Rally Racing

Well, isn't that a happy little question! Rally cars are left hand drive because most rally stages have more right turns than left turns. This way, the driver can have better visibility of the road ahead during right turns, which helps them navigate the twists and turns of the rally course more effectively. It's all about creating a safe and comfortable environment for the driver to showcase their skills on the canvas of the rally stage.

Nowdays there are a lot of women in drag racing. However. There is only 1 Queen of drag racing in my mind. She scratched, and clawed, and some would even say slept her way into drag racing, but that's not important. What is, is what she did when she got there. She backed down from no man, in fact challenged the best, she has many firsts in the sport, and some records that still stand unmatched, even today. She had her car burst into flames, and take her along with it, only to come back an step up to top fuel, from funny car. She won the seasonal championship, I think more than once, and turned the drag circuit up-side-down! Shirley Muhldowney, I think is how you spell it, was her name, and any woman in motorsports today owes her for paving the way for current standards. Curious? They made a movie about her, that, as far as I know, is pretty factual. Hoyt Axton, Bonnie Bedillia, "Heart Like a Wheel", is the name of it. Great flick.

In all of his career Sebastian Vettel has driven over 7000 laps approx including recorded Practice and Qualifying Laps.

Racing is expensive, if you want to get to the Travis Pastrana level, you need to either have access to endless financial resources or start at the bottom. Join a club in your area and get involved. You'll meet people that are as excited about the sport as you are and have a outlet for your enthusiasm. Many clubs have events that will allow you to race your daily driver. Don't have a car? Be someone's co-driver or learn how the event is run by volunteering. Any of this experience is valuable.

It's not just what you know, but who you know. Be of value to someone, help them out with their car if you have mechanical abilities. Spend some time working the stands, or flagging the event, people will get to know you. If you don't have the right connections, will you get sponsored? Probably not. Will you need sponsorship to race professionally? Most likely. So get out there and start meeting new people.

It may take a while, but you can work your way up to the top. If you are good at what you do and people can at least tolerate you, then you have a chance at success.

generally a game is to 21 or to 25. Rally scoring means that each play a point will be awarded to the team that scores the point. This is the opposite of scorinng only on serves. Rally scoring is the more common scoring in volleyball.

It is hard to speculate on the production cost of a tyre, because teams do not pay for the single tyre, a complete set or all used tyres on a weekend anymore. Nowadays all teams pay a flat fee between 2.5 and 4.5 million Euro per season to their tyre supplier Pirelli.

That sounds a lot initially, but you have to take into account the total numbers and what else comes with it. For each of the 20 race weekends in the 2012 Formula 1 season, Pirelli provides each team with 144 tyres. That amounts to 36 sets or 18 sets per driver for each race. Any tyres, no matter if used or not, are returned to Pirelli who destroys and recycles them.

If you were to calculate a price out of that, you'd get to a range of ~875-1600 Euro per tyre, but it's not the whole truth.

The tyre supplier does more than supply the black gold. The flat fee comes with technical support and a free tyre engineer and who knows what else. Also, teams do not necessarily pay the (full) sum but pay in other ways, like with sponsor displays on their cars.

Well, as a Chevy guy, I will have to remain objective on this one. I do not think that the Ford, Ferrari wars of the 60's have ever really even been matched. I seriously recomend if your deeply interested, further exploring the story I am about to highlight you on. It is well documented. And, one of the mechanical participants just sold at auction for just under 8 million,I think! Enzo Ferrari had a little car company in a little country called Italy. He wasn't a car manufacturer who was racing to gain marketshare, or set trends. He was a racer who needed funding, and sold cars to make it happen. Henry Ford Jr. (I think), took offense to the fact that this guy was winning all the races. In steps Carrol Shelby, and, the games began. Even being a Chevy guy, it brings a lump to my throat to think about it. Anyway, this was a time before power steering, and when cheating was classified as "enthusiasm" and not villianous. Racing was raw, and rough. By the time it was all over, Ferrari was owned by Ford, which is still true today. To finally answer your question, without hesitation, doubt, or resentment, I have to say the competition Cobra's, hands down. They attract an internationsl market, and numbers to match. There have been faster Chevies, and Dodges, but not at the right time, or, with quite the attitude, as those Cobra's. Hats off to Carrol.....Chuck.

Chuck, even though I agree with everything you say, the Ferraris, Fords and the sort were GT cars, not rally cars, Rally cars were: The Fiat Abarth (600 bored to 998cc), Austin Mini Cooper (1.275cc), Ford Escort Cosworth, Lancia Stratos, Audi Quattro, Toyota Supra, Subaru Impreza WRX 2.000cc, and the Mitsubish EVO 2.000cc (to mention a few). The fact that technology progresses with time, has made the Subarus' and Mitsubishis the fastest rally cars, but the Cooper was an amazing little rally car, winning the Montecarlo Rally several times. I would say that "In history" the little mini deserves the title, but the Audi Quattro was wy faster than that, and today a Subaru Impreza (stock, just out of the dealer) runs rings of the competition Audi car of the 80`s. Great question though.. IvoJara (BTW to convert cc`s to cubic inches divide by 16)

The person that has 1 the most wrc titles is Seb Loeb

Peter was killed when his car hit a tree during a rally in Western Australia in 2006.

I believe the worlds greatest is a man called Phil Gilbert, he really is a driving god.

Pick a Driving School based on your choice of racing and go there before you develop any bad habits in your own car. Its a LOT cheaper in the end!! Get a car, find a track and go for it!! A professionally trained driver is miles ahead (no pun intended) at the track.

Cars are covered with stickers. The stickers profess the driver's compensated allegiance to car parts, soda, car parts, breakfast cereal, car parts, detergent, car parts and other assorted products, most having to do with car parts. Other stickers, however, are fill-ins for actual car parts -- headlights and brake lights, for example. There are no working headlights or brake lights because they would shatter and become road hazards during even routine bumping. But don't feel bad if you've never noticed that cars have fake lights; the stickers are so realistic that even from a few feet away, you would have to touch them to know that for certain.

.Purchasing a vehicle might be costly, Nevertheless building a vehicle is actually much more biting down hard. Probably the most biting down hard from the operating price is actually the price of fueling.

There are 41 racecourse in Britain that stage National Hunt racing. Of these 17 also stage Flat racing. There are a further 19 courses which stage Flat racing only (including Great Leighs which is due to open in April 2008).

I dont know if anyone invented it, but ever since automobiles have been invented they have been racing each other. Rally racing is, technically, the first ever event, it just didn't called that until later, after other types of racing were made (I.e.NASCAR).
