Rally Racing

Post by MR_BKDW »

Has any one seen a Vibe in a rally race or have actully race one in a rally race. I have never seen one on the races I have watched on tv being either the WRC or the SCCA races. In the PS2 game Global Rally Campionship:Africa the Vibe is a car you can race with. Just wondering if the vibe is really a rally racing car.

I haven't seen a Vibe in Rally but I don't see why one couldn't be set up to run. Would be interesting. Hmmm....

Well, according to THIS LINK, a Pontiac Vibe finished 14th in the 2002 Alcan Rally (8-26-02), which is a 9-day / 5,000 mile tour rally (not like the Paris-Dakar) rally. It looks like real rally cars entered the race:ex: Challenge Driving SubaruThe route is approximately 5,000 miles long, through Alaska and western Canada, hence the name, "Alcan".Alcan 5000 official websiteThank you google

I've seen a picture of a matrix rally car on matrixowners.com. It had a full night time set up including that bad (removed) light kit!!!!

i think rally racing would be so fun to do i would love to hook up the vibe but that will have to wait till i am rich and have several cars and can afford such things. I think rally racking would be the most fun of all racing to participate in
