Rallying is a format of motorsport in which competitors race through different sections of road, one at a time against the clock. Rallying can be done on tarmac which is for softcocks, or ultra-slick smooth gravel.
Notable Rallies: New Zealand, fast gravel. Finland - massive jumps. Germany - Fast narrow roads. RAC Rally - notable because it should have been dropped. Australia - Because drivers hit kangaroos.
Best Drivers to date: Loeb, Solberg.
Best Car: Citreon Xsara, Focus WRC.
A format of motorsport that will never appeal to Americans because it doesn't market itself on collosal accidents, and is infact a true world championship....as in it visits most continents as opposed to world series baseball.
A showcase for some of the greatest drivers on earth. Used to run cars with 900HP until tragic accident ended category.
However rallies have become more homosexual with their shorter formats, which detracts from the overall hardness of the sport.
