    With everything else on the go (the 2025 motorsport season is ramping up here in Nova Scotia) I find myself behind the curve with my promise to keep you updated on those types of route instructions you may find on rallies this year.

    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.

    I know it’s been a quiet couple of weeks on the RRDG group and on our website. I’ve had a welcome visit from some of our European family, and it has also given the rest of the RRDG a chance to review some documentation, survey some rally routes, and move forward with a few new…

    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!

    We hope you’ve been able to have a look at our website and make note of what we have to offer. Websites are always a work in progress and while ours is no different, I’ve removed the caveat that “we’re still under construction.” We’ve accomplished a few things since our last blog post. We’ve initiated…

    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…

    So, as we said before – welcome to our website. We have a lot of work to do here, but we’ll post information as we finish writing and editing it. Guidelines, rules and regs – it all takes time but we’re hoping you’ll come to view this website as a go-to resource for all things…
