Agree with @Naffoff. It looks blinkin' brilliant in the grey with the few red details. I think liveries on track days are a bit, well, naff (sorry :ROFLMAO: ) really.

The problem is, most stuff is in Arabic, so it's not always that easy :LOL:

Is there anything like this in Jeddah?

I guess they might get less viable now Evos are going up in value, though I suppose there are some other options. Some of the proto cars are getting quite advanced now, with long travel suspension like an R5 car. Shame it's mostly done abroad as MSUK are so boring.

Mental :LOL: M-Sport (the people that run the Ford World Rally Team if you live under a rock) have taken one of these: And combined it with one of these: To create this: Video: It was built by the new M-Sport Special Vehicles team, who will build you something equally crazy should...

Would look mega on Turinis. Your old one looked great on them. Not sure if I would go for white for daily use, as it's a pain to keep them clean!

I think I'd probably change the wheels personally. I like the red, but think it needs something aftermarket to pull it off really. Looks mega though. Bet it's pretty potent!

Yeah it's a very expensive and time consuming game. I'd definitely recommend giving a targa a go first. Easy enough to get a car together for that and event costs are way lower. If you enjoy it, you could then think about stage events. I definitely want to do more rallies but, with living...

Here is a quote I received for a 1.6 R2 Fiesta, just for reference: Think the above was plus VAT too maybe.

Bit more detail on the MINI:

I think a lot of it is covering transport, accommodation etc etc, so paying for the people running the car as much as the car itself. I know what you mean though, it's not exactly cheap. The idea of just turning up and driving does have appeal though.

This is for the Silverstone Rally School stuff: And this is for the MINI: The above is based on the 2022 championship calendar, but they said they could arrange hire for other events. Not sure what those prices includes but have asked them to clarify, as the SV stuff seems a bit cheaper than...

I'll find them and post tomorrow. Mini varied a lot depending on the event.

Interesting. Another name from rallying history. Why didn't you think the Civic was very easy to drive? I'm surprised there aren't more out there really. The engines are good and they seem quite popular in Europe.

Is it your brother's old car? I was going to ask them for more detail about it, because they just said "2.0 Civic"

Couple more potential options. Silverstone Rally School have a couple of hire cars available - a Micra and a Civic. And you can hire cars from the guys that run the Mini Cooper Rally championship.

Fiesta looks nice, but needs bigger wheels lol They're a great buy though. Really capable and the engines seem pretty ripe for tuning.

How much? Actually, I don't know if I'd want to hire a car from you. It would be too embarrassing to realise how much slower I am :LOL:

If you're doing circuit events, you won't be very hard on tyres, but I would expect there to be some charge for them. I'd happily hire a car for a few SV events, but there aren't many entry-level options out there sadly, and I think some folk are a bit cheeky with the prices. I bet it makes life...

Have you considered targa rallies? Might be a good starting point, as is on a much lower budget and requires a lot of the same skills. If you enjoy it, you could always step up from there. As Paul says, stage rallying has become a bit of an arms race, so it's hard to be competitive without...
