Stage rallies are competitive motorsport events where drivers navigate a series of timed segments, known as stages, on closed public or private roads. Each stage is raced individually, and the total time taken across all stages determines the winner. Participants often use specially modified vehicles designed for high performance and handling. During a stage rally, teams consist of a driver and a co-driver, who provides navigation instructions using a detailed road book. The co-driver's role is crucial, as they help the driver anticipate turns and obstacles. Popular examples of stage rallies include the WRC (World Rally Championship) and local events held worldwide.
