1. 1962
   1973
2. 1981

The races have evolved and changed substantially since 1973.

1. 25
   35
2. 55

First place gets 25 points; second place gets 18; third place gets 15.

1. Federation Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA)
   International Conference of Sports Car Clubs (ICSCC)
2. The Off-Road Championship (TORC)

The FIA also organizes the World Rally Championship.

1. Teams use older cars.
   Famous retired drivers are invited to compete.
2. The race is run on a famous course.

Teams use older cars in this event, which is also know as classic rallying.

1. four
   six
2. eight

The four-cylinder specification applies to every car for the purpose of fairness.

1. 50 miles (80 kilometers)
   150 miles
2. 250 miles

And most of that 250 miles is traversed at breakneck speeds.

1. Saab
   Skoda Auto
2. Citroen

He drove for Saab and finished first or second in nearly every race.

1. 1.6 liters
   2.6 liters
2. 6.0 liters

The specified engine displacement is 1.6 liters. They are turbo engines, too.

1. notes on the car's servicing during race pit stops
   navigator notes regarding the course's characteristics
2. notes the driver uses to determine the car's torque during low-speed portions of the course

The navigator relays detailed messages throughout the race.

1. They are more hazardous.
   They are shorter.
2. They are longer.

They are so short that each team's time is often nearly the same.

1. power brakes
   traction control
2. seat belts

Drivers rely on their experience and instincts to maintain control.

1. car maintenance
   course reconnaissance
2. a pause just before the race begins

Detailed notes on the course are critical to the team's success.

1. 400 horsepower (298,280 watts)
   300 horsepower
2. 280 horsepower

Three hundred horsepower is a lot for lightweight cars.

1. 300
   500
2. 700

Engineers will strip a factory-made car to its frame and then rebuild it, which can take about 500 hours.

1. the time just before race's start
   the shortest stage
2. where the car is driven to the next racing stage

Between stages drivers guide their vehicles to the start of the next round

1. about three seconds
   about five seconds
2. about seven seconds

Most street cars are nowhere near fast enough to go from zero to 60 miles per hour in five seconds.

1. goal-speed-time rally
   time-speed-distance rally
2. distance-speed-torque rally

The TSD rallies are often held on public roads and don't require high speeds.

1. two
   three
2. four

There are three: the Junior World Rally Championship, the World Rally Championship 2 and the World Rally Championship 3.

1. stage rally
   road rally
2. neither

Race organizers work with police to keep traffic off of the race route in a stage rally.

1. Super 1000
   Super 2000
2. Super 3000

Rules for the World Rally Championship 2 cars are different than that of the other two racing classes.

1. 30 millimeters
   31 millimeters
2. 32 millimeters

The maximum diameter of the restrictor is 32 millimeters. Restrictors limit the maximum output of turbocharged engines.

1. 13
   18
2. 24

Drivers accumulate points at the end of each of the 13 rallies.

1. handbrake turn
   heel-and-toe
2. hill jumping

Handbrake turns send the car into a slide. Controlled slides are a critical part of rallying.

1. using your feet to drive
   the process of braking and hitting the gas at the same time
2. being a fraction of a second slower than the leader's race time

The technique involves hitting the brakes and gas at the same time. Done properly as a driver enters a turn, it allows the engine's revolutions per minute to jump and pull the car quickly onto the straightaway.

1. hill jumping
   accidentally slamming into race spectators
2. an accidental rollover after striking a course hazard

Aggressive drivers routinely send their cars airborne when they reach hills.

1. Sweden
   Finland
2. Iceland

It's now known as Rally Finland.

1. broken steering components
   vehicle rollover
2. punctured tires

The technique uses inertia to fling vehicles around curves quickly, but it's also hazardous and can cause rollover.

1. 2,000 revolutions per minute
   3,000 revolutions per minute
2. 5,000 revolutions per minute

Power is decreased but engine torque actually increases above 5,000 revolutions per minute.

1. It stops wear on the transmission.
   It helps cars corner more efficiently.
2. It stops the car more quickly.

It harnesses inertia to help drivers take corners faster.

1. hot and dusty
   swampy and humid
2. windy and rainy

The dusty rally is held on rocky mountain roads.
