We're not really sure what kind of person looks at a Lamborghini Gallardo and thinks, "This would be perfect for rallycross," but we think we'd like to be that person's friend.
Does the fact that they are (mostly) mid-engined, all-wheel-drive cars make these Lamborghinis at least somewhat suited for rally driving?

I love seeing a hypercar owner out using it.

I don't know which is more impressive, that somebody was crazy enough to race a Gallardo wheel to wheel on dirt, or the guy in the beater Audi who's giving him a run for his money.

Why oh why isn't club rallycross a thing in this country? I'm not talking autocross on dirt, I'm talking real rallycross.
Also there was a guy about four or five years ago here in the States building a Gallardo for stage rally. Did it ever get finished and compete anywhere?

I'm guessing that niche is filled by dirt ovals here.

Excellent point that now I think of it I've made myself before!

That was the Brakimghini. As far as I know the owner relocated to Florida and has not rallied it or the M3 that he used to run since, I'm not sure if the Gallardo was ever logbooked but it looks like the cage was completed.

At about the 3:36 mark of the film there is a black 2 seater that I first thought was a MR2 Spyder, but it's not.
What is it?

Ahh. My other thought was Smart-Roadster but that wasn't right either.
