Of course I have a co-pilot. This was my first experience, and it's really diffcult to process what the co-pilot is telling you and, at the same time, trying to drive at the limit.

Here most of proffesional drivers rent rally cars. They pay a fee per race, which includes everything: car rental, assistance, fuel, transportation,...
Tires are not included.

In my case, I've found a small company who has two STIs for rental for a reasonable price. If I crash the car, I will have to pay for the repair. I can also contract an insurance for the car, but it costs me more than the rental.

The ALS works perfectly. The car responds inmediatly to throtlte input, you dont feel the turbo at all.

It's really hard to try to drive the car slowly or smoothly (for example, between rally sections), everything seems to bee designed for WOT only.

Very cool, thanks for posting up. Would you mind telling us (or PM'ing me) how much you pay for such an event? I would love to try something like this.

jermdeez · 04-17-2008, 04:01 PM

wow that seems sucky. you have to pay if you wreck it, might as well use your own car.
