Motorsports – Quick Guides, News, and How‑Tos

Welcome to the motorsports tag page. Here you’ll find short, practical posts that cover everything from rally basics to the newest car models making a splash on the track. Whether you’re a seasoned driver or just curious about what makes a Subaru WRX feel like a rally beast, we’ve got the info you need.

Rally Basics You Should Know

Rally drivers rely on two main sticks: the gear lever and the handbrake. The gear lever lets you shift quickly through the range, while the handbrake helps you lock the rear wheels for tight turns or slides. Knowing when to pull the handbrake can shave seconds off a stage and keep you in control on loose gravel.

Group B cars were banned in the 1980s because they got too fast for safety. Those machines were light, powerful, and often out of control, leading to tragic accidents. The FIA stepped in, ending Group B and tightening rules to protect drivers and spectators.

Thinking about turning a stock Subaru WRX into a rally car? It’s not rally‑ready straight from the factory, but its turbo engine, symmetrical all‑wheel drive, and strong chassis give it a solid foundation. Add a roll cage, upgraded suspension, and a tuned ECU, and you’ve got a car that can handle rough stages.

Rally racing is a popular motorsport in many countries, but it has yet to gain traction in the United States.

These include a lack of organized events, the cost and difficulty of finding a car suitable for rally racing, and the relatively low public awareness of the sport. Additionally, the American motorsport infrastructure does not support the sport, making it difficult for rally racers to get the necessary permits and insurance.
