2025 CRS Rally School!

Get the word out! The CRS Rally School is coming March 18th!

The California Rally Series annual Rally School will again feature a hybrid format, combining online class sessions with in-person instruction.

Students will have the option of taking just the online course, or adding the in-person driving training and/or in-person co-driver training.

The driving instruction will take place on Saturday, March 22 at the Antelope Valley Fairgrounds in Lancaster, CA, in conjunction with the Rodnoc Racing rallycross the next day (Sunday).

The co-driving in-person instruction will take place in Ridgecrest, CA on Saturday, April 19.

There will be four online classes taking place on Tuesday and Thursday evenings starting on March 18 with an introduction to rally and rallycross. The Zoom seminars will begin at 7 pm Pacific Time and last for two to two and a half hours.

Each session will feature three separate presentations, with plenty of time in between for question-and-answer sessions where students can interact with our experienced instructors and panelists.

Students will also have access to recorded versions of classes after each session.

Instructors include regional and national level championship drivers and co-drivers.

Students taking the in-person driving course will need to provide their own vehicle suitable for rallycross.* Two students may share a vehicle.

Topics include:

• How to get started in stage rally and rallycross
• Basic and advanced rally driving techniques
• How to prepare a car for stage rally (including what to look for when buying a prepared rally car)
• Understanding controls and timing
• Rally navigation from tulips to stage notes
• Recce and writing your own notes
