    Looks like it'll be a blast to participate in one of these.

      I've autocrossed in various cars (including my 300hp WRX) for about 15 years, and honestly it might be hard autocrossing again. Rallycross in a 100hp M10 318 is about 100x as much fun as autocrossing in any car that I've ever done it in.....

      Highly suggest.

      And the best part about rallycross is that you don't need a built car, or lots of power, or much suspension work. Just get a cheap beater and drive the hell out of it! One of the fastest non-Subarus at our first event was some little econo-Hyundai.....

            If you' had an ix, you'd be classed in with all the Subarus and would probably not be very competitive, at least in this region. You'd be running against 300hp STi's and Evos, lol. Same problem the few local Audi guys have - they simply can't hang with the Subies and Evos on course.

            In RWD we mostly run against 2nd gen RX-7s and other random older RWD cars like Peugeot 505s and the occasional Mustang.

            But it depends on if you're doing it for fun or competition.

            No real need for AWD in rallycross though. It's not like we're mudding. The RWD cars are actually probably more exiciting to drive on course anyhow.

                  buy another e30. I think the three of them running yesterday cost about $3000 COMBINED, lol.

                    Your rallyx car's paint is better than my car's.

                    Fuck yeah E30s.
                    paint sucks

                          I daily drive a tune WRX, and at our test and tune I drove the modified-class champion's Subaru GC 2.5RS. It was way, way less fun than the e30. I also drove the silver 318is in the pic above, and even though it's beat to hell it's still a blast.

                          Rallycross in an AWD car or a more modern car wouldn't be nearly as fun, IMO. E30s with a mild setup can do very well in RWD classes. I took 2nd in class at the event above (just behind the defending champion in a 2nd gen RX-7 with 50 more horses). And that is with a freakin M10!

                                ah must be so nice to have actual dirt!

                                here we either have rock-hard-like-pavement clay, slick-as-ice wet clay, or super-loose-and-dusty clay that leaves clouds behind every car that hang for minutes!
