A_spider, no there is nothing special needed for the car. All you need for the Mini or road rallys is driver, navigator, odometer (stock or alternative), lighting inside the car if it is at night, maybe some additional lights on the car for night events (mind you they have to be wired to your high beams), and willingnes to go for it.
Sorry if you think it sounds boring, but trust me it isn't all that bad. There might be some slow sections, but it's all worth it. As far as I know there isn't anything out there that will let you 'race' on open public roads above the speed limit or anything in that sense that will be legal. If you want something more challenging, wait for the winter series next year. But going to a road rally will prepare you and the navigator for the fun to come. I believe in the summer they organize Rally sprints, which are on the gravel pit, where you test your skills against the clock. I haven't read the rules that closely yet, but there is always some limitations that depends on your car. If it's stock lower speed limit, and I believe, but don't quote me on that that if you go with a roll cage and 4 or 5 point harness its a different story. Not everybody has all that money to throw into the car, but at least you can work your way up. Oh, I was mistaken previously about the Big Apple.. The rally on the 12th will be just north of Cobourg, sorry for the confusion, all info is on the web page. Cheers Jake
