Rallying is a motorsport where drivers navigate point-to-point courses on public or private roads, competing against the clock rather than directly against other vehicles. It matters as a competitive discipline that tests driver skill, vehicle performance, and teamwork, with the World Rally Championship representing the sport's highest professional level.

Rallying is a wide-ranging form of motorsport with various competitive motoring elements such as speed tests (sometimes called "rally racing" in United States), navigation tests, or the ability to reach waypoints or a destination at a prescribed time or average speed. Rallies may be short in the form of trials at a single venue, or several thousand miles long in an extreme endurance rally.
