have been following this thread.. Bt why is that you cant use a swift wid necessary mods to rally in INRC. the swift super 1600 competes well in JWRC n many othr rallies abroad. Is it the low capacity engine?
if it is like that wat r the rules and regulations regarding choosing your ride apart from money.

Homologation issue. Follow this thread:

Sir,
with my personal experience its very difficult to get into service or marshal
As i tried my level best to go in for Desert Storm and SJOBA 2010 but coudn't make it because of lack of sources or whatever we call it.
I was too desparate to go and did the max i could but didnt get support from anywhere.
So please suggest some ideas to how to go into either service or marshalling too.

anyways i read the complete thread and got to learn many things from all.
Thanks for such a lovely thread Sir.
Im Glad to be a member of rally.co.in today

I am rally enthusiast, and would love to enter the sport, i am 25yrs old i reside in pune and i have an old ford ikon 1.6, as i have been following the thread, i am some question to ask, can i enter using my ford ikon, the mods done on the car is a ported head, short exhaust[size=85] and a air breather, i will soon be getting a roll cage, seats and seat belts for the same. As i have been going trough the thread, u have discussed the funds, the things and mostly the cons of it, could you guys plz tell me,

Can i used my ikon with the above mods and std suspension and brakes or we is mandatory to upgrade them?
Plz sir, i really need this information, if things work out well i would like to enter the events in calender year of 2012[/size]

Hi,

I strongly suggest you to get into the rally fraternity before for you to decide more precisely. This is because its not as easy as it is said & heard, also its definite that you will need truck loads of money stacked to take care, especially if you are a newbie with no knowledge.

My advise, get along with the people in the trade & start small.... like some autocross or some tsd rally or other simple kind, which by itself is not as simple as it is said again! Well I dont want to talk about the fords in india cos they break so more often in normal roads, & hardly u will start on with it to get on!

GOOD LUCK!

Agree with you Niaz, Jaggie was lucky to have Anne with him during his winning days!!! It was a perfect combination for sure.

Where can i find the rally racing schedule for 2012 on this website?

i wanna get into rallying after a yr or so
i wanna watch few race
whez d nxt race? how to get there?
