Do You Have a Multi-Use Rally Vehicle?
In some parts of the United States, surveys have revealed competitors enter just 2.3 rallies per year (RPY). Using generous assumptions that the average rally is 2 days long and provides 300 stage miles, this 2.3 RPY figure means many American rallyists are investing a great deal of time, energy, and money into building a vehicle they will drive less than 5 days (4.6) and less than 700 miles (690) per year. When you consider preparing a race vehicle can cost upwards of $6000 (on top of the cost of the vehicle itself), does rally – by itself – present a good value?
