To a rally driver it's an all out, day or night race on an unknown dirt road, trying by sheer concentration to blend a high-strung, production based race car and the road into an unbeatable stage time.
To a co-driver it's the thrill of the world's greatest amusement park ride, combined with the challenge of performing with great mental accuracy under the most physically demanding conditions.
For the spectator it's a view of the most exciting and demanding of motor sports. Around the world, rallying is wildly popular, attracting huge crowds that line the roads at every event in the FIA World Rally Championship.
In a performance rally, each team consists of a driver and co-driver (navigator). The cars start at one or two-minute intervals and race at top speed against the clock over competition stages. Connecting the stages are "transits" ”on public roads where cars must obey the posted speed limits. The teams achieving the fastest combined times on the competition stages win. Drivers stay on existing roads, and never blaze their own trails. Stages can combine into some 100 miles in a two-day rally. An exciting new addition at many rallies are street legal motorcycles, running separately from the rally cars, also at one or two-minute intervals.
Great news for those who want to participate are rallycross events, basically autocrosses on unpaved surfaces. Entry requirements and entry fees are minimal, making them an excellent place to get started in rallying.
RallyCar (formerly Rally America) and the National Auto Sport Association (NASA) sanction and insure the majority of performance rallies in the United States. The California Rally Series (CRS) has regional championships in various classes and includes events organized by both of these bodies.
"Stage rally" requirements for cars and trucks are a co-driver and fully prepared vehicle (rollcage, safety harnesses, etc.). Teams use a “routebook” with mileages to follow the course and usually use turn-by-turn stage or pace notes as well. They range from simple "coefficient 1" local events of less than 30 stage miles, to longer "coefficient 2" rallies with 30 miles to under 65 miles, to "coefficient 3" events with at least 65 miles of stage road. Larger rallies such as those in one of the national championships usually include 100-150 miles of stages over two days.
"Rallysprints" are coefficient 1 events that only require a driver and are often held on closed stadium courses. "Rallycross" events also require only a driver and these autocrosses-on-dirt give the other members of a rally team a chance to compete in the team car! In fact, rallycross competition allows almost any vehicle - license, insurance, and rollcage are not required!
At the national level there are events located across the country, from snowy Michigan terrain to Southwest desert foothills, and on forest roads from Maine to Washington State. The RallyCar (formerly Rally America) Championship series encompasses six events. NASA sanctions the United States Rally Championship (USRC) which is comprised of six events in two Divisions, Atlantic and Pacific.
At the regional level, RallyCar supports championships in four regions across the country (locally the Southwest Rally Cup). The top three teams, in each class, in each region will be invited to the Regional Cup Championship Event.
The Sports Car Club of America (SCCA) has both national and divisional level rallycrosses culminating in an annual RallyCross National Championship event.
The California Rally Series, formed in 1975, has four types of regional championships based on events in or near California. The “CRS Rally Championship” consists of pure stage rally events, for fully prepared cars. The “CRS Rallysprint Championship” (held in years where there are enough rallysprints) consists of rallysprint events, also for fully prepared cars. The “CRS Rallycross Championships” include rallycross events only, for both prepared and street vehicles. Many rallies now include competition for street legal motorcycles with points earned toward the "CRS Moto Championship."
For stage rallies and most rallysprints, vehicles (including motorcycles) must be street-licensed, and meet certain minimum liability insurance limits. A wide variety of cars and trucks compete, although sports sedans tend to dominate.
RallyCar (RC) recognizes eight classes. In the three “production” classes, vehicles conform very closely to stock specifications. Production Class cars are typically two-wheel drive. Production GT and Super Production cars are usually turbocharged and four-wheel drive, but the latter class allows certain modifications. In contrast, the four “open” classes allow extensive modifications. There are two open classes for two-wheel drive: Group 2, for smaller engines (normally aspirated), and Group 5, for bigger engines up to 5100 cc adjusted displacement. The fastest class is Open Class, where turbocharged four-wheel drive cars predominate (5100 cc limit). Open Light is a regional class for normally aspirated four-wheel drive cars. The Historic class is for vintage rally cars.
