RallySprints are races through the woods or on roads where the course is a mix of high speeds and technical elements. The courses are designed to give the feel of a Stage Rally without having to transit between stages or deal with those pesky time controls. They’re a great option for drivers looking to grow their skills, working on building rapport with your co-driver and prepping for upcoming Rally events. Sprints require additional safety equipment beyond what is required for Rallycross (roll cage and race suit, for example).
You and your co-driver will make pace notes to help guide you through the course and you will get multiple runs on the same stage before moving onto the next. Time penalties may be assessed for hitting course markers (cones, tires, barricades) or for going off course. Cars are grouped by drivetrain and engine size so you compete against vehicles similar to your own. The lowest cumulative time in-class for the day takes home a trophy.
