Damn, all I get is audio when I click on them. :808908-wtf:

 

[terrasmak]

anyone know how you get into racing those things . It just looks like to much fun

 

[Mellomac]

It does look fun as all hell, those trannys must be bullit proof. You'd have to be crazy to be strolling along the route like nothing was going on :crazy: :808876-nono:

I would love to learn to drive like that...
I truly believe this is the most difficult of all racing. These drivers surely know how to drive. :waytogo:

 

[pudding7]

That poor transmission! :bawling: Oh the humanity, I cringed everytime he shifted.

pretty crazy stuff though.

Rossi has tried both and said that F1 cars were easier to drive than WRCs.

You can start with SCCA Rallycross, which is more or less autocrossing off road.

There's SCCA Club Rally, which (as the name suggests) is basically club racing for rally cars. You race on "real" rally stages.

Finally, there's SCCA Pro Rally, which is what you see on speedvision. You can more or less say SCCA ProRally is to WRC as AMA superbike is to WSBK, although the talent, manufacturer presence, and money in the SCCA isn't anywhere near the same ballpark as the WRC.
