WRX / SIM / DIRT

Dirt is
data.

A 2025 Subaru WRX, a rally sim, and a plan to learn what happens when the surface stops cooperating. This is the field journal.

Learn it in the sim.
Prove it in the dirt.

Rallycross compresses a lot of driving into a small piece of ground. Grip changes. Weight moves. A good line disappears by the next run.

I am using Richard Burns Rally and other sims to build the habits, then taking the WRX out to find which lessons survive contact with a real course.

01IN THE RIG

Sim lab

RBR, rally sims, drills, stage notes, and the slow work of making car control automatic.

  • Vision and placement
  • Weight transfer
  • Loose-surface rotation
02IN THE GARAGE

WRX prep

The practical path from daily driver to first event, with every choice and compromise recorded.

  • Baseline and inspection
  • Tires and pressures
  • Event-day checklist
03ON THE CLOCK

Event log

Runs, results, mistakes, repairs, and the honest answer to what actually made the car faster.

  • Course walk
  • Run-by-run notes
  • Next-session goals

The page is staged.
The story starts next.

This space will grow with the project. Expect training logs, event notes, car setup decisions, video, data, and the occasional expensive lesson.
