Rally Race Anyone?

Since we have that Celica coming out in a month or two, does anyone want to try a Rally style race? Basically AWD + drift tires + any Rally body, past that just like a normal race.

That sounds cool.

Might also be cool to have very minor(and I mean very minor) elevation changes as well since what's rally without airtime.

My only problem is figuring which body beautiful rally body will need to be freed from it's comfy autoscale case.

Even without airtime, the elevation changes can really change things up. Highly recommend doing it. FOr our venue, we had access to those tri-fold gymnastics mats and placed them under the track at places.

Or even have patches of the RCP backside tiles for areas of higher and lower grip. All of the above sound like great suggestions.

Doubt any of us here have any though, so I thought to get creative with the standard.

If you think MAs can handle them, why not?

the green rumble strips are still at hobby works. i don't think a racer is going over those.
grab some shipping tubes and place them under the tracks.
