Things You'll Need:

- Way to get your rally kit car to the race
- Copy of the rules and regulations specified by the rally organizers
- Valid insurance policy with the amount of liability coverage specified by the rally organizers
- Valid driver's license
- Completed rally registration form/preregistration papers
- Sponsors
- Co-driver
- Knowledge of rally racing
-
Step 1
Get sponsors as soon as you can. Building a rally kit car is very expensive and unless you're made of money, you'll never make it on your own. Sponsors will pay in exchange for an advertising spot on your car; the bigger the advertisement, the more money the sponsor pays you.
-
Step 2
Find a co-driver. Rally racing is a team sport, and you will need your co-driver many times before you're done. If you're competing in one of the very short rallies, you won't need a co-driver, though one will be helpful. In the larger races, a co-driver is a must.
-
Step 3
Build your kit car. If you've already got a kit car, make sure it's road worthy, and remember all rally cars are required to be street legal. If you need to build or buy a kit car, there are many places on the Internet to buy rally kit cars already set up.
-
Step 4
Register for the rally. Do this as soon as you can; pay your entry fee, print out the rules and regulations and send in the appropriate forms. Spots in rally races go quickly so don't drag your feet or you'll be relegated to the sidelines, watching with envy as some other Joe wins fame and glory.
-
Step 5
Take your rally kit car to the race. Trailers can be rented or purchased; choose which is better for you. You can always drive your kit car, though this will add wear and tear on the car. Trailer the kit car to the race; it is a better option than driving it.
-
Step 6
Talk to a race official as soon as you get there. Make sure you have all the paperwork filled out before hand. If you haven't prepaid your entry fee, pay it now. You will also have to provide proof of license and insurance now.
-
Step 7
Go to the meet and greet. Don't miss this opportunity to speak with other racers and hear what they have to say about the track or the sport in general. Racers are a great source of information about all things to do with the rally.
