Stage, or performance, rallying is one of the most exciting forms of motorsport around. Driver and co-driver teams drive especially prepared cars at breakneck speeds, sliding sideways and kicking up dirt and gravel - and snow in the winter! Rally drivers have some of the best car control skills seen anywhere. Coming out to watch at a designated spectator area with your friends and other fans is an experience not to be missed!
Want to understand more of what stage rallying is all about, and maybe have a better idea of what you'll be seeing? The Magnum Opus Rally website has lots of information to help you understand rallying. Click here to get an overview of what stage rallying is all about, and if you'd like to see what running a stage rally looks like from a competitor's point of view, visit here.
Spectator guides, showing where the spectator areas are with directions on how to get there, will be widely available around the Newberry area in the days preceding the rally and on rally day. In addition we'll get a copy of the specatator guide up on the website and available here on the forum.
Consider working as a volunteer. It takes a small army to make a stage rally run. Working as a roadside course marshal on a stage gives you a front row seat to see the cars come by at speed, and you fulfill a necessary and valuable role for the rally as well. Other volunteer jobs give you a glimpse into the inner workings of a rally, and present you with the opportunity to talk to drivers and co-drivers and see the rally cars up close. Sound interesting?
