@Drivecomau 6 лет назад

Trust me, I love WRC and I grow up owning a WRX that was heavily modified and I have enormous respect for the genre and its drivers... we had a lot of restrictions with what we could do with this car, we basically weren't allowed to go fast or turn on the anti lag system or put it in race mode. So we did the best we could

@yoshyoka Год назад

To make it admissible to a rally on a budget you might get away with just spending about $10k (most of it in safety equipment). But then again, you would have no chance to even make qualifying.

@FinlayDaG33k Год назад

@@yoshyoka Really depends on the cup, class etc. etc. Some friends and I partake in a few rally cups every year and we do get podium or near-podium quite often. Total investment made on our car? Around 8K including purchase of the thing. Rally isn't just WRC, there are also plenty of amateur cups specifically made for "rallying on a budget".

I was wondering if it's a hyper sticky clutch... But then he wasn't giving it gas while raising the clutch initially, so you're probably right.

@geluix69 6 лет назад

even a person who can usually drive manual would have a hard time with this type of clutch and gearbox. A race type clutch is simply on and off, no slip and instant grab.

@JohannesKonow 6 лет назад

Like jean luc says... there are no sprung hubs in these clutches and they are incredibly difficult to get off the line if you are not used to them. I can guarantee that everyone in here would stall that car on first launch.

@brockbain8656 6 лет назад

No no. Ive driven brass button and triple puck clutches before, they are simply on and off, you just cant ride them at all, and theyre incredibly jolt-y, but i did have one in a daily car for 3 years (brass button, if you ride it, it cooks)

good luck with that , but there not road legal. only during official events can drivers go between rally stages to drive them on the road.

@declanwhite7077 6 лет назад

jean luc Dubinator I know that at least here in the us the cars in the rally events have to be completely road legal to run, so I would assume these would be able to be ran as daily driver if you wanted

@geluix69 6 лет назад

+Declan White during an official rally cars are inspected and giving a temporary Mot and can only circulate from stage to stage at the legal speed limit. After the rally is complete the cars have there temp permits removed . If your thinking of registering a full spec rally car at local DMV good luck , these cars are no way road legal . I know this from personal experience.

@brockbain8656 6 лет назад

No you do not jean... Here in Australia we can acquire rally registration. this is extremely cheap but is also rather limiting. you can drive the vehicle on the road within a radius of the registered address of the vehicle, between certain times, if you are to go outside of said radius or outside of said times, you must contact either RMS to check and obtain allowance to do so, requiring a reason being either a car show of which you are to participate in, relocation of the car from one place to another or competing/transporting in a rally. Also these cars are road legal under rally registration, they are exempt from all road rules so long as they are given a certification by an approved engineer after inspection.

@geluix69 6 лет назад

+Declan White nope, there only legal between stages and for a short period. Like I said if you don't believe me go to your local DMV with a full spec rally race car and they'll just laugh and say ..... Eh No . At least in North America anyway.

@@rolfen In order to prevent stalls in the corners. When pulling the handbrake, it is always best to use the clutch to prevent stalls. But, this and all other WRC cars (WRC, WRC-2, WRC-3, J-WRC) either use paddles or a sequential stick shifter. Also, just like a normal manual car, the car will stall if the revs bottom out completely. If you hold the clutch when you are at idle, it won’t stall, like a normal H-Pattern car.

@@stefan_4508 It's sequential manual transmission. Clutch has to be used when you start moving or lock the wheels when braking. The paddle shifter in rally cars control fully mechanic gear lever so it's kinda like assisted manual. On the other hand ferrari for example uses dct automatic transmission. In automatic cars the clutch is fully automated so you can't control it. Paddle shifter/gear lever in dct just send signals to the computer to change gears so it's like a semi-automatic.
