Now my brother's 325i rally project is pretty much stuck - no money, no time, and the E30 M3 also in the garage... which is funnier and quicker - but he considered taking part in the WRC event in Catalonia, although he was sure he couldn't take part for some technical reason. May be now he changes his mind... :whistle: :evil:

Saw this a few days ago (dno why I didn't post  :?) and I have to say that was an awesome read! Not to mention a few places which  were as suspenseful as a good thriller (for a rally fan at least), the whole underdog story was really inspiring.

I'd loooove to do that some day.

Thas said, the whole $500 angle is a bit wrong. He might have bought the car for that amount, but getting it ready for the rally was definitely a bit more. Not to mention the entrance fee, for an average Joe this might have still been a pretty decent amount to spend.

The Rally of Mexico not only had WRC participants, but also some drivers from other categories (P-WRC and WRC Cup), including the Rally America class, which is the class this guy entered.

 :)

He did finish 3rd in class because there were only 9 cars in total, and 4 of them were almost-standard 206 XS or Clio Sports... with only 3 other competitive cars: 3 Evos and a 206 WRC driven by Triviño.
