Title: Rally Driving: An Education
Post by: Zephyr on September 07, 2018, 09:44:16 am

It has been brought to my attention that some people are interested in rallying and want to know more about how the sport works. Here's some useful information from the Team O'Neill Rally School about the running of an event and pace notes. They have other useful information on their YouTube page, so if you want to learn more, consider subscribing.

Group B is cool, but I was introduced via Colin McRae and his famous motto of "If in doubt, flat out" that made his flamboyant driving style so revered.

I love racing, and rally is probably my 3rd favorite.  The people who get on the track irritate me so much though.  A driver could be having one of the best days and one of the best runs he has ever made.  A virtuoso performance on the track. 

Then you get a bunch of assholes running out on to the track, ruining what could have been a flat out "raise the bar" experience.
