why in rally races there is a guy on a passenger seat explaining where to drive?
In: 743
The co-driver in rally uses stage notes to call out to the driver on what to do. Usually before stages they can drive the track to get their notes, but at a limited speed. They generally explain to the driver the severity of corners (I.e. 1 left would be almost essentially a square left turn, which in of itself is a call used) some other calls could include “don’t” or “don’t cut” which literally means don’t cut the corner. Stay on track. You’ll loose a wheel or worse. Or “caution” means beware of less than ideal road conditions ahead. Essentially they tell the driver what to do in advance so the driver can focus on driving as fast and mostly safely as possible.
