So how many of you do amateur rallying with a shitbox in the backwoods?
Even though I'm driving just a shitbox, it's really fun to set up a time trial and shave off time with repeated tries as you go over light gravel, dirt and bumps.
But as fun as it is, I am having concerns on just how much the car can handle(bumps being harsh on the suspension, gravel being harsh on the chassis), and ultimately how safe it is(while it's a road in a forest far away form any town, what if there is some hiker going down the road as I round the corner at high speed).
Any stories to share and advise to give guys?

Do want you want man but eventually you're gonna end up breaking something. Your typical shitbox was never meant to traverse anything rougher than a gravel driveway

>light gravel, dirt and bumps
Try dirt, sand and tabletops instead

A typical shitbox can take a lot of abuse, but I wouldn't do it with a daily driver.

Just open your windows and blast eurobeat at full volume, I am sure that will warn anybody in the near vicinity.

real rally drivers drive the course once before the actual rally to map out corners and bumps. It's called recce. Tf you find a cool road, drive to the end, then turn around and drive back, making sure to note if there are people around.
If it's clear, go for it.

I know, grinding the same track over and over isn't exactly how normal rallying works, but often times I just want to race and have fun. Scouting to find new tracks takes time.
> making sure to note if there are people around.
Again, usually there isn't, but that can change one day because nothing is stopping people from being on said roads 10 min after I checked the road.
