The TRCC are having a “real” Rally around the (proposed) HSR station area in Yunlin County 12th and 13th January. 120 car entry apparently,including a Super 1600 Fiat Kitcar from Europe (sounds awesome) . If you are into Motorsport it should be a great weekend. I would welcome the opportunity to meet up with any Forumosans who enjoy Motorsport(I think!) and will post further details ,when available.
Sounds cool. But sadly I’ll be in China
I’ll go.
Be good to see you !! Maybe we can find a car for you !!
Are you entering the race or just spectating?
Oh, this sounds great - please keep me updated!
Yes I will be competing. GBs mediocre talent against Taiwans’ finest :discodance:
Sounds fantastic! I wish I could participate…
Should be good fun. If you have a car it may be possible,although it is under the Authority of the F.I.A . So should be a properly arranged affair and there are some pretty fast Imprezas out here with good drivers.120+ cars expected so should be fair Media cover. Unfortunately they have decided to put me at car 1 ,i think…no pressure then

Haha, unfortunately I don’t have my own car in Taiwan and it’s been years since I last raced and wish I could get back into the sport.
What are the car/safety requirements and how are the cars classed?
I’m also interested in going to watch. Let us know the details!
Are you serious now? i thought there was basically ZERO motorsports in Taiwan but the illegal tuners down in Kaoh (which is not a sport), and karting (god i love karting). But what do i know…
Yes !!! Really. There is now a full entrylist of 120 cars. The quality of most of the cars is not the same as a European event,which is to be expected, but there is a “real” Fiat Super1600 Kitcar (screamer!) as car Zero. There will be Imprezas and an awful lot of Saxo/civics I suspect. I think there is a drift demo during the weekend also…with maybe a Porsche 997 GT3 drifting. Also there will be a Caterham R500 competing. Should be interesting at least

Safety requirements?..one class for safe cars and one class for dangerous cars :bravo: this is Taiwan. I wish i could use this car:
Any more info on this event, it might be interesting. Is there a Chinese website? I want to know which roads will be closed to and where will be good [safe] spectating points? Will they use dirt roads or asphalt?
Hi sorry I am trying to get an English version of the details ! Schedule is approx as follows:
Departure ceremony: 102 years, January 12 (Saturday)Award ceremony: 102 years, January 13 (Sunday) Racing schedule:… Saturday: 08:00~11:30 13:00~16:30Sunday: 08:00~11:30 12:00~15:30Tail-flick show, SG dance show schedule:Saturday: 11:00 p 15:00 pSunday: 11:00 p 15:00 p
Tail-flick show= Drifting Demonstration. Dance Show= Showgirls prancing about i guess.
I have to say i am very sad as at least 4 Nissan GTR cars are competing…very very fast,lots of electronic wizardry to help traction. My car has to rely on a 50 year old Colin chapman design with a driver as old !! So 100 years joint experience should balance things up
The TRCC have a Facebook page, I will try to find a link…sorry it’s all Chinese to me Here is a PIC of the area if you can read it? Yunlin HSR station construction area…
The TRCC facebook page (chinese so i am struggling) may have more info and a few maps. Link but not sure if it works. I will try to post more info tomorrow.
thanks for the map… eagerly waiting for more info…
