Team ONeill Rally School
Did the three day rally school at Team ONeill earlier this week. It was really a hoot. Took a little while to shed some of my hard-earned asphalt instincts and get used to driving on wet gravel. Once the transition is made, though, it has a much greater hoot to risk ratio than track days. Left foot braking, pendulum turns, steering with brake and accelerator (turning the wheel doesn't do anything, the car just keeps going straight ahead, touch the brake and the rear end comes around pretty as you please). I will go back as soon as I can. Maybe I need to forget about the respray on the SVX, add 3" of height to the Ground Controls, get some gravel tires, and find the nearest rallycross. Here is a clip of one of my runs taken by my faithful co-driver Christian Anschuetz. Don't know if you can see it, if you're not his or my friend on Facebook (let me know and I'll try to post it to youtube, if you can't get it). Watch it full screen
