yeah i understand where u coming from! but thats in this era where lads are pumping money into mk2's and putting millingtons in everyting! i was more directing it to back in the day (well my fathers days) (even though there lovely cars to watch and listen) it was the driver and co-driver and a few friends in a car with tyres and petrol and a few spanners! a MK2 wit a PROPER ENGINE FOR AN ESCORT A 2.0 PINTO! sum tarmac arches and a cage and away u go! as my dad says the clubmen who kept rallying going were shadowed out by the wrc lads when those cars came in! it was cheap and cheerful where he used to rally every weekend for little cost and a cheap car and still be in the top 5 on most southern rallys! and have savage crack and then everyting was money money with sponsers etc. running cars! grass roots is the way every motorsport should stay and thats the main point! and yes s2000 cars are 4wd but less electronics and they need that little bit more skill but they shud hav no electronics but as said on a article on motorsport news paper by a veteran rally fan and writer, he said: he was in the scottish forcests for IRC 2009 and malcolm wilson said to him while spectating as a s2000 came roaring down the stage:"it brings us old boys back old memories" it was just the ball off those new cars without a turbo and wat a sound it is for a new car!! anyway to go back on topic this message i wrote is basically saying : I YOU GO AWAY FROM GRASS ROOTS IN RALLYING OR DRIFTING YOU WILL LOSE THE LEGACY THAT IT ONCE HAD;) AND THATS A SERIOUSLY BAD THING! LEGACYS IN SUCH IMPORTANT SPORTS HAVE TO BE KEPT FOR THE NEXT GENERATION OR MAYBE THE SPORT WILL GET OUT OF HAND!:)Quote:
