I think this entire thing is quite crazy. You will never see any type of other motorsports where the racecars themselves are driving to the event rather than being towed by huge commerical trucks. Then again, most racecars don't have indicators and actually do fit standard car regulations. And its much cheaper doing it this way anyway, and much cooler.

This is the part of rallying that many don't see. Sure, it's exciting and fun on the special stages, but fully a half of a rally is spent driving between stages, to and from the service park, and the like. They are also timed on these parts of the rally, and if they arrive too early or too late, they can incur some pretty gnarly penalties. The organizers will drive between the stages a month or so before and time it, and then give the drivers in the rally cars, who must obey all traffic laws, speed limits, et al, something like +/- 5 minutes of that baseline time to get between places. Arrive at 6 minutes after time? -10 seconds on your entire rally time, etc. That's why the co-driver is named that instead of "navigator" or some such, as a co-driver is allowed to drive the car between stages to give the regular driver a rest, as well as the co-driver is in control of the all important time sheet. That little slip of paper they hand out the window at the end of stage to get their time recorded and signed off on is literally God in a rally. You lose that, you are disqualified. No ifs, ands, or buts

When WRC was still in Wales a few years back, I had the most incredible experience on my local B-Roads, with the Hyundai factory team coming barrelling up behind me, as I drove my (V8) Audi S4 to town to watch them go to the service area. I went as fast as I could on the bends for him, which was fairly easy of course in my road car, just trying to get to a straight as quickly as possible so he could pass me. I put my window down on the approaching bend, and signalled to him to pass as the road straightened up... the NOISE WAS INSANE as it backfired through my open window on gearchange. It was just incredible and I was buzzing all day.

These guys routinely take some of the biggest risks in motorsport, driving right to the limit on sketchy, tight, winding roads, driving very powerful, nimble cars. Despite all that, most of these clips also show them giving a very respectful following distance to the cars in front. That's because they're good drivers who understand that no matter how good you are, you can't cheat physics, and if you're tailgating you're just asking for an accident.

This has to be the ultimate flex!

I can tell you it happens a lot. Memorably I can remember we drove Mikkola’s s1 up the M1 from our base in Daventry for the Scottish rally, that was probably the furthest although it wasn’t unusual to put miles on a rally car from Daventry. More often than not it was because of lack of time for testing/ shake down after a rebuild.

This is one of the aspects of rally that I really love. The pilots need to drive on normal public roads between stages and to the service areas. When they finish one stage they immediatly move to the next stage, and they have a schedule and need to be on the starting line on time, but... They are also obliged to respect the Traffic rules and legal speed limits, also, the organization of the event knows the medium average of the time it takes the public roads between stages, so if the driver makes it too fast he will be at risk of immediatly being kicked out of the competition. And minor disrespects for the public roads, if observed by any official, can imply a harsh time penalization. In simple words: Any disrespect for the public roads can imply a much bigger time penalty than a mistake on the race stages.
