Marcus Grönholm want's to race! According to him it would be fun to attend some of the European rallycross events this year. :thumbsup:

FIA European Rallycross Championship (ERC) cars are built based on production car body shells but are extensively modified. A typical ERC series car technical specifications are a 2 litre turbocharged 4 cylinder 16 valve engine with a 45 mm turbo restrictor rated at +550 bhp (410 kW) and 800 N·m (590 ft·lbf) of torque, four wheel drive with programmable active differentials and six-speed gearbox, 1200 kg (current FIA regulations) and will do the 0–100 km/h (about 0–62 mph) sprint in less than 2.5 seconds, thereby faster than a Formula One racer, some other ERC Division 1 cars are already claimed by their drivers to need even less than 2 seconds.

So ERC cars are BEASTS!
