What is a TSD Rally?TSD Rallying is very different from most people's concept of motor sports. Not to be confused with performance or stage (PRO) rallying, which is a form of racing, TSD deals with course following and speed control. Each car is given a set of written instructions and sent off at intervals on public roads. Each team tries to follow the course as well as maintain a given average speed, which was always legal. Sprinkled around the course are checkpoints where your arrival time is clocked. You're given a score based on how close you come to arriving perfectly "on time"; every second early or late is a point against you.
For a nominal entry fee and almost no risk to car, life, or limb you got to drive the most scenic roads in the area and compete on the basis of precision driving and navigation. You are a team on an adventure designed by an experienced rallymaster. You are a team competing not based on the amount of muscle in your car, but on the sharpness of your minds and driving skill. But most of all, it's fun - from the people and places to the competition and sense of discovery.
