Secondly u have no villagers or animals to hit on circuits , which is a major hazard and can end you tied to a tree for no fault of yours.

Circuit racing if your serious about motorsport, rallying if you want to have some fun and get very sideways, alongwith a bit of danger...my 2 cents worth

each is fun in their own way. I'd prefer Rallying cos it more thrilling

anytime circuit racing, even though you would go round nd round...... and that it is just a wee bit cheaper than rallying.....the josh is all in the aderaline push you get cos of the G-forces on this 1 level merry-go round

Hi All,

Well, i voted for circuit racing, geting into the slip stream and then overtaking is more fun than beating the clock.

Rallying any day over circuit racing. I can never seem to get that adrenaline rush watching circuit racing , but rallying sure brings in loads of interest.

Circuit Racing as it can be experienced in a controlled setup with total chaos all around you unlike in Rallying where the participants leave @ regular intervals in between start and end points.

To my understanding and to as per my limited knowledge Rallying is differentiated from racing as a point-to-point format in which different teams(driver + navigator in most cases) drive between points or stages,leaving @ regular intervals from different start points depending on the clocking times setup during each segment or stage progression.

Well ! Rijubhai, thats what i meant and care to correct me if my understanding of rallying is different and not quite right

why is Off-Road not part of this

. For me it's off-road, then comes rallying.

Circut racing for me is very similar to driving in a 'wheel of death' (maut ka kuan) that you see in a circus.

circuit Racing and Rallying require precision and loads of skills. The car is what makes the difference (IMHO).

Rallying anytime. Tests your skills in the real world - i mean not so ideal situations.
