Rallye Retrospective
Since most people who are reading this actually went on the Rallye and have the sheet showing the traps and mileages, I thought we'd use this space to point out some common Rallye traps and how to guard against them.

  1. Bring a bright color hi-lighter pen on Rallyes along with your pencils, pens and clipboards.
  2. When you get your Rallye instructions read through it and hi-light the following:
    bulletAll uses of the words "onto" or "PU" and make sure you are familiar with the definitions and explanations in the General Instructions GI's
    bulletMake sure you read about road surfaces in Course in the Generals
    bulletIf pictures are used in the Rallye make sure you notice the background, not just the main subject. e.g. a "STOP" sign but the background might show a railing or a utlity pole or a picture of a street sign where the
  3. Remember, if you are not ONTO or FWLing, you should go straight as possible regardless of the yellow lines or main road.
  4. Take a look at the Rallye tips.

Thank you all for your support and we'll try to keep bringing you the best in non-TSD Rallyes.
