this is now a rally board
Don't you mean Rally Racing?Its called Rally Racing.
>>28102235is the car not still?
>>28102233checked and rallypilled
>>28102255also checked and rallypilled
Why did rally cars go from being bespoke sportscars to hatchbacks? Why were so few sedans or coupes run compared to hatchbacks?
>>28102436Hatchbacks are the optimal body style. You want a very short wheelbase and minimal overhang front and back, a front-mounted engine (mid engines like in the group B era were , and room for shit like tires and tools.If more marketable body styles performed as well, they'd use them. Nobody buys hatchbacks anymore.
>>28102759>(mid engines like in the group B era weremostly an attempt to compensate for stone-age diffs and suspension*
>>28102235Do you mean rallying?It's called rallying
I AM A RALLY CAR
>>28102796based bogan
>>28102812Why yes i am thankyou
Rallye!
Wasn’t there a Rav4 rally model made once?
What's the best car to larp as a rally driver under 5k euros?
>>28103602alfa romeo mito QV or renault twingo RS
One day I'll buy a classic like a TR3a or MGC and go historic rallying.Dream would be a Nissan 240RS, what a unit.
>>28103638I was looking at mitos, I like them but I'm kinda afraid of alfa maintenance
>>28103692They're Fiats underneath. Basic fun with added pretty. I know a couple of women owners. Did I mention basic fun with added pretty.
>>28103711What are the differences between regular 1.4 mitos and qvs? QV goes for 6500 here...
>>28103721bigger turbo
>>28103744It's just 15hp, I doubt it that it's that big of a deal. I'll test drive the normal one and see if I like it
>>28103602technically fiat 126 was used in rally, but its kinda garbage
>>28103766Honestly if I'll get one of them when I buy a house (need more space), I love them
>>28102233This alpha reminds me of a closet
>>28103784idk if youre calling the car alpha or alpha romeo, its a lancia
>>28103766kinocento too
>>28103848Maybe in like a year or so. I've been looking at the reviews, it looks like a really cool car. I'm definitely going to book a test drive
speaking of lancia, aside from being a poorly thought advertisement, what's the point of pic rel?lancia is nowaday nothing but a stellantis necrotic branch located in an irrelevant shitholeAnyone who think that this would mean anything is a delusional fool. This thing has nothing to do with >>28102233 even factoring that the delta itself was just a common 4doors commuter and the rally project was a huge marketing campaign
>>28104000Lancia is long dead. That said Mindy was the last interesting person to be seen in a Jeep.
>>28104000last attempt at relevancy
>>28102759the classic wrc cars you know and love had the same wheelbase as the current eggshit wrc cars, the roadgoing yaris being as big as a 3 door impreza is the bigger problem
Bros...https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1991-lancia-delta-hf-integrale-16v-2/
>>28104000lancia will be back to irrelevance in 2 years, stellantis is struggling and will kill them.
>>28102233Group B was so wild. Like 20% of the cars would crash each race
SEAT should have done the same tricks as Peugeot with the 206 and used the Ibiza as WRC.
>>28104000There are four different companies building homages to the Delta right now, and instead of playing on that hype and nostalgia and building a boxy, retro hot hatch like everyone else is, they release this blobby, squint-eyed monstrosity as the Ypsilon. Fucking madness. Imagine if, in today's market of air-cooled restomods, that Porsche killed the 911. That's the level of sheer stupidity that Lancia is operating with right now, their whole management ought to be gutted.
>>28105340Rallycross in the late 80s/early 90s was even wilder when they crashed like 90% of the time with those repurposed group b cars.
>>28105476Possibly the most kino image ever posted to /o/
>>28105476Do you know where one can watch that?>>28105480yeah, saved
>>28105487Just look up rallycross videos of that era on jewtube.https://youtu.be/Ct37UyWV00I?si=I-0-pV6dUzU85eft
>>28105476They had very little in the way of power limits. Teslas and the like would struggle to launch like an unrestricted Group B car. 2-3 seconds to 60 on dirt and full contact racing from then on.
>>28105494That audi destroyed them off the line
>>28105505MST has a new car coming out. 6R4. My order will happen as soon an Mrs bank manager shuts up.
>>28105518>300kmy pockets are no where that deep, my order might happen when Mrs bank manager puts the money in the bag
>>28105521She will only scream for so long. I have no mortgage now so, relatively speaking, I have money to burn. I can't take it with me.
>>28105526if you can do it without ending up homeless might as well go for it, you can get a quattro replica right nowhttps://www.lce-performance.de/en/sportquattro/
>>28105530>https://www.lce-performance.de/en/sportquattro/Your basic short quattro is a wonderful thing to see. A friend had a regular one that would get to 1000hp with the nitro on when it felt like it.It usually sulked in the back of the garage leaking fluids.
>>28105495EVs and hybrids suck at rallly cross.ROC has provided wonderful proof.2022 -Audi Quattro vs. FC1-X (purpose built electric rallycross racer)https://youtu.be/7IrCuER8KDk?si=KQ_DyWVdichJgYqw2023 -Audi Quattro vs. RS Q e-tronhttps://youtu.be/1C-tBmhpDq8?si=Y0ZBeVO93KnFaDVM
gentlemen
>>28104016>this is also a Ypsilon
>>28106012>gentleman
>>28105556In both cases the main issue was with the tires. The FC1-X was on wide slicks with studs haphazardly stuck on them, and the Dakar car was on its normal Dakar-spec tires, while the Quattro was on proper snow tires. That's a huge difference in grip.
