A Rally Car

In rallying especially in Group N category, the cars used are often modified road cars based on turbocharged, four wheel drive versions of standard small cars. Most notably are always the Subaru Impreza WRX and the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution, although a wide range of vehicles is homologated by the FIA for use in Group N rallying.
Preparation

Rally car preparation is one of the most important aspects of rallying. When you decide to go into rallying you must have a direction of what you would like to do and achieve. Rallying can and does burn up a lot of money both directly and indirectly.
Internals

Inside a rally car there is no fancy upholstery or elaborate trim - just painted metal, composite panels and two carbon fibre seats, moulded to fit the driver and co-driver perfectly. There's no room in the back - the tubes of the roll cage take up the rear passenger space and the floor is pretty crowded with items like fire extinguisher, tool kit and spare wheels.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

PLEASE attend your rally events with safety in mind. The following points may help:

Always reach your chosen spectator viewing area without walking on the special stage. If you decide to leave the stage prior to the last competitor, PLEASE ensure that you walk on the pathways or behind the tree line or barrier ground. All the competitors travel at high speeds and spectators are always strongly advised NOT to walk on the rally route.
All spectators should be reminded that motorsport can be dangerous and despite its taking all reasonable precautions, unavoidable accidents can happen. In respect of these, you are present at your own risk.
We ask that you obey all instructions of safety marshals, spectator marshals and police officers in relation to your safety and that of others.
Please be aware that the weather at the time of the event can be wet and cold especially for the early morning routes. Please make sure you dress accordingly. If you are thinking of attending any exposed area of the event, it is worth wearing a cold weather proof jacket so that you can really enjoy the spectacle. Also remember to wear sturdy footwear for typical rally conditions.
Children and infants should ALWAYS be accompanied by an adequate amount of adults at all times who are responsible for their behaviour and safety

Please be considerate to other spectators to ensure everyone can enjoy the event.
Listen to the marshals - they are there to help you and ensure the event runs within the safety guidelines prescribed by the FIA and the FMU, the governing body of Uganda Motor Sport.
Marshals and officials have the right to work without being abused or threatened. Abusive, threatening or violent behaviour towards officials (who are all volunteers).
Please take all litter home with you or place it where its deemed necessary.
Do not light fires or barbeques anywhere. They can cause major fires with serious consequences.
Do not bring fireworks to the event. They are very dangerous and could cause a serious incident with either other spectators or the competitors.
Much of the Rallys take place in areas containing significant agricultural, forestry and nature conservation interests. Please follow and respect those areas at all times and do respect agricultural land (farms, gardens) owners.
Consider your own safety and that of others at all time.
