The Spectacle of Rally

What makes Rally one of the greatest motorsports in the world is the wide range of terrain on which the races are run. For a competitor to be successful in rally, he or she must not only be a jack of all trades, but a master of it all. It’s this element of the sport that makes it one of the most enjoyable to watch. For the hardcore fans willing to forgo the the convenience of grandstands and brave the elements, it only enhances the experience.

In rally, you’ll never grow weary of cars circling around for hours on end, and red flags won’t be thrown because of a plastic bag blowing around on track. Even in the harshest of conditions—dirt, gravel, sand, mud, and snow—there’s no crew drying or sweeping the track. Day or night, -30° or 100°, rally does not stop for the faint of heart. Dynamically testing conditions that would normally thwart other motorsports’ delicate cars and manicured tracks, are what rally competitors thrive in. Roads that most people wouldn't dare to venture onto with an SUV, rally cars make easy work of. 

These conditions are just a contributing factor to what makes Rally one of the most visually spectacular motorsports. No two venues are ever the same; from one year to another, the same event may change dramatically. Wherever you point the camera at a rally race, you'll capture something unique and stunning. 

Last season was no exception for SRT USA. From the bitter cold snow that covered northern Michigan, to the ribbon of tarmac atop Mt. Washington, and to the dusty roads of the Pacific Northwest, there was no lack of visually stunning scenes.
