Help with info for rally/track car
 

I have decided to build a rally/ track car but I'm finding it hard to find out what regulation for the spec of the car. I need all the help anyone can give or anywhere which can give me the information I need
Thanks in advance

Hi
If you go to http://www.britishrally.co.uk
Very helpful people on there. You will definitely find the answers you need.

Look on the msa website and look at the PDF of the blue book 2012 then look up the type of racing u want to do then all the regs will be listed

There is a big difference between a track day car and a rally car , you need to get hold of the blue book from the RAC MSA which gives you the spec a car has to be built to , you can't just fit any cage , they need to be certified , there are various ones to choose from , from bolted in to fully welded in , Seat and harnesses need to be in date , they only have a 5 year life span , you need a plumbed in fire extinguisher that can be operated from inside and outside of the car , same with the battery cut off , you need to have a tank guard , you don't need but should also fit a sump guard.
On a turbo car you also need to fit a restrictor into the inlet of the turbo , that will need to be checked by a scrutineer and sealed so it cannot be removed , this is how they cap the power on them , on a homologated group N car car they are 33mm , you can run a 34mm one if you just going to compete on clubman events

Best think you can do is join your local motor club , and pop along to any local rallies and have a chat with people running the same cars as you , there is a rally in Abingdon a week today which I'm competing on in my Clio , there are loads of Impreza's competing so come along and see for yourself , you can walk around the pits and have a look at the cars to see how they have been done

Hope this helps
