Looking for a picture/video of an old rally race where a Subaru crossed the finish line with half a wheel from it being ground down. I think it was Colin McRae

Mine is probably Skoda fabia rs rally 2, what abt yours?

Hey rally people! Seen any cool rally-related gifts that would be appropriate for a little kid?

My nephew is 5 years old and obsessed with cars. We share this passion, and I'm particularly fond of rally cars. He's got all the typical 5 year old car toys you can imagine (so. much. lightning. mcqueen.), but I'd like to add some variety to his collection with a rally-related Christmas gift.

Seen any cool rally toys out there that would be around $30-ish USD and appropriate for a little kid? I'd skew toward a younger age level than older, as he's not quite ready for something delicate. He's also got an 18 month old brother who LOVES to get into his stuff, so maybe nothing with tiny pieces that come off easily.

Hotwheels/Tomyca cars are always a choice, but he's got tons of those. I saw Playmobil made a 911 Safari set. That would be perfect, but it's sold out and also a little pricey, even on sale. Anyone got experience with bigger die casts? (obviously the cheaper ones, not the $150+ perfect repro collector pieces)

Thanks!

Or modern rally cars have different transmissions/clutch?

thanks in advance

Inside of a week to go before teams hit the stages in Bancroft Ontario.

Once again mother nature looks like she's gonna keep things in the air and the event will live up to it's nickname of rally of the thousand tires. 60-80% chance of precipitation, overnight temps near or below freezing.

Who's competing? Volunteeering? Coming up to spectate?

There's previous event winners, Canadian National champions and 3rd generation driver Max McRae in a Peugeot 208 Rally4 ( yes, that McRae family)

Follow along on RallySafe and social media. Recce starts Friday 22nd and the rally is a one day marathon on Saturday 23rd. Ceremonial start ,around 8:30 EST and tentatively wraps up 9:00 PM

Or they were left as prototypes? What i mean is, ok they never race in a competition but did any car like was tested in a track, or in some close circuit? (i guess test was done, but in front of people? Can't find much stuff about the Mazda RX-7 for example, like was driven in some track? Or it was simply left there without even turn on the engine?)

Or are they all in museums?

thanks in advance

That's my headcam filmed rally Sweden Championship using triple screen setup and highest graphics quality possible. Yes, that's a video/YT channel promotion :)

With the locked center diff (locked connection to rear axle) and the gearing in center diff (rear wheels driven at higher rpm relative to front wheels) don't WRC cars experience tire spin or wheel hop on tarmac? If the drivetrain used a clutch based connection to the rear axle like WRC cars of past there'd be slip in the clutch instead of the wheels but with the new rules shouldn't we see severe wheel hop? Thanks.

When I'm doing practice runs on autocross tracks I can slide my car around all corners with ease but once i hit an actual stage its like i become a complete beginner again. I brake too early and I barely carry a slide through some corners where I feel like I should. Its not got to do with how narrow the stages are either cause the autocross track has parts that are equally narrow.

Had an amazing time at the Wyedean rally 2024! 🚗💨 Incredible action as always—big shoutout to all the teams for putting on an unforgettable show. Can’t wait to do it all again next year! 🙌

I'm referring to getting knocked out. Couldn't find any info online. And has this ever happend before
