How does the format of a rally event differ from a traditional race

[BrixtonCarey]

Sure! Here are three different ways to answer that:

[MavisChen]

"Well, in a rally event, the cars race on closed-off public roads, and drivers usually get a set of instructions or a 'road book' to follow. It's all about navigating and timing, rather than just going as fast as possible in a straight line. In a traditional race, like a circuit race, everyone starts at the same time on a track, and it’s more about who crosses the finish line first."

[RomanRusso]

"Rally events are super unique because they combine driving skills with navigation. Instead of just racing around a track, you’ve got to deal with different terrains and conditions, and you often drive alone or in pairs. Traditional races, on the other hand, are more straightforward—everyone’s racing against each other on the same course at the same time."
