Rally car driving is a unique race format since it is not run on a circuit, instead rally car races are run in stages or point-to-point. As a sport, rally car driving has been around for more than 100 years. It developed in Monte Carlo in the early 1900s and has continued to have a substantial following for all these years. While rally car driving does not have the high profile in Australia that is enjoyed by V8 Supercars, it is still a popular sport with many die hard fans and loyal followers.
Regardless of whether or not you follow the actual sport of rally car racing, you will appreciate the adrenalin rush that comes from blasting through the stages and you will gain new confidence in your ability to handle just about anything as you successfully learn to execute those rally car driving tricks and maneuvers.
