What is a Rally car?

A rally car is a purpose-built automobile which usually starts its life as one of the high-end cars that are available to the public. Once the car to be rallied has been chosen, it is stripped of most (if not all) of its parts and interior trim pieces. The car is then reassembled leaving out any part that is not crucial to the car's function. The dashboard and seats are almost always replaced with custom or racing parts and the back seat is very rarely reinstalled. A roll cage is installed to increase the stiffness of the car's chassis and increase driver safety. Depending on the class that the car is being built for the engine is either left alone, tuned or replaced entirely. Stock suspension is replaced with aftermarket suspension providing much more wheel travel to reduce the impact of hitting deep bumps and landing jumps. Wheels are rally-specific, built to be strong and lightweight with built-in brake shields to keep rocks and debris from damaging the rotors and affecting stopping ability. Once completed, a rally car will be raced around a dirt, snow or gravel course in which corners are most often taken sideways.

What are the best rally games for ps3?

Dirt3 is probably the best Rally-style driving game out there. There is good representation of different types of rally cars and a wide variety of tracks/events to choose from.

The cars looks and graphics are really well done and the handling of the cars is phenomenal.

The only downside(in my opinion) is that they incorporate a "Gymkhana" event series(Ghymkhana is something like a dance competition for cars! LOL Basically, They compete doing in obstacle courses.)

To me, that isn't racing and shouldn't be included in the game- even though many of the Rally drivers race in the Gymkhana events.

Other than that, I loved this game! (Other racing games I liked were the 'Need For Speed' series and Grid series.)

How did Rallies start and which year?

The term "rally", as a branch of motorsport, dates from the first Monte Carlo Rally of January 1907. Until the late 1920s, few if any other events used the term. Rallying itself can be traced back to the 1894 Paris-Rouen Horseless Carriage Competition (Concours des Voitures sans Chevaux), sponsored by a Paris newspaper, Le Petit Journal, which attracted considerable public interest and entries from leading manufacturers. Prizes were awarded to the vehicles by a jury based on the reports of the observers who rode in each car; the joint winners were Panhard et Levassor and Peugeot. This event led directly to a period of city-to-city road races in France and other European countries, which introduced many of the features found in later rallies: individual start times with cars running against the clock rather than head to head; time controls at the entry and exit points of towns along the way; road books and route notes; and driving over long distances on ordinary, mainly gravel, roads, facing hazards such as dust, traffic, pedestrians and farm animals.

How do you become a rally driver?

Find a local track, with a car truck bike etc. and go for it. The track officials will check you and your car out for safety. Watch the other people, "net working" the people in the pit area.