The USRC recognizes four classes. The USRC Open All Wheel Drive (AWD) class corresponds to RC Open, Open Light, and Super Production classes. The USRC Open Two Wheel Drive (2WD) contains both RC Group 2 and Group 5 vehicles. USRC Production AWD includes RC Production GT and USRC Production 2WD matches RC Production Class.
California Rally Series classes overlap with the classes above since CRS points are earned at events sanctioned by both RallyCar and NASA. However, there are some important differences, especially in the "stock" classes. The three open classes in CRS (CRS-2, CRS-5, and Open 4WD) have few limitations and are similar to the open classes in RallyCar and NASA rules.
CRS also has two "stock" classes which restrict vehicle preparation thereby limiting the cost of vehicle preparation. Both Stock Classes are self-policing and self-governing. Performance Stock Class requires cars to be two-wheel drive, with normally aspirated four cylinder engines and a maximum value of $4000. CRS GT Class is for four-wheel drive, usually forced-induction vehicles prepared with the same restrictions as Performance Stock class cars except for two important differences. First, there is no price limit for the basic vehicle, and second, there is a requirement for a 32 mm inlet restrictor for all turbo or supercharged cars.
In the CRS Rallycross Championship, four Modified car classes (4WD and 2WD, with and without rally tires) are recognized . In addition there are two unique street car classes, for cars without performance modifications that, in addition, are not running rally, snow, or light truck tires. These classes are Street Stock 4WD and Street Stock 2WD. Some Rallycross events also add "custom" classes based on the local entry.
The CRS Moto Championship is for street licensed dual-sport and large adventure bikes. There are two classes: Moto U8 (under 800 cc), and Moto O8 (over 800 cc).
Racing is expensive - there's no getting around it! Given that fact, it is still possible to get more seat time for your dollar behind the wheel of a rally car than in most other forms of motorsport. It's real racing, but in a car you could actually drive to work (and some people do!). You can get in a lot of "sideways time" just taking an afternoon off to go testing or practicing - something you certainly can't do in a regular "race car" (just be sure to block the practice road from civilian traffic!). And you may find that having two people on a team means two people are splitting the costs, which can be a big help. So what are the expenses?
The best way to go rallying cheaply and immediately is to buy someone else's rally car! You will pay 50 cents on the dollar for all of the modifications and you will have a ready vehicle, logbook and all, at the next event. You should seriously consider this option before deciding to go to the trouble and expense of building a car - even if it's just for your first year or two while you "learn the ropes."
To prepare a basic rally car or truck yourself for rallies and rallysprints, you can expect to spend a certain amount on vehicle preparation and additional money on purchasing equipment for both the car and its occupants. Basic safety equipment for the car includes a roll cage (typically $800 to $1500 - these come prefabricated for bolting or welding in, or can be fully custom-built). Some reinforcing of suspension parts is a good idea, for a tough suspension is essential. Expect to spend $200 to $800 for springs, and $400 to $1500 (or more) for shocks. The car will need two or more fire extinguishers (around $50 unless you opt for a full fire system), and racing seats (begin at $150 each). Racing harnesses, five to seven point, start at $70 per person and must be replaced or rewebbed every five years to meet safety requirements. A hundredths-reading odometer can often be bought used for $200 or less; new models usually run $250 - $500. A top-end navigator light costs around $40 although cheaper substitutes can be found. Driving lights are another item you may be able to find used. New driving lights start at around $100 each and may require special wiring or prefabricated harnesses ($40-$80 for two lights, typically).
Two other items generally considered indispensable are a skid plate or plates, which may be fabricated for $80 to $150, and rally tires, which generally cost at least $130 each. You may need to upgrade wheels if you are bending or breaking them. There are a variety of small items that need to be added to your car as well (tool box, battery box, tire tie-down method, D.O.T. triangles, etc) - but these can cost a little or a lot depending on your ingenuity and "connections" with other rallyists!
