i hear you have to get a special exemption to get a car above a 2 litre in and make sure its not out of spirit of the rally . which is bollocks , do handy if you have a new 2.0 evo.

any how hard is it to get an exemption and can you only have 2 people if your car only holds 2?

2 Students from LIT(Limertick not Letterkenny) won it

ye, no cars above 2ltr allowed

its fine just get a new gti and then remap it and you will be WAY faster than anyone else there.:D

yeah.but if i ever get a gti i would get it to 272 bhp, my mate has one like that and it has AMAZING pick up in a small car.

does the Mitusbishi Evo 2.0 not have 320 or 326 bhp ( Mitusbishi Evo IX FQ-320 ) Actually thats a good question which car would be the fastest plus require the least fuel stops cause thats were you loose the time.

is this the same " its rally not a race" so how the lit crowd win it for speed or for spirit . I could always be the unoffical winner like team 144 in gumball.

if you chip a car, you'll get about 15/20 bhp more out of it, not 72!

No, a gti can gain 40bhp from remap and then 30 for a straight through exhaust system.his is proven 272bhp.
