    We took our £1000 cars RALLYING! With a small budget for modifications, we decided to blow it all on RALLY LIGHTS. Then headed to Silverstone Rally School to test them out on a real RALLY STAGE.
    We only had £200 to spend on rally mods, but all of us decided to spend the majority of the budget on rally lights - with a couple of quid left for mud flaps and spring spacers. So we were ready for anything!

    I think a great episode / series idea would be to have Callum and Will go off to a professional driving school for a week or two. Scott always seems to win these challenges based on his raw driving skill and experience, but I would love to see a video where the other two go learn as much as they can and compete head-to-head against Scott. Would be interesting to see how much they improve!

    Petition for Scott to turn the KA into a true rally car? It's a roof setup of the rally lights would look sick

    Glad y'all finally did some rally. Also the cleverness of the name change isn't lost on me, Overdrive is what comes after your Top Gear.

    When i was a kid my neighbor's dad bought a 79 civic that the previous owner used for road rallys. One day while we were driving he figured rally driving = off roading so he tried to take it and us on an ATV trail in the woods. We didn't get far but everyone survived except for the exhaust system

    The MG beating the WRX really showed why the mid-engined RWD Lancias were competitive even after the advent of 4WD in rallying. They didn't remain competitive for long once the 4WD systems got better but still. The KA destroying everything shows how important a short wheelbase is too.

    Ford Ka has nice handling, despite all the rest. In Brazil, it is a budget car for track days. Also, there's a rare version called KA XR which is a 1.6-liter version.

    We really need to see that little KA with some legitimate upgrades now.
