	Rallying - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A typical rally course consists of a sequence of relatively short (up to about 50 kilometers) timed "special stages" where the actual competition takes place, and untimed "transport stages" where the rally cars must be driven under their own power to the next competitive stage within a generous time limit.
		Rally cars are thus unlike virtually any other top-line racing cars in that they retain the ability to run at normal driving speeds, and indeed are registered for street travel.
		Group B cars were banned in 1986 because of an unacceptable number of deaths and injuries among drivers and spectators.

	12 Car Navigational Rallies
		The main difference between a 12-Car Navigational Rally and a Navigational Scatter is that a 12-Car is a fixed route event, i.e.
		Cars start the first section at 1 minute intervals - the start times for subsequent Sections depend on how far behind the crew is. The start and finish of each Section is marked with a Time Control (TC).
		However, if entry is restricted to twelve cars, the regulations governing the event are less strict than those for normal navigational rallies.

	Using a Radio Checksheet on MSA Car Rallies
		Use a space on your checksheet for noting cars that are stuck in stage and where they are, cars that will not appear for any other reason and for any other notes that will help you follow the course of the rally.
		Remember the first competitor car past you might not necessarily be the first one into stage, if it isn't and you have had no news of it from earlier in the stage, tell Control the second has arrived but not the first.
		You write down the car numbers in the right side as they pass and cross off their numbers in a square on the left.

	Rallysport Magazine On-line - How To Start Rallying
		While the sight of World Rally Cars flying through the air at supersonic speeds might set your blood on fire, just remember that to purchase one of these could cost you around $1 million – and that’s not including the running costs for a season!
		Of course not all car clubs are the same – some are involved in circuit racing only, others with historic motorsport, there are one-make car clubs and there are others involved purely in rallying, so you need to choose one which suits your needs and specialises in rallies.
		Rallying isn’t a totally male-dominated sport – there are many excellent female co-drivers and drivers competing around the world and the physical demands are not beyond either guys or girls.

	Getting Started
		Crash helmets, intercoms and fireproof racing overalls are for special stage rallying and definitely not to be worn on road rallies as they would give the general public the impression that we're racing on the public road.

		In exceptional circumstances you can enter a car that was first registered after 31.12.74, but you must be able to prove that the actual car was built before that date.

		Skoda's modern Octavia is no Mini; it's up there with the big guns as a pukka World Rally Car, but it's one with a total development budget that the Ford Focus or Peugeot 206 enjoy in a single season.
		The 1984 world champion's greatest success had come with Audi's awesome Quattro, but he had cut his teeth in harrying underpowered little front-wheel-drive cars through the snow, and was looking forward to the three day trek round Scotland, England and Wales with rejuvenated relish.
