That’s awesome. It would be cool if it actually took off, but it will probably fizzle out quickly.

you could probably buy an old subaru for less and take it to rally-x events, so I don’t think it really fits any specific void. As with most motorsports, event locations are more of an issue than finding suitable vehicles.
That said, I would be interested in seeing the process for converting the raptor. Might be a fun project to do, then register as a homemade vehicle.

That looks like a hell of a lot of fun.
And since it’s quad based I’m sure you’d have FAR less repair expenses than trying to bash a street based car around off road racing.

Why not just buy a side by side? Don’t they make those super quick two seaters?

With a hard cab:
It’s a cool idea but I wouldn’t bother building a whole new “car”.

interesting…its not just some company. Its RMR, Rhys Millen Racing. Not really a new concept though, just reskinned in a trendy rally car body. See Stadium Lite racing.

Now that I’ve watched the video, that looks REALLY slow. Was it a bone stock 660?
