The complete guide to start racing in Rallies with everything you need to know
Many people dream of participating in rallies, and with proper planning and organization, it is achievable. Here are the steps to become a rally driver and start racing in a safe and high-performance way.
Obtain the Rally Driver Sports License
The first step is to obtain an FIA Rally Driver’s license, which is compulsory to compete in rallies. Visit the offices of your Rally Federation, carry out necessary medical examinations, attend a theoretical course on safety, if required, and make the necessary payments. Once completed, you will possess a sporting license for rallies.
Have the necessary Technical Clothing
Technical clothing is of fundamental importance for the safety of every rally driver. It includes a helmet and hans, overalls, undersuit, balaclava, shoes, and gloves. All these materials must be in good condition and comply with the approvals in force.
Find a Rally Codriver
It is essential to find a co-driver who has the right experience to accompany the driver on their sporting journey and with whom they get along well.
Choose the Rally Car to start with
Choosing the right rally car to start racing with must consider the right compromise between ease of driving, performance, and safety. Based on the car chosen, it is possible to customize the technical training and preparation path. Usually a 2WD turbo Rally Car is a great option to start.
Identify the Race in which to participate
