This is a contest of precision, not a race. If you are late at one checkpoint, you can not make it up by being early at the next. The score for each leg is separate. And, just as in golf, it takes some practice to get very good scores. Regardless of whether you get very good scores, or just scores, rallying is a lot of fun if you like to spend time in your car, see some scenery and spend time with a congenial bunch of people.
Rallies usually end at a location where food and drink are available.
You can join the crowd in discussing how the event went and how you did, while you wait for the scores to be calculated and trophies awarded. Stock odometer system and any non programmable calculator with not more than one memory. Curta calculators are allowed. Mileage measuring and calculation equipment must be mechanical. Equipment limitations the same as Stock Class.
