hillclimb car soon, and ether way we dont want to go over 6 grand aussie$$, so we are a bit limited for choice, any sugestions?

if it is on set stages then it is prob more of a stage rally.

what sorts of championships are there over there?. here we are set up into different classes, F1000, 1300cc, super 1600cc, 2 Litre, 3 litre, group N and WRC cars.

I hape to be entering the F1000 next year when i am old enough to drive on the stages so untill then i am doing nav runs to get sused to the stages, and what rallying is really like, the F1000 is for 1.0L cars only and it has got limitations on tyres and you are not allowed to upgrade your engine to make it fair and cheap

Another thing that you could do is buy a cheap(ish) kit car for about £1500 and then buy a motorbike with a 1250cc engine and make a little rocket ship


have a look theough these pics you might get a few ideas http://www.britishrally.com/gallery/index.asp
most of these cars will be way to exoensive but there might be a few in your price range