These are the basic items to build a beginner car; you then may choose to add performance modifications such as computer chips or other engine upgrades, a limited slip differential, brake bias control, etc depending on what is allowed in your class.
Sometimes you can find used equipment for driver and co-driver as well - or borrow these items until you can afford them. Helmets have certain certification requirements shown by their label and start at about $180. Driving suits start at $90 and run the gamut from a plain color to completely custom designed, and from treated cotton single-layer suits requiring fire-retardant underwear, to double or triple layer in various materials. Again, certification labels show the capabilities of these suits in protecting you from fire. You may choose to add driving gloves and shoes and other personal equipment, although they are not required. Head and neck restraints such as HANS devices are required and start at about $700. It is important to check the current certification requirements for the sanctioning bodies.
Entry fees generally run from $30 to $50 for rallycross events. Coefficient 1 rallies and rallysprints may cost $200 to $400. Coefficient 2 and 3 rally entry fees range from $275 to $600. NASA events require an annual membership ($45) and a rally license ($50). RallyCar events do not require an annual membership, but do require a Rally License ($150 for Regional or $250 for National). CRS membership ($30) is not required at events unless you wish to earn CRS championship points.
Other expenses you must anticipate include racing gas for higher performance engines, and possibly a bit higher insurance fees to meet liability minimums for both the rally car and designated service vehicle. Most rallyists choose to buy or borrow a trailer to tow their car to events. Motels and food are part of a rally weekend's expenses, and can vary widely according to your budget and tastes.
After adding up these expenses, can you expect to cover them by winning money or getting sponsors?
The simple answer is: NO! Very few rallies have any money left in their budgets for prize funds, as they try to keep entry fees as low as possible. You can expect a trophy to the top third of the starters of any CRS rally in each class, however. In addition, the year-end Awards Banquet presents up to five of the top finishers in each class with top-quality photo award plaques for the Rally, Moto and Rallycross Championships. The Rallysprint winners are also honored if that championship takes place in a given year. There are several other year-end awards given, including Rookie of the Year, Outstanding Worker, and Rallycross Supporter.
Sponsors are difficult to obtain, but not impossible. The best chance for sponsorship is in your own community. You may find businesses that are willing to give you services, such as tire changing and balancing, in trade for placing their name on the side of your car. While many rallyists manage to find a bit more sponsorship, even some cash, it is important not to enter the sport with this expectation (alas, this isn't Britain or Europe in that respect!). Better to plan your rally season within your budget and run what you can afford. Any prize money or sponsor help will get you to more events or allow you to move up to the next level.
Rallycross is the easiest way to get involved as a driver. Many people are happy to make a rallycross championship their ultimate goal as it fits their time and budget better than full-scale rallying.
Often prospective rallyists get into the sport by volunteering to help at a rally as a control worker. The advantage of this is that you gain an understanding of the timing system, get to know the organizers and competitors, and may find a rally car or bike for sale sooner. You will also begin to appreciate what works and what doesn’t in car and bike preparation, and may even learn from others’ mistakes in driving/riding and co-driving!
Watch for the rally schools held once or twice a year. They cover all aspects of the sport. Most even give you hands-on driving or co-driving experience and help you move out of the novice category. Plus, they're a lot of fun!
A beginning point for many drivers, surprising as it may seem, is co-driving. Although it's not easy, it is worth learning at a rally school or by running with an experienced driver who gives you pointers. Especially if you run with a fast driver, you will be far better prepared when it's your turn to drive. Rally driving techniques are unlike those in other motorsports. Co-driving is also a cheaper way to get into competition!
Of course, nearly half the competitors in the sport are co-drivers by choice! They enjoy the challenges of "the hot seat" and the fact that they can rally much more frequently than driver/car-owners. A good co-driver will be sought after and can move up to national-level competition more easily than a driver.
Before you tackle working, driving/riding, or co-driving, you may also choose to volunteer to help on a team's service crew. This is an excellent way to get to various events and learn about the sport.
