Rallying is a type of motorsport that is undertaken by highly modified road cars on closed asphalt, gravel or snow stages. A stage rally consists of multiple timed stages joined together with a transition, while a road rally uses less modified cars and runs on open roads, usually at night. Targa rallies are a hybrid of the two and use road rally style cars but are usually run on an off-road, gravel stage.

Notable rally drivers include (the original Stig) Stig Blomqvist, Sebastien Ogier and Sebastien Loeb as well as Juha Kankkunen and Colin McRae who have both been co-driven by Nicky Grist during his rally career.
