Is anyone else interested in cars and motorsport?

(I wasn't sure where to put this, so say if it should be somewhere else )
I've got two main hobbies, chickens and cars.
More specifically, I'm really into rallying.
I navigate, so it's up to me to tell the driver where to go, as well as dealing with most of the organizing.
We are only just getting into it, so there's still lots to learn.
I also like driving myself, in the entry level events, and helping work on the car.
Anyone else interested?

We've got Ford Fiesta XR4, it's a small hatch back.
My brother drives, and the family service, so it's a great thing that we can do together.

It sure is!
Ours is all stripped out,and has a full roll cage, new seats and belts.
There's a lot of regulations to comply with, to keep everyone safe.
We've only done one rally so far, which was a two day event; and there a couple of one day events coming up, so it's getting exciting!
At the moment, we are one of the slowest cars (due to lack of experience) but hopping to improve that.
