The current SCCA requirements for side impact bars, are not met by the standard V bar in a rally car.

Rallycross does not have as strict of rules because its in open fields and such where your not likely to hit trees, rocks, or much else... Best place to learn to drive on dirt before you dive off into the open road events.

Rally cages are gusseted into the chassis, most classes of road race do not allow this so the cars are not really dual purpose except in very narrow classes, where the rally car would not compete well.
