road rally
Checkpoint driving competition
A road rally is a competitive driving event on public roads, where participants navigate a predetermined course following detailed instructions rather than racing for pure speed.
Unlike track racing, road rallies emphasize precise timing and navigation: drivers aim to maintain specific average speeds and reach checkpoints at exact times.
We entered the vintage car road rally through the mountains.
Some rallies are casual club events; others are grueling multi-day competitions across difficult terrain.