It is important to develop friends and mentors in rallying. The great news is: rallyists are extraordinarily helpful to each other and especially to newcomers. They are truly "impassioned enthusiasts" eager to share the excitement and rewards of their sport, and you will have no trouble getting information whenever you need it. Check the list of CRS organizers on the calendar and the CRS officers in the back of this rulebook for a starting point. Also plan on contacting the Chief Tech Inspector (for car prep advice) and your local rally steward. You will also find a lot of helpful information on the web - most events now have their own website or you can go to one of the excellent general rally websites. These include:
So make your plans and join the fun! Good luck in your rally career!
All cars and motorycles on rally events are required to be street legal and licensed for use on the street. Most CRS rallies are sanctioned by NASA or RallyCar. For these rallies all cars must have a vehicle Log Book. Other sanctioning bodies may not require log books or all of the items listed below. Check with the appropriate sanctioning body for events you intend to run. The list below is intended as an example of some of the car and truck requirements for NASA and RallyCar events. Complete details can be obtained from the sanctioning body's website.
CRS Moto requirements can be found on the NASA Rally Sport website under Regulations (http://www.nasarallysport.com/rules.php).
The California Rally Series (CRS) is an "association" as opposed to a "profit" based organization, formed by the event organizers and the officers of the series. The CRS has three major goals:
The role of supporting event organizers includes loaning organizers funds to pay up front expenses, as well as providing clocks, sign boards, radios and other equipment for organizers to use.
The role of providing meaningful championships has focused on the CRS Rally, Rallysprint, Moto and Rallycross Championships. In addition this role has resulted in the formation of popular competitor-driven rally classes like Performance Stock and CRS GT. The role of promoting the sport has resulted in the addition of "how to get involved" materials in the front of the rule book as well as on the CRS website.
CRS has also been active in promoting rallying at various car shows and other events, in recognizing volunteers, and in supporting rally schools.
The CRS is governed by a Board of Governors (BOG) which consists of the organizer from each CRS event (Rallies, Rallysprints and Rallycrosses). Membership on the BOG will begin once the event has been accepted onto the CRS calendar and continue for the remainder of the year the event occurs in, plus the following year. In addition to the organizers there will be a number of other members including: the Director, Equipment Managers, Secretary/Treasurer, Membership Officers, Competitor Liaison, CRS Moto Liaison, Rallycross Liaison, Press Liaison, Sponsor Liaison, Webmaster and the Stock Class Chairman. The responsibilities of the officers are detailed in Appendix L of these rules on the CRS website.
The BOG shall make decisions on Calendar approval, amendments to these rules, amounts of fees, and any other items deemed appropriate by the Director. The BOG shall also be responsible for appointing people to fill the jobs of Equipment Manager, Secretary, Press Liaison, Rally Membership Officer, Treasurer, CRS Moto Liaison, Rallycross Liaison, Rallycross Membership Officer, Rallycross Pointskeeper & Equipment Manager, Webmaster and Sponsor Liaison. The BOG will also serve as an informal forum for the organizers to discuss items related to the organization of rallies. For the details of BOG operation see Appendix L of these rules.
There will not be any additions to the CRS Rally calendar after Jan 1. Any changes to the schedule published in this book must be approved by the CRS BOG.
As a minimum, CRS Rally events will award trophies/awards to the top 1/3 of the starters (see table below) in each CRS class (to finishers only), whether the competitors are CRS members or not. Trophies will be for both drivers and co-drivers. For multiple event weekends the events may be combined into a single trophy for the weekend.
