Formula Cross - Go Kart rallycross?


Rally Pat

Recommended Posts

Not much in the way of details released about this yet, but supposedly is a spec rally go-kart racing series, with a kit you can build or buy based on a Yamaha YZF 450 ATV. I have been emailing back and forth with a guy named AJ Grasso who works at Rhys Millen Racing, who are facilitating this whole thing, and it sounds like it could be a lot of fun.

 

All of the good pictures are on their facebook page:

That looks like it would be a LOT of fun! I wonder of the expense?

Well, a YZ is about 7-9k new. I'm sure you can tack on another few grand for equipment, etc. Expensive when it's all said and done, but that's a relative term.

Then why not a Honda Pilot? This reminds me of the Bandelero series racing except with roll cages and off road suspension. Cool though.

I think they're trying to make them look car-like to capitalize on Euro RallyCross.

Yeah, that's pennies on the dollar when compared to prepping a car for stage rally/rally cross.

 

These things look awesome. I want one.

Wish these things weren't hard to find because they were fun as hell, and woul make a good rallycross vehicle for people not wanting to buy a Subaru.
