The needs of everydriver is a bit different.
If you're running with King One Oot, you need courage and Big Balls of Tempered Steel.

If you're with Kamazie you need to be able to translate his lingo and push a B13 on any terrain.

etc, etc,............. it is normal for people to think you need to be able to read a map tp co-driver, this is not entirely true, our maps and not the normal maps and the actual notes for the event seldom have map like features.

As a driver I look for a focused co-driver who knows the timing system, the rules and the ability to interpret my actions.
Interpretation of actions is basically reading body language and voice analysis.
Mini can detect when I am start to push to hard from the tone of my voice or know i am looking to make a few seconds by my driving composure, he then manages (or attempts) this by either calling the notes slower or time slightly with a "back of a bit" in between the notes or "we need to cut the next corner".

Co-driving is fun but very different when you get team specific.

Maybe Mini who is a veteran co-driver can better explain it to you.

but as Bench said... it's all about communication with the driver.. BOTH in and out of the car... some partnerships (co-driver/ driver) last years... some just one rally...

an inherent understanding of the rules, timing, etc. is helpful... but many people start and don't have a clue... you'd pick up from the other guys as you go along... and everyone is willing to assist.... even under competition conditions.

Mini, where can i get a copy of the rules and regulations wrt to this?

you can download the rules of the TTRC on the website www.rallytrinidad.com

the rulebook outlines the general format for competition. Any changes/ updates to that are given in the Additional Supplementary Regs before each event.

my advice... you want to get your foot in the door in rallying... come out and volunteer... as a course marshal, timing marshal, start marshal... etc. ask questions... get involved... you'd learn the rules much quicker than reading.

Plus you get to be up close to the action... and can easily approach the drivers/ co drivers (well even easier than say a random spectator) ... you can talk to them at the start line... see their faces at the end ... hear their reactions after a good run... etc.

a hardcore spectator like you, Wagon R, Jus4Sho, Duane, Devi etc... don't need no mask..............

dust is nothing to guys like you, even rock being thrown of the wheels is off the radar for you guys

Ras, where you come from????

Foss, Zando is a prime example of a co-driver, he has been side wined, rolled and blinded, but he went back for more every time.

But, alas, it was to much to bear the pressure of King One Oot, he migrated and has never co-driven again.

Postby **Duane 3NE 2NR** » February 24th, 2010, 5:24 pm

Who say RALLYCROSS!!!!!

The TTRC has done it again, they have set up a rally cross stage.
Two cars start together and run courses of the same length to the finish.
A la Vaucluse!
