A rallye has been described as an extremely large board game: public streets are the board, and your car is your playing piece. In each car, the driver and navigator carefully follow instructions that direct them along a given course. There is a friendly competition at the finish to see which teams followed the course most accurately.
Rallyes come in various shapes and sizes, but they are all non-racing events held on open public roads.
Gimmick Rallyes
In a gimmick rallye, you solve puzzles and try to avoid being tricked. The only time constraint is a deadline to be at the finish location.
Timed Rallyes
In a timed rallye, you try to stay on time, arriving at checkpoint locations neither early nor late.