Starters | Minimum Trophies |
1 - 4 | 1 |
5 - 7 | 2 |
8 - 10 | 3 |
11 - 13 | 4 |

Rallysprints are held on short, closed courses where co-drivers may or may not be required. Either Rallysprints or Coefficient 1 Rallies can be included in the Rallysprint Championship. Any year that there are four or more qualified events on the calendar at the beginning of the year, there will be a CRS Rallysprint Championship for drivers. The organizers of Rallysprint events on the CRS calendar will have the choice of placing their event in either the Rally or the Rallysprint Championship, but not both. Competitors must be CRS members prior to the event to accrue CRS Rallysprint Championship points. The Rallysprint Championship will use the systems for awarding points, dropping events and resolving ties described in Common Championship Info. The Rallysprint Championship is for drivers only. No Co-Driver points will be awarded even if Co-Drivers are required by the event. Each Rallysprint event will have 200 organizer points available to split among the organizers (who did not compete in the event), with no person receiving more than 100 points. Organizer points will only be valid after a person has received points as a competitor. Rallysprints will award CRS points for drivers only in the same classes as the Rally Championship. While organizers may allow competitors to enter in more than one class, only one class will be scored for CRS Rallysprint Championship points at an event (to be declared before the event).
Rallycross events are those events which do not have route instructions, do not require a co-driver, and do not require a roll cage. Any year that there are four or more rallycross events on the calendar at the beginning of the year, there will be a CRS Rallycross Championship for that year. In years where there are enough events at the beginning of the year in both the North and South Regions, CRS will have both a North and a South Rallycross Championship with separate year-end trophies for each. For this to apply there will need to be a minimum of two venues and four events in each region. Those events north of Visalia will be in the North Region; all others will be in the South Region. CRS members can receive points in either or both regions.
The rallycross organizers will be limited to a maximum of three events per venue that will be included in the championship. The Rallycross Liaison will be the single point of contact for establishing and revising the championship calendar, which will be maintained on the CRS website.
An initial calendar for the Rallycross Championship will be published in this rulebook. The following rules apply to changes:
Total Possible Events | Count Best | Total Possible Events | Count Best |
---|---|---|---|
1 | 1 | 8 or 9 | 6 |
2 or 3 | 2 | 10 | 7 |
4 or 5 | 3 | 11 | 8 |
6 | 4 | 12 or 13 | 9 |
7 | 5 | 14 | 10 |
Any Rally event that includes RallyMoto and is a part of the CRS Rally Championship, is eligible for inclusion in the CRS Moto Championship. Any year that there are four or more qualified Moto events on the calendar at the beginning of the year, there will be a CRS Moto Championship. Riders must be CRS members prior to the event to accrue CRS Moto Championship points. The CRS Moto Championship will use the systems for awarding points, weighting, dropping events and resolving ties described in Common Championship Info. CRS Moto event organizers will have 200 organizer points available for the CRS Moto Championship, to split among the organizers (who did not compete in the event). No CRS Moto organizer shall receive more than 100 points (prior to weighting). Organizer points will only be valid after a person has received points as a competitor. CRS Moto events will award CRS points in two championship classes ("Moto U8" and "Moto O8").
The following paragraphs relate to more than one of the preceding championships.
CRS Rally Speed Factors:
CRS Moto Speed Factors:
Adjustments:
The organizers of the event will have 400 points to distribute amongst themselves, with no organizer getting more than 100 points (prior to weighting). No competitor can receive more than a total of 500 organizer's points in a given year. Organizer points will be assigned at the time the CRS standings are first tabulated for that event. Organizers that are not eligible for year end awards (because they have not competed in that class), will be identified in the standings.

In the event of a tie at an event, all competitors tied for a position will be given the points for the tied position. The next placing competitor will be awarded points appropriate for the number of places below the tie. Example: A three way tie for second will give all the tied teams 2nd place points (88), and the next placing team will get 5th place points (58).
In the event of a tie for a year-end ranking the tie will be broken by comparing the total points accumulated in triple points events at which both competitors started in the class in question. All events started will be counted (no events will be dropped). If this does not resolve the tie the same method will be applied to the double points events. If a tie still exists the same method will be applied to the single points events. If the above method fails, the tie will remain.
