    Well if everyone else is running it i guess there isnt no problem to this and if the rule allow a computerised dash rather then anolouge why not? its all a matter of cubic $$$ isnt it....now that we are in the next year the BA GT still isnt doing too flash but the rest of the field has moved up thebar to...we now havepaul stokell driveing every single race in a VW of some kind and theres more funding all round....AlsoTeam GT ahs more sponsirs and even some Help from FPR....

    F1 is so the best, the cars are the fastest in the world and the different teams have to come up with the best stratergy to win the race, it's not just having the best driver (but that does help as Ferrari are proving)

    I reckon that the cars in rallying look a damn site better than the ones in BTCC, but rallying isn't exciting to watch when on site. It is from a television camera, but BTCC always has some sort of action that you can see, like Plato stuffing his Astra into a bend, or Soper sliding away an causing a massive pile up. Entertainment at its finest!

    wen did you see that, it wasnt recently plato drives for SEAT now.

    RALLYING KICKS ASS and if you think it isnt exciting to watch you should come to one of the club rallies

    depends how you look at it.....maybe as an ultimate test of driver skill at the limit and a technology parade, you'd enjoy WRC, F1 or LeMans/GT......i think something about the V8 Supercars here is people see them and relate them to their V8 Commodore or Falcon in the driveway

    Their is aclass like this in Aus its called improved production where u can build a race car from humble beginingsfrom gt falcons to 120y and lomg as its not classed a sports car.Eg adatsun 120y with 250kw at rear wheels via a SR20DET versus a Falcon gt 550kw at rear wheels.My nephews race in this class Ke55 Corolla coupe 3SGTE from GT4 Celica,TA28 Roller bearing turbo with 36mm restrictor,Roll a cage,4w disc brakes,Autronic SM2 engine mamagement system,control Yoko AdVans (Grooved Slick),you can put basically anything toyota in it or if its a nissan all nissan,Build the cars from 15000-whatever you want to spend and go racing.Rough performance figures 700-800kg for corolla,250kw back whells around 10-11 sec 1/4 mile ,250-280km/h top speed
    better power to weight ratio than a V8 Supercar,Diablo,Corvette C5,ZR-1 for our American mate,cheap fast and fun motorsport with ahuge variety of cars thats what it is all about.Last weekend at Mallala a 400,000 GT3 porsche cup car was beaten in a race by a Dato 1200.

    I really like WRC but I love F1, perhaps the best sport of all time.

    Sorry if I cannot express myself correctly, but I don't know English as good as I want, so my answers will probably be the same in many cases.

    thats right i think everybody here has a soft spot for ralying. i think it is good every event has a different surface rally cars can race on snow sand rocks dirt pretty much anything in rallying each corner is different and the drivers have to be very tallanted to win.
    wrc is deffenently the best.
