Rallying – A motorsport which involves both a driver and a co-driver/navigator. The sport uses street cars first retro-fitted with improved equipment and safety systems, and then driven competitively around closed roads in the wilderness.

Various instruments are used to collect information on the track:

• Speedometer – An instrument common to almost all motor vehicles, the speedometer determines the instantaneous travel speed of the car, based on an intricate system of magnets and gears.

• Odometer – Also common to all vehicles, the odometer tracks the rotation of the car’s wheels to determine and display the distance traveled by the vehicle.

Co-driver, or Navigator - During a rally, the car driver is accompanied by a co-driver or navigator, who, through the use of stage notes or pace notes, is responsible for keeping the driver on course and on time.

Stage Notes/Pace Notes - Read by the navigator, a set of detailed instructions describing every turn, hill, jump, obstacle, and distance between instructions in precise, detailed code language.

Reconnaissance - A pre-running of competitive sections of the course to create the pace notes or stage notes.
