Rally betting is exhilarating because of the nature of the sport. Rally motorsports are all about pure speed and power. That power takes the cars from point to point rather than around a circuit and the winner gets through all the checkpoints the fastest. The European, British and World Rally Championships all offer great opportunities to place bets on exciting, fast paced and history defining races.

The World Championship is also a hugely commercial widely televised competition and has a massive fan base. The extensive TV coverage makes it incredibly fun to bet on because you can watch the drivers you love rise in the leagues and place bets whenever you fancy. The races take place at courses all over the world, so it makes for ever-fresh and enthralling viewing too.

Car fans will love betting on Rally championship races because so many major car manufacturers are involved and so many cars have impressive engines and designs. To some extent that means you're not only betting on the driver's skill but also on the skill of the manufacturer in making a fast car that handles well and beats the others to the finish line.

Usually a Rally season has 12 rallies and they are arranged on different ground surfaces. The surfaces range from ordinary tarmac, to gravel (which makes for harder turning) and even to snow and ice which also effects handling and exhibits the skill of the drivers. Points from events are added to a scoreboard and they determine the winner of a season.
