What is Rallying?
Rallying is racing over closed, generally rural and unpaved roads known as special stages, with street legal automobiles in all types of weather.
Teams, consisting of a driver and a co-driver are set out at one minute intervals, racing against a clock. Typically, a rally will occur over one or two days, with a minimum of 100 miles of special stages split up by transit sections.
Each team is given a route book prior to the start of the rally. The co-driver uses the information in the route book and a precision odometer to keep the driver on course. The driver determines what speed and angle to enter each turn or crest by reading the road and listening to the co-drivers constant instructions. At the end of a rally the stage times are added up and the team with the lowest cumulative time wins.
