Rallying are long-distance races on dirt. Gravel or tarmac roads with a roadbed, held within a single country or across several countries. Aim to test both the performance and quality of the vehicle and the driver’s driving skills.
Each stage of the Rallying is usually a 3-day event, with 20–30 stages called Special Stages (SS) on a pre-determined track, with each stage ranging from a minimum of 3 kilometers to a maximum of 30 kilometers. Racers drive their cars through the stages as fast as possible to determine the race positions.
Different from venue races which are held on closed specialised circuits. The competition roads of car rallies are various kinds of ordinary roads after temporary closure. Including mountainous and hilly disc roads, sandy and gravel roads, muddy roads, ice and snow roads, etc. As well as deserts, the Gobi, grasslands and other sections which cannot be closed. The complex terrain and long race course not only test the drivers’ skills and experience, but also the cooperation of the navigator. The performance of the vehicle and the power of maintenance. Therefore, for both drivers and teams, rallying is an incredibly complex and comprehensive test.
