Spec driver Edwin Hammond Meredith has been racing for about three years. As a spec driver, Edwin Hammond Meredith enjoys watching World Rally Racing.
World Rally Racing takes place on private or public roads using modified production cars or specially built vehicles. It differs from traditional forms of racing because it runs point-to-point instead of on a circuit. Winners are determined through speed between the stages or through time-speed-distance, which involves driving each segment of a course by a certain time at a certain speed. This particular type of racing got its start in the early 1970s when the Federation Internationale de l’Automobile launched the first race. Called the Rallye Monte-Carlo, the race involved 13 lengthy international events. Since that time, the race has continued to evolve making changes to adapt to current times. As automotive technology advances, the race begins to make accommodations for innovations in racing, including using hybrid cars. Other changes will allow drivers more flexibility in what they can use as a part of the race. While regulations are still in the process of being finalized, electric motors and batteries are being allowed to be used in races. These new rules might mean manufacturers will field slightly larger cars.
