I know...

Off topic: are there any amateur real rallys, or do you need a license for it?

Road rally - taken from www.scca-susq.com

The Rallye Committee would like to extend a special invitation to anyone who has not participated in a rallye before. No special equipment is needed. All you'd need is a pen, a friend (your navigator), and the family car. At the end of the rallye, there's usually plenty of good food and other car nuts to socialize with.

Gimmick rallies are a great way to get started. They can often involve as little effort as following driving directions and answering questions about the scenery as you go.

The goal of TSD rallies is to get from point A to point B in the correct amount of time, given specific directions and average speed information. It may sound tricky, but you can conceivably just watch your speedometer, follow the clues and come close to arriving at the right time. There are Rallye Tables available to help if you wish to do the calculations.

no idea. I only know of 1 organization that runs it, SCCA and for that you need a racing license. I think you also need to attend a rally driving school.

SCCA is actually shutting down their program if I am not mistaken.
