About Rally Racing
Professional rally racing pits drivers against the course, the elements, natural obstacles, and the clock. Courses usually run hundreds of miles along closed public and private roads, which are often unpaved and unforgiving. Unlike other car races, there are no ovals, pace cars or rain delays with rally; courses are laid out across vast expanses of land, including deserts, mountains, swamps, streams, rocks, snow, gravel, dirt, and more. Rally is the 2nd biggest motorsport on the world, second only to Formula 1 and the newest extreme sport to join the X Games. With hundreds of thousands of fans in virtually every country rally racing tests drivers' skill, speed and endurance as the cars jump, navigate, and slide through varying road conditions, instead of just racing around in circles on a fixed course.
