Returning to the Trails to play with a Rally!

[Arkarch]

Hello,

I am negotiating a 2025 Velocity Blue MME Rally order. Forums are the best!

I was a very active member of ClubTouareg (1090 Posts) back when VW sold proper Offroad-equipped Touaregs in the US. I challenged many trail runs in the San Juans, Moab, Anzo-Borrego (Outdoor Adventure USA), Big Bear, and my home turf in Las Vegas with Vegas Valley 4 Wheelers. Sadly, my rig died a Transfer Case/Transmission death at 180k a couple years back.

I do not have the nerves to play on the Hell's Revenge fins anymore - and not likely with a Rally due to clearance and approach/departure angles - but I still like playing in the dirt! As for asphalt, I got some club racing friends so maybe we'll run it around the High Plains, Spring Mountain, or Willow Springs tracks.

This is the first post. We will check in more when the Rally is delivered. Some modding ahead.

Welcome to the forum! I hope you have a lot of fun with your MME Rally! ??

Welcome!

I have the 2024 Rally. I find it great fun, and I have not had the opportunity to really let loose.

I look forward to following your journey with the Rally.

Welcome! Can't wait to see your Rally delivered, and I'm very curious to see what mods you do. I know RallyArmor already offers their mud flaps. I'm not sure how much longer it will be until the aluminum battery shield mentioned in the reviews will be available, but I'd have to think it's soon.

Welcome to the forum! I am also working on ordering a Velocity Blue Rally, multiple disruptions slowing that down, like power outages, the holiday weekend, and manager availability. Hopefully that will be placed in the next few days. I do like the RallyArmor flaps. I am having the stripes deleted, but if they were white they would look good on the blue.

White graphics on a Velocity Blue Rally with the white wheels would look goooood

friend of mine who races Rally and Rallycross all the time explained how an EV could be great for Rallycross but not really great for Rally just yet. Quite different sports. Ford optimized the vehicle for Rallycross but then named it “rally”. ?‍

Sounds like a lot of fun! We're in the San Diego area and would love to check it out and maybe film some of your adventures for the Mach-E Vlog!

Mach-E VLOG - I got friends in Vista - so down there. As well been out in the Anzo-Borrego area. Could be arranged.

highland58 - I am back and forth on the stripes - would really like to dump the side badging. I agree - the white would be better. Also working the deal through this crazy weekend.

music_cities - Agree. I have been around SCCA Pro-Solo - edit out name - . Not been around Rallycross. I'd have to work at it. Most of my other car friends are from PCA Rocky Mountain or motorsport photographers - mostly Vintage.

spartan - Aluminum skid-plate a must. I do not know the default protection on the Mach-E - but knowing what I have done to rocker panels, suspension components and other, I do not want to torpedo the battery pack.

HuntingPudel - like the profilepic. What track?

Having ripped a Rally around a dirt track, you will have a blast!

I shot that photo of the Grey Ghost at Sears Point. IIRC, it won its HTA race that day. ??
