Aston Martin V8 Vantage rally car!

[IainW]

Quite possibly one of the most unusual rally cars I've ever seen. Driven by Subaru WRC driver Stephane Sarrazin on the Lyon-Charbonnieres rally this weekend. Built by Prodrive for Frederic Dor.

Looks the same as a normal one.

I wonder if we'll ever see a jacked up version like the Dakar 959

I did notice the tyres, but not the cage or the other bits.

i still have the marks on my head / helmet and the bad back from a weeks worth of testing, thanks to a roll cage that makes an already small car, V small!.

If you rally an aston, i recommend being under 5.8 foot tall!


it's also currently quieter than a std one, due to the road car not having to pass the rally 101dBa limits - DOH!

If it were mine everytime I heard a stone hit the body work I'd be thinking "that's another £500!!!"

Well that has just made me throw down my pen in disgust.....I have decided I am not working this afternoon.....I'm striking at having a sh1t job compared to you.

Got any work experience places places going for an eager to learn 34 year old

those really special, rare, expensive, gold encrusted bonnet pins are available at Demon Tweeks. They seem to be popping up everywhere at the minute.

 

[Chris Eyre]

I wonder what inspired Mr Dor to rally one of these...

Has he already tried the Ferrari 550 Maranello rally car?
