I would love to go rally racing some day. I know it's no substitute but I love playing rally tracks in gran tursimo 3 and 4 with the GT wheel.
my favorite kind of race would have to be... the ones where I don't lose

2007 Mazdaspeed 3 GT, red. Only mods so far: MS CAI, Cobb AccessPORT Stage 1+ MS CAI map v101, and a scraped up rear bumper, 250 whp/281 ft lbs BEFORE the AccessPORT
SRT-4 interiors are teh slow
Second toy:
2007 Civic Si coupe (wife's car), also red (Funny thing is silver is my favorite color...), also stock
I have Rallied and been involved with 2 SCCA Pro Rally Championship winning seasons and I believe it is the purest form of Motorsport out there today with the best most instinctive drivers on the planet. It take huge nuts to be a good rally car driver or even navigator!

This is true, and with the rebirth of Rally in America through RallyAmerica, I'm hoping the sport begins to grow again.
Real Roads, Real Cars, Real Fast.

I think I have the balls... lord knows I drive my own cars like a nut on mountain roads and such when no ones around.
But for real rallying... I dunno I'd need another car that I wouldn't mind if it got trashed. Because... I don't think it's a matter of IF, but just a matter of WHEN.
Drag racing isn't really racing, it should be removed from the poll
???????? racing in circles(laps) is for people who are lost and dont know where they are going, they should just pull over and get directions.
DRAG RACING IS FOR REAL MEN WHO KNOW WHAT THEY WANT, WHEN THEY WANT IT, AND HOW TO GET THERE AS QUICK AS POSSIBLE WITHOUT GETTING LOST AND DRIVING IN CIRCLES.

No, drag racing is for fast cars, road racing is for fast drivers, Roundy Round racing is for people who are amused by watching shiny objects go around in circles.
Road racing takes all the skill! plus it's so much fun to see the look on the rice-boyz faces when they not only get their a$$e$ handed to 'em in a straight line, but the twisties as well!
