I don’t begrudge our circuit racing brothers and sisters (a number of whom either compete in road rally or are significantly involved in it) a…

    We hope you enjoyed the Bluenose Rally on May 24. I know things went well at CP 8 and it was great to hear the stories of rally mayhem over a wonderful curling club dinner at the finish. The rallying community is full of top-notch people and spending post-rally time with them over sustenance and…

    Three of the four remaining rallies on the 2025 road rally calendar will be using Richta GPS timing and scoring. I’ve gone over the basics of this system any number of times so I’ll spend no further time on the generalities. You may, however, run into certain variations of checkpoints and procedures which we’re not…

    We’re two weeks on from the Midwinter Moon and I hope you’ve had a chance to review your notes and old route instructions in preparation for the New Scotland Road Rally. We’re 82 days away!

    Clarence Westberg of the Twin Cities Rally Club in Minnesota brought this rally to my attention. It’s a 350 km winter rally through the wilds of the Outaouais district of Quebec (think of the area north of the Ottawa River west to roughly Fort Coulonge and north to La Vérendrye Wildlife Reserve and including Gatineau…

    We’ve added a new page to the site. Test Rallies will provide information on the short and easy rallies we’ve developed to help new or novice crews gain experience with road rally and to see how the Richta Rally system Competitor app works. These are short, comfortably-paced rallies with no traps, no obscure instructions, and…
