WHAT’S RALLY?

In medieval Europe, soldiers would compete to reach the castle in the quickest time...

here the word rally was born. Rally driving takes place mainly on public roads, offering

a vastly different experience to the maintained tracks of Formula 1. Racing at breakneck

speed, over various terrain and through all weather conditions, the speed and adrenaline

of rally racing has attracted fans from all over the world.

Production model cars are used as the base for selection.

The surface of each course varies from tarmac to dirt and snow. Rally driving requires

quicker judgment and a wider range of techniques than circuit racing. Because of this,

the world’s best drivers are said to be rally drivers.

To assist with the navigation of the course each car has a co-driver. Without their support

even the most skilled driver would be unable to drive at such high speeds. Navigators

have a great responsibility and are regarded as another driver – the co-driver.

The shortest parts of rally driving are known as Special Stages (SS). Special Stages

are held on closed sections of public road, each car driving at full speed ensuring this

is the most exciting part of rally racing. One day of racing is made up over a number

of Special Stages – the driver who has the fastest total time at the end of the day wins.

Because rallies are held on regular roads the whole course becomes a vantage point

for spectators. With no seats or fences, spectators are free to stand where they wish

to watch the rally drivers’quest for glory.
