Feb. 20-21 Rally School

Jumpstart your 2026 rally season with Rally School. Learn about road rally rules, procedures and protocols. Find out how to interpret route instructions. Pick up tips for success.

Rally School is two-part. The first part is virtual rally school on Friday, Feb. 20, starting at 7 p.m. The second part is the road rally Saturday, Feb. 21, starting at 10 a.m.

The Rally School rally on Saturday is about 100 miles long and takes about three and a half hours to complete, including a mid-rally break. 

This is a lightly trapped rally, meaning it includes some simple rally challenges. If you pay attention during the virtual rally school, you will ace these challenges.

The Friday evening virtual meeting and the practice rally on Saturday are designed to teach you how to play the game of road rally. If you are a rally veteran, Rally School is a great way to tune up rusty rally skills.
