Definition of regularity stages

Regularity stages are tests where competitors must cover a stretch of road in a set time, determined based on a predetermined average speed. This is the most common type of stage used in regularity rallies because it allows for long routes without requiring high speeds.

What regularity stages involve

In regularity stages, the time to be respected is calculated based on a predetermined average speed. The competitor must therefore maintain a constant pace throughout the section, aiming to reach the finish point exactly at the scheduled time.
This type of stage is fundamental in many events because it allows for the creation of complex and scenic routes while avoiding high speeds and ensuring safety and flow during the race.

Key features

Regularity stages offer several key advantages:

They allow for the setup of even very long routes

They require a constant and steady pace

They do not involve high maximum speeds

They allow for simple time control management

For all these reasons, they are the most widespread tool in regularity rally planning.
