A Hybrid Goes Rallying! . . . INSIGHT!
http://www.autoindustry.co.uk/articles/01-08-06
". . .
The Oaktec petrol-electric hybrid Honda Insight competes in the Formula 1000 rally series based in NW England. After 4 rounds of the ANWCC Formula 1000 Tarmac Rally championship the Oaktec Honda Insight Hybrid is lying 7th overall in the Championship and 2nd in Class A for production spec cars.
The car won class A in the last 2 rounds, the Smartmole Weeton Stages near Blackpool and on July 15th at the Camsport Ranges Stages, a remote military range near Aberystwyth in Snowdonia.
. . ."
Way to GO! BTW, one of the photos, the Insight has grabbed some 'air'.
It is nice to read positive stories too.

The car's super light weight, well balanced chassis would make it a nice platform for rally or autocross racing.
