The team with the lowest cumulative score wins.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unlike other types of racing that use a dedicated track, rally races are often held on closed public roads or routes in other terrains like mud, snow or ice.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Each rally team has a driver and a co-driver, with the latter providing a description of the route ahead and helping the driver to anticipate turns and hazards.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rally cars are designed to handle tough terrains and extreme conditions: you can find more about this in <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/mismotorsport.com\/it\/articles\/definitive-guide-to-rally-cars\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">our guide<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"divider-wrapper\"  >\n    <hr class=\"unseparator border-accent-color separator-no-padding\"  \/>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"vc_custom_heading_wrap\"><div class=\"heading-text el-text\" ><h2 class=\"h3\" ><span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What are the different types of rally racing?<\/span><\/span><\/h2><\/div><div class=\"clear\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"uncode_text_column\" ><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are several types of rally racing, each bringing its own challenges for competitors and excitement for spectators:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Road rally: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">this type often takes place on closed public roads and emphasises precision and navigation as well as outright speed. Road rally is an entry-level form where beginners can refine their skills.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Gravel rally: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">a common type of rally that takes place on unpaved gravel roads. A looser surface places greater emphasis on car control, with more advanced techniques required to compete.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Snow rally: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">snow and ice make this type of rally particularly challenging, and require specialised tyres with extra grip along with high levels of driving skill.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b><\/b><b>Mountain rally: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">this type takes place on narrow, winding roads with steep inclines and sharp corners.

Cumulative time is used to determine the winner.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Navigation: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">in track racing, a driver relies on their knowledge of the track to navigate &#8211; sometimes with support from people off-track via radio link. Rally drivers have co-drivers with them to provide descriptions of the course.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b><\/b><b>Cars: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">track race car design emphasises speed, aerodynamics, and downforce.
