id like to see your well composed educated reasons as to why its questionable
im not slagging off the car, or the competition, im saying you are driving around with no protection with your heads inchs away from some steel pipe. Which is fine if you are adhereing to the rules by what i understand them to be.
If you are not sticking to the rules, but also driving without any care for your safety or others then im afraid i have no respect for you or the car

Scrutineers go over the car with a fine tooth comb. Both my pumas have been built with rallying in mind,
hence both have MSA competition logbooks, the cars are 100 % safe, and the reason i do Road Rallying is due to cost and time.
I have spent well over 10 years in the woods etc all over europe rallying, spending many of thousands of pounds enjoying my sport.
To call road rallying boring is a bit harsh when you know nothing about the sport, road rallying is as popular now as it was in the 70s when works GP4 cars used to take to the roads, we do not sit at 30 mph thats for sure. watch a welsh event and you will see escorts worth 50-60k, millington engines, clicky boxes, etc. None of which would be built if we had to do 30mph.
There is padding in my car, and with welded cds seat mounts, alloy sidemounts, motordrive pro seats and sabelt belts, the chances of me popping my head like a melon are greatly reduced.
Your still using the factory frames in yours, i would seriously consider welding in some tubes, alloy mounts and some decent seats.

The reason it pisses me off is because im forever seeing wannabe mavericks in bodged up track cars flying round tracks, if they want to hurt themselves then its up to them but with 15 or whatever others on track at the same time, it pisses me off that one of these idiots could at any point take me out and be liable for non of there stupidity

I did stage rallying for years, but this is thousands cheaper and just as much fun, more so
Sometimes!