>>28105340Group B was stupid. Slow brittle cars with goofy drivers. Look at this shit absolutely humiliated by the 9000 folded nipple shitbox.
>>28102233They're all the same custom built cars but with different body parts to advertise their production models.
Rally is for girls. This one in particular.
>>28107064Ack!
>>28107064Where are the rally girls now huh?
>>28107071Probably in desk jobs. Rally is all faggotry post Group B
>>28107073let me guess, you only watch epic zased rally compilation on youtube
>>28107181Group B was my era. Faggots in Novas do not do it for me.
>>28107192grandpa, stop bragging about being a slowfag
>>28106631I see no problem here.
>>28102796Hello XR6 guy. How's the bird?
>>28102235Don't you mean Euro Touge?It's called Euro Touge.
is this real?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6evl2cQkcok
>>28107496It's pretty sad that the guy couldn't afford to have power to the front wheels like most of the bigger boys do.
>>28107195>group b>slowlol
>>28107508slower than group A lmao
>>28107574Group A from Group B is like giving your Gladiators airsoft weapons. Rally will never be cool again.
>>28107590>going faster is bad because.... youtube told me so, okay? it just is!
>>28107599You have to have experienced Group B to have an opinion on Group B.My parents experienced WW2 and I will not try to educate them on WW2.I wasn't there man.
>>28107609>I wasn't there man.yeah I can tell
>>28107609Unless you're German you should be educating them on how they were actually the bad guys.
>tfwThe little kids upstairs fight while you're an APRC-Chad.
>>28106016
>>28107329is the word
I'm tired of every rally discussion devolving into Group B wankery by idiots and children who haven't watched a single rally stage in their lives
>>28108823they had ONE MILLION horsepower and were made of TIN FOIL how BAD ASS is that huh I love rally now it's cucked with ABS and TCS
>>28108839Group B was driven by REAL MEN like COLLIN MACRAY and CARLO SIGNS. Modern rally cars are so easy to drive that even WOMEN can do it!
>>28108862HENRY TOIVANEN smokes MARLBOROS like a REAL MAN while DRIFTING EVERY CORNER going 200 MPH
>>28108823I'm suspecting that like 90% of group B "fans" are the same sort of people who coom over MUH 1000HP 2JZ GODZILLA DRAGON SLAYER.For some reason I always got more respect both to the drivers and the cars of "vintage" classes.Some poor nigga fighting for his life in a 100hp shitbox and sending it hard on a dirt road is always impressive to me
>>28108871>that one guy hooning a trabant in 2024
>>28108874>smokes the heaviest handrolled cigs to keep the stank of 2smoke out of the cabin while sending his trabi 120kmh down a blind turnToo weird to live, too based to die
>>28108876>>28108866>>28108862Sir you are forgetting about REAL high octane fuel and not the eco-friendly sunflower oil shit with a dynamo that we have today.
>>28108823>>28108839>>28108862>>28108866>>28108871cope, the group B stratos was the peak of rally
>>28109050shame that a group b stratos doesn't exist
>>28108823group b youtube compilations have been a disaster for rallying
>>28107574can you show me the significant more power of a group a from the good old group b days?0-60 in 3s isnt fast or what?2013 peugeot 208 t16 pikes peak for example is quite faster but dont forget the track conditions.with that slip, what could be significantly faster than 3s?I wrote this because everyone always acts as if the vehicles of the 80s were slow, which is utter bullshit.
>>28109090>group b youtube compilations and their consequences have been a disaster for the rally race
>>28108823Same. Except the opposite.
>>28109050Quit falseflagging and replying to yourself.It's embarrassing to read.
>challenge>you are entered into a rally >your only choice of vehicle is a stock model of the brand new cars of today (2023-2025)>consider the difficulty of finding car with a real transmission and handbrake>hardmode>no wrx,gr corrolla, focus rs, or similar sports cars.
>>28109347incomprehensible esl babble
>>28106645>showcase new rallycross car>put shit tires on itSounds like cope, if you ask me
>>28102233Rally is cool but this recent trend of yellow LARP lamps everywhere is annoying
>>28110494Then you'll love this
>>28102436>Why did rally cars go from being bespoke sportscars to hatchbacks?>RS200specifically the change that came after group B?homologation regulations>Group A>To qualify for FIA approval, a minimum of 2,500 identical models have to be built in 12 consecutive month today's WRC cars though have close to 0 homologation required models produced and are much more away from any road car than group B ever was pretty much rocket ships
>>28109050>stratos>group bthis has to be a falseflagbretty funny though
>>28109347nta but I'm pretty sure early group A raced some of the same stages group B didspoiler alert, they were faster
>>28111075>homologation nigger tiers>homoWhere my group N bois at
>>28111084>ntaLmao
DAYYTOOONAAAAALETS GO AWAYLETS GO AWAYDAYYYTOOOONAAAAAAAAa
I miss them both so much br/o/sThis era of Rally was so good
>>28112205Ari and Timo were my favorite
Maximum Attack.
I don't know if I want to buy a Delta Integrale or a Ur Quattro more
>>28112872Someone is making Restromod Integrale. The Car Pervert went to their place. I Don't think anyone offers this for Audi.
>>28112872I think there's a guy that custom makes the 205 T16. Not just a body kit either, it's mid engine and AWD. But I think they're built to order.
>>28112945Bespoke is the only way you're going to get any of those unless you want something ridden hard and put away wet.
>>28109347Show me that on any special stage. It probably wouldn't make the first landing.
