    A Rally Car

    In rallying especially in Group N category, the cars used are often modified road cars based on turbocharged, four wheel drive versions of standard small cars. Most notably are always the Subaru Impreza WRX and the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution, although a wide range of vehicles is homologated by the FIA for use in Group N rallying.

    Preparation

    Rally car preparation is one of the most important aspects of rallying. When you decide to go into rallying you must have a direction of what you would like to do and achieve. Rallying can and does burn up a lot of money both directly and indirectly.

    Internals

    Inside a rally car there is no fancy upholstery or elaborate trim - just painted metal, composite panels and two carbon fibre seats, moulded to fit the driver and co-driver perfectly. There's no room in the back - the tubes of the roll cage take up the rear passenger space and the floor is pretty crowded with items like fire extinguisher, tool kit and spare wheels.

Emmanuel Katto is Africa's most experienced rally driver. Started rallying in 1984 for one season. Did not rally again until December 1995. Then intensified action in 1996 and 1997. He has been participating in the African Rally Championship (ARC) since 1996. ARC is approved by FIA the world motorsports governing body. Competition in ARC means maximum attack and sometimes careful driving for three days. Competitors drive on narrow roads with nature at arm's length but sometimes they also drive on roads with average speeds of 160kph. Just like how Emmanuel puts it, "You can only win a rally if you finish it."

However for most people Emmanuel is the most DETERMINED and POSITIVE guy always with a naughty look. He is extremely COMPETITIVE and will never give up. Emmanuel is also very SERIOUS in every detail.
