I’ve been looking around to see how to get involved in rallycross events in Southern California, and accidentally stumbled upon this video on Youtube. I think KP61 rally cars look like they would be pretty fun, yet dangerous because of the small size! Especially when you do JUMPS with them! Such a short wheelbase car, and so light, flying through the air like that! Crazy!

I love the car in this video too. It’s an early model (zenkl) Starlet – possibly a 1979 model? It’s the round headlight version, which Filipinos refer to as the “ibon” (bird) Starlet. I don’t understand why the round headlights make old Filipinos think of a bird, but maybe if it’s flying through the air like it is in this video, it makes sense…?
