I have contacted Performance French Car mag and asked if they would like to do a feature on getting started in rallying.
Idea is that over 3 issues they sort out a co-driver license, overalls etc. And go into whats required. finally they put their co-driver in the hot seat on a proper stage rally.
What do you guys think?? I have offered to supply my car for the rally.

Thats part of the idea..... 206info.... well publicised. If only 10% of the members turn up at the rally as speccies then that would do the job

Thanks guys.... now I want suggestions on this theme. What would you find interesting from the feature? What would you most like to find out or learn from it? Would you attend the rally venue if you had the chance?
All your ideas on this theme will be forwarded to the editor

I think it would be good to learn how you get into to rallying being a driver or passenger, how difficult it is, how much it costs.
I'd like to try and attend if i was able to

well tbh my old man got me into it as he has been into rallying all his life he used to do pit crew work for stig blomvist (sp) back in the early to mid 60's, so spent alot of my youth sitting in the middle of a forrest in the early hrs of the morning waiting for the cars to come through lol lol , mind you nothing wakes you up like the sound of a 6R4 on full song in mid wales.

The more guys we get stage side the more the magazine will take notice of the forum. You would need to make some noise
