Red Bull Global Rallycross fans who expected to see Alex Keyes make his GRC Lites debut in Fort Lauderdale were in for a surprise when Duncker Felix Jr. (Driving Instructor for The FIRM) stepped into the #61 Dreyer & Reinbold Racing car for the opener. Keyes, at the time battling illness, wasn’t cleared to drive for the weekend, necessitating the last-minute switch and relegating the Californian to the spotter’s stand for the weekend.

But in his adaptation to all-wheel drive, Keyes spent plenty of time testing. The most recent on-track session came on Wednesday, when Keyes and teammate Miles Maroney shook down their cars at The FIRM Rally School, roughly an hour away from the track.

WRC: FIA evaluating future of current cars

Tuesday, 10 May 2016
The FIA will table a proposal for the future of current specification World Rally Cars before the end of this month.
The existing machinery will not be competitive against the faster and more-advanced 2017 WRC cars, but will remain homologated and therefore technically legal to compete in the World Rally Championship.
Manufacturers and private teams are keen to know they will figure in the championship, and WRC manager Jarmo Mahonen has raised concerns over the potential confusion of running the cars alongside 2017 machinery. Cars built to R5 specification already compete under the WRC2 banner.
"Do we really need to create something between R5 and the 2017 World Rally cars?" Mahonen said. "Shall we screw the R5 cars by running the [2016 World Rally cars]? That doesn't sound good. We have so many R5 cars now, that category is clearly a success.
"We are discussing with the manufacturers what shall we do with the old car. I have asked for some feedback and we will have some sort of proposal by the end of the month."
http://damcdn.autosport.com/editoria...54e3c7b8cb.jpgMahonen hotly denied speculation that the current cars had already been condemned.
"Somebody told me this, they said we had made the decision already to ban them, but that is absolutely not the case," he said. "Citroen is selling some cars to PH-Sport, Hyundai has some and, of course, M-Sport is selling these current cars – but all of those teams have an R5 car."
Many of the WRC's current private drivers are not willing to step back to R5 cars, but getting 2017 machinery could be tricky as manufacturers struggle to supply cars in the first half of next season. M-Sport's Malcolm Wilson has pointed to the gap between R5 and 2017-specification cars if current cars are outlawed.
"It's a massive gap," Wilson told Autosport. "I think it will be quite difficult for drivers to get up to speed with the new 2017 car coming out of an R5 car. The obvious thing for me is to leave the current cars there and maybe create another tier which will fill that gap.
"We're only looking at a year or two at the most for this solution, the [current] cars don't have a long shelf life. The teams are all stopping building them now, with the focus moving to the new cars, so there simply won't be the cars around in a couple of years."
Wilson added that turning away potential customers for the world championship made no sense, commercially or from a sporting and spectacle perspective.
"We have got lots of customers who are really keen to compete in the World Rally Championship and in a World Rally car," he said. "Understandably, the FIA wants to restrict access to the new cars, but it would be a shame to turn away more competitors when there are cars sitting around that could be used."

Toyota RAV4 Rally - NEW VIDEO! ON THE LOOSE, ep. 3. Shakedown time for the Toyota RAV4 rally car

http://www.racer.com/components/com_...otator_pic.jpg

[h=2]NEW VIDEO! ON THE LOOSE, ep. 3. Shakedown[/h]







As the clock ticks down to the Toyota RAV4's rally debut, it's time for Ryan Millen to shake it down and see how it performs.
http://www.racer.com/images/2015/Jun...tart-block.jpg
On The Loose, Episode 3, "We're a three-man army..." sees Millen, his girlfriend and navigator Christina Fate, and lead mechanic Brian Hoeppner take the rally-prepped RAV4 to the California/Arizona border to put it through its paces on some suitably fast and rough roads.
The first shakedown is always the moment of truth, and the nerves are building as the RAV4 emerges from its trailer and heads out to the gravel-strewn roads outside of Blythe, Calif. How will it handle? Will it be quick? Will anything break? And how will Ryan and Christina adapt to the demands of calling and following pace notes? Check out Episode 3...
The back story: Ryan Millen, son of rally legend Rod and a 2014 SCORE Tecate Baja 1000 class winner, is switching to stage rallying this year in a production-based 2015 Toyota RAV4 LE.
Not an obvious choice? You could say that, but the 30-year-old Millen wouldn't have it any other way.
http://www.racer.com/images/2015/Jun...RAV4/pic_2.jpg
The family-friendly, compact crossover SUV will be competing against rally-honed machinery such as Ford's Fiesta and the Subaru WRX in a number of West Coast-based events, starting in the fast forests of Idaho.
Sure, it's a challenge, but taking a different approach is what makes it such a compelling project. And Millen is confident that the road car RAV4 is a capable platform from which to develop a competitive rally racer.
RACER.com likes to do things differently, too, so we're following Ryan as he builds, tests and races his RAV4 with our On The Loose video series, plus blogs and feature stories through the year.

Millen and his crew removed more than 500lbs of stock weight, while adding a roll cage, gravel-spec rally tires, and upgrading to front and rear TEIN suspension.

NEW! ON THE LOOSE: RACER goes rallying with Ryan Millen and the Toyota RAV4

Wednesday, 20 May 2015 "Something's going on here," notes Pikes Peak Hill Climb and rallying legend Rod Millen of his family's motorsports accomplishments. "I haven't quite figured it out yet, but we've all been attracted to doing something unique and different."
In Rod's case, "unique and different" includes smashing the Pikes Peak outright record in a pickup truck – a no-holds-barred, fire-breathing, turbocharged Toyota Tacoma, no less.
http://www.racer.com/images/2015/May...tart-block.jpgAnd the latest Millen to take the road less traveled and race outside the box is Rod's son, Ryan.
The 2014 SCORE Tecate Baja 1000 class winner is gearing up to go stage rallying this year...in a production-based 2015 Toyota RAV4 LE.
Not an obvious choice? You could say that, but the 30-year-old Millen wouldn't have it any other way.
The family-friendly, compact crossover SUV is set to make its debut June 13-14 on the fast gravel stages of the Idaho Rally, competing against rally-honed machinery such as Ford's Fiesta and the Subaru WRX. Sure, it's going to be a challenge, but taking a different approach is what makes it such a compelling project. And Millen is confident that the road car RAV4 is a strong platform from which to develop a capable rally racer.
"I've driven just about everything Toyota has to offer," he says. "And I've been very impressed with the RAV4's tight, compact body and smooth handling. I'm looking forward to putting it through its paces this season."

http://www.racer.com/images/2015/May...Christina1.jpg"I'm looking forward to taking RACER.com along for the ride," says Millen, who'll have his girlfriend, Christina Fate (with Ryan, LEFT), alongside as navigator. "It's a big learning curve for me, and I'm sure we'll have our ups and downs along the way, but I can't wait to get out there and start competing."
On The Loose, Episode 1, "Here Comes The Pressure," gets things rolling as Ryan and his older brother, Global Rallycross ace Rhys, begin the build of the RAV4 rally car. But the clock's ticking...
