Rally Racing

There is another type of racing that i am really interested in, and have been for a while. It is called Rally racing, which is basically a time trial on a longer distance track. You drive normally an all-wheel-drive car that is tuned up to go around sharper turns, up and down hills, and to handle low traction conditions. Even though this type of racing is based on single car time trials, it is very competative, because it is based completly on your driving ability. You compete with many other vehicles and the way you win is by getting the best time. When you are up to drive, you will have a guide person in the passenger seat that tells you what will coming up on the track and will give you a number that describes the pace at which you should be going. Rallies take place in a variety of special stages, that are mainly based on all different types of terrain. Rally racing takes place all over the world, even though it is more based in Asia and Europe. I think i would enjoy rally racing, because you wouldn't have to deal with other racers gettin in your way so anything bad that happens is all on yourself. Rallies aren't nearly as well known as drifting, pro-circuits, or drag racing, which adds a little more pride in being involved in it. I also like the fact that the car i currently own is a well known rally car when upgraded to its other model. The cars in this type of racing aren't completely based on speed they have to be able to handle any type of road conditions. The main cars that are used are either Group N or Group A cars. There is also a Targa Racing Rally, which takes place on a tarmac track and use more street based cars. Targa rally takes place on the Island of Sicily and spread throughout canada and even parts of the U.S.