There will be year-end awards (eg., trophies) for the top competitors in each of the classes. Rallycross competitors must start a minimum of two events to be eligible for a year end award. For all Championships, trophies will be awarded as follows:
Number of Trophies | Number of Competitors |
---|---|
5 | 15 or more |
4 | 10-14 |
3 | 6-9 |
2 | 4-5 |

Open class cars are divided into three classes. Vehicles that are built to be capable of operating in four-wheel drive mode will be placed in Open 4wd class and cannot compete in CRS-2 or CRS-5. Two-wheel drive cars that were NOT designed to operate in four-wheel drive will be placed in either CRS-2 or CRS-5 and can not compete in Open 4wd. The table of adjustment multipliers below will be used to determine a vehicle’s adjusted displacement. All factors that apply to a given vehicle will be used. For example, a front wheel drive car with a 2.0L, 4-valve engine with variable cam timing would have a total multiplier of 1.32 (based on 1.2 * 1.1), producing an adjusted displacement of 2640cc.. Eligible vehicles with an adjusted displacement of no greater than 2650 cc will be placed in CRS-2 while those above 2650 cc will be placed in CRS-5.
Characteristic | Multiplier |
---|---|
Rotary engines | 1.8 |
Forced induction | 1.6 |
4 valves per cylinder | 1.2 |
3 valves per cylinder | 1.1 |
Variable cam timing | 1.1 |
Rear wheel drive | 0.9 |

The CRS is governed by a Board of Governors (BOG) which consists of the organizer from each CRS event (Rallies, Rallysprints and Rallycrosses). Membership on the BOG will begin once the event has been accepted onto the CRS calendar and continue for the remainder of the year the event occurs in, plus the following year. In addition to the organizers there will be a number of other members including: the Director, Equipment Managers, Secretary/Treasurer, Membership Officers, Competitor Liaison, CRS Moto Liaison, Rallycross Liaison, Press Liaison, Sponsor Liaison, Webmaster and the Stock Class Chairman. The responsibilities of the officers are detailed as follows:
The Rallycross Liaison will be the competitor contact for those seeking information on the CRS Rallycross Championship. The Rallycross Liaison will be responsible for:
The BOG shall make decisions on Calendar approval, amendments to these rules, amounts of fees, and any other items deemed appropriate by the Director. The BOG shall also be responsible for appointing people to fill the jobs of Equipment Manager, Secretary, Press Liaison, Rally Membership Officer, Treasurer, CRS Moto Liaison, Rallycross Liaison, Rallycross Membership Officer, Rallycross Pointskeeper & Equipment Manager, Webmaster and Sponsor Liaison. The BOG Yahoo Group will also serve as an informal forum for the organizers to discuss items related to the organization of rallies. For voting purposes each Rally event shall have the same number of votes as the event’s weighting factor (1, 2 or 3), with a limit of 3 BOG votes per competitive weekend. Rallysprint organizers will have one vote for each event organized. Rallycross organizers will have one vote for each CRS points event organized. Any officers that are not organizers will have one BOG vote. Each event will have a single point of contact for the purposes of BOG email polls. The single point of contact for each event will designate who from his event shall be on the BOG mailing list and who will have voting privileges at meetings. If an event is dropped from the calendar, for whatever reason, that event's organizer will lose his BOG Voting privileges for that event at that point. A quorum of at least 50% of the possible votes must be present to make any decisions on rules.
The preliminary Agenda for the year end BOG meeting shall be distributed to the BOG members at least 6 weeks prior to the meeting.
To establish a proxy for the yearly BOG meeting, the organizer or officer will be required to notify either the director or the secretary prior to the meeting. Any one individual will be limited to holding only one other BOG member's proxy.
While all BOG members are welcome to participate in the discussion of any issue, for voting purposes the BOG will partition issues into four categories: "Rally Only", "CRS Moto Only", "Rallycross Only" and "Common". The Rally Only, CRS Moto Only and Rallycross Only categories will be for those issues that only relate to that specific championship (e.g., CRS-2 rules would only relate to Rally). Issues that have crossover interest (such as budget and membership items) will be handled as "Common". The table below details which members of the BOG will vote on which issues.
