Rallying
Rally is a form of motorsport that takes place on public or private roads with modified production or specially built road-legal cars. It is distinguished by running not on a circuit, but instead in a point-to-point format in which participants and their co-drivers drive between set control points (special stages), leaving at regular intervals from one or more start points. Rallies may be won by pure speed within the stages or alternatively by driving to a predetermined ideal journey time within the stages.
Catie Munnings
Munnings, whose original ambition was to become a vet, had her interests geared towards rallying from a young age by regularly visiting her father's workplace. She was able to execute a perfect handbrake turn by thirteen and provided driving lessons to her friends on a specially constructed circuit built by her father on the family farm. To qualify for an international licence which allowed her to partake in the European Rally Championship (ERC), Munnings entered six club rally events held in Wales and Norfolk. Her father acted as instructor and co-driver. Munnings received media training from Eurosport and was coached by former rally driver Urmo Aava.
