I love it. Just as subaru is totally out of rallying and goes into track racing Toyota comes back into rallying. Just awesome.

I don't know too much about rally - are RWD cars actually competitive? I would think the more slippery the surface, the better off you'd be with AWD or FWD platforms.
Pretty cool nonetheless. Looks like a ton of fun.

Does that mean it's going to compete against mostly FWD cars or am I reading that wrong... Quote:

There are a bunch of classes and sub-classes. This car is running with the FIA R-group(i believe)
Usually they group by main classes by engine size and weight. R1 to R5. Our car is in the 2wd 2.0 liter R3(cs?) class. Or just grouped with all the R3 cars which include other cars with similar engine/weight. Rwd is not always faster than fwd. Rwd is much harder to drive and more weight on the front wheels=more traction exiting a turn. |

Regardless, it's good to see the 86 in the WRC (lower class) but it's still not something that will be televised or relevant in the States.

In for details on what suspension changes they've done to make it off road worthy and where to get the parts.
I know the shocks are by Reiger and that the press kit mentions 'special arms'...

idk if this is supposed to be obvious, but I can't help but notice the color scheme/design looks just like a kabuki mask

Fairly comprehensive as to what your money will buy. Seems a reasonable price for what you get. |

I dunno... If you go back to the 70s, Toyota and Nissan (Datsun) built their international reputations on rallying in events such as Paris-Dakar. In the US, since rallying was not as popular (or even discussed), they focused on circuit racing. Subaru, as far as I can remember, didn't really start rallying/racing until the Audi Quattro showed that AWD was superior to RWD off-road. |
