New Practice facility for rally cars


Gauging interest for new rally practice facility.

If you're into roadracing, Solo I, etc, you can practice on various road courses such as Mosport, Shannonville, Cayuga, Dunneville at lapping days, etc.

No permanant facility for rally cars.

Three gravel /dirt tracks available within 1-2 hours of Toronto willing to rent out existing track out to rally cars - No roll cages required.

Ideal for:

1. test and tune for performance rally teams

2. lapping day for newbies and old pros to practice rally skills

3. anyone interested in getting into rallying




Let me know if you're interested. If no interest than will not proceed further with project

Interesting idea, is this something you would consider building or is it an existing facility?

Could also be used for rallycross style events, which I suspect would be well attended.

I've got 3 existing facilities willing to rent their tracks.

No noise, insurance issues whatsoever.

rent their tracks?

Are you saying that these facilities have a gravel/dirt road system in place already? Or is it basically an open gravel pit?

What are the local areas where the facilities are?

Are the facilities being used for any thing else at this time?

What is the approximate cost to rent one of the tracks for a day?

Very interesting, this may help boost the rally scence in Ontario.

Thanks
