I could expect this one coming. It's easy - although rally cars have licence plates, you can't drive them on public road anytime you want, only when rally takes place. So, not allowed.
Rally cars are road legal, er... otherwise they wouldn't be allowed on the public road. If you owned a WRC you could drive it to the shops if you fancied it. It's just a shame no one ever does!
err... isn't that like saying F1 cars are road legal because they drive on the streets of Monoco?
Never Mind...
thats a closed course where cars are dropped on location. There are some events that allow F1s to drive on the road but it is for promotional things. Rally cars have to drive on real roads and in traffic (if need be) to get from stages to pit or vice versa sometimes nearly 100mi though im not sure if there is a deal made to allow them to do so or if they actually are fully road legal. Near me there is a rally where the start is 1.5hrs (80-100mi) away from the main staging location and the pits are 5-10miles away as well. (Almost watched Pastrana stall out trying to get on the road after a clutch issure on one stage.) Its a fair question I would say.
