    Well, when you have 40 cars chomping at the bit on the restart in close quarters, all it takes is a small nudge and somebody going sideways to make a huge mess.

    To answer the original question, I would say yes, but only to Group N. It's the "closest" you can get to production based racing in rally but not the only production-based class. In America, for instance, there's still Speed World Challenge classes where they take mostly stock cars with rollcages and brake/tire upgrades and race them.

    Not as many as I used to since I dropped Speed from my cable bill. I've been sort of getting back into NASCAR and World Challenge (production-based touring cars) racing here and there. I follow Petter Solberg's WRC car through the season so there's a bit of that. Can't forget F1 too; I usually catch the Australiasia races because they end by 2 in the morning.
