I volunteer/ help guy's work the pits at these pro rally's, and it really isnt that much more than other types of racing. Id say the most expensive part is gas and tires.

MAN!!! No one mentioned in the 2nd vid that the 7 rolls off the cliff backwards!!!! His rear wheel drive *** slid backwards right off the dirt road. That one might not still be running rally.
