rally racing
Point-to-point competition
Rally racing is a motorsport where drivers compete on public or private roads, typically unpaved surfaces like gravel, dirt, mud, or snow.
Unlike circuit racing, rally stages run point-to-point through varied terrain, with a co-driver reading pace notes to navigate.
Events span multiple days and conditions: The rally racing season takes drivers from Finnish forests to African deserts.
