Just wondering.... Does anybody compete in a motorsport on here?

I used to be a rally co-driver and did a few road rallys... anyone else compete in motorsport?

Jim

I did a season or two as a co-driver in the National rally championship in Ireland a few years back.

I have hung up my fire retardant booties for good now though, quite happy to spectate instead.

Yep, race a 205GTi with my frined in hill & flat sprints. Great fun, I think i even managed to finish second to last in my class on Sunday instead of last:)

Irish Rallying is awesome, see it on Sky all the time and im dying to go across and watch.... closest ive come though is seeing the irish boys in Isle of Man / Jim Clark Rally

nice one... not won any events yet then? u just compete locally?

Not even close.

The car is kept in midlands as my mate has a garage to keep it in (keeps insurance down). Though I did race at Harewood the other week, great course, very technical.

Yes, rallies (tarmac and stage), hillclimbs, sprints and a dabble with circuit stuff.

U a Co-driver or driver TaviaVRS?

used to do a few road rallies many moons ago. Both driving a mk1 Escort Mexico and navigating for mate in his RS 2000.

Great fun cars but would get blown away by todays luke warm hatches!!

anyway gave up for two reasons - couldn't afoard to wrap the car so took few chances and got nowhere fast!!

and needed cash to get married - Doh!!!!!

Saw the Mex again a few month later - as flat as a pancake on the back of a transporter!! Met the guy I sold it too about 10 years on at my brothers wedding - he was goung out with the bridesmaid - my new sister-in-laws sister - its a small small world.

So no more rally car but still follow the sport - oh and still married 25 yrs on!

I do co driving on stage rallies and road rallies. Also compete in sprints, hill climbs and production car trials.

I took up rallying to avoid the wife:rofl:

used to do sprints and hillclimbs in 1999 and 2000 , house purchase forced a curtailment though, oh yeah , and like a fool i bought a house without a garage so in the end had to sell my car because the bloke who owned the garage where it was stored wanted his space back , it was only a mini for Christ sakes LOL
