rally driver
Off-road racing specialist
A rally driver is someone who competes in rally racing—a form of motorsport where cars race point-to-point on public or private roads, often on varied terrain like gravel, mud, snow, or asphalt.
Unlike circuit racing, rally drivers navigate unfamiliar courses with a co-driver who reads pace notes aloud: The rally driver pushed through the forest stage at dangerous speeds.
