Event requirements

Below is a FAQ that should answer many of our questions.  https://blog.gorally.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/The-FIRM-MoDD-RallySprint-FAQs-11.1.19-1.pdf

What is RallySprint?

RallySprint is a one day an event where competitors run the same stages multiple times. Courses are generally 1-3 miles in length and are run at higher speeds than a Rallycross but lower than your typical stage rally. This reduces the risk of damage to your car and your body! Sprints are one-day events, so there is no need to put your crew up for multiple nights. Just show up, race and go home.

What safety equipment do I need?

We ask that you read the full RallySprint Rules so you are well informed and have no race-day surprises but here is a quick summary of what you need.

Personal Safety Equipment:

• Fire suit with two layers of fire protection
• Helmet with SA 2010 rating or newer
• HANS device

Vehicle Safety Equipment

• Car must have approved log book (SCCA, NASA, Rally
America, ARA, CARS)
• Roll cage with proper padding
• Fire extinguisher
• Race seats
• Harnesses within date

Do I need a co-driver?

Yes, your co-driver will be responsible for aiding with navigation, just like Stage Rally. Sprints are a low-stress environment to build a relationship between driver and co-driver. They also provide a great opportunity to practice and troubleshoot race day operations for an upcoming Stage Rally.

Will pace notes be provided?

No, we do not give pace notes. Instead, you will be given a course map and a reconnaissance (recce) lap to create your own pace notes. The recce lap is driven at under 30 mph with no stopping permitted.

What can I expect on race day?

• Show up at least an hour before the driver meeting.
• Sign a waiver.
• Paddock and set up your area for the day.
• Prepare your car for competition (remove loose items, change wheels/tires as needed, etc).
• Take your car and personal safety equipment (for both driver and co-driver) through technical inspection/scrutineering.
• Check in at registration.
• Attend the driver meeting.
• Race!

What class should I register for?

Classes are set up based on drive train and engine size. If your car is turbo or supercharged, there is a 1.4x multiplier for engine displacement which may bump you into a higher class.
