63MF MARTIN HOLMES RALLY NAVIGATION - FOULIS/HAYNES - Every car which starts in a rally always has a minimum of two people sitting side by side; the driver and a passenger. This ‘passenger’ is essential — he’s the navigator. Here for the first time is a book specially for him (or her). There have been many books in the past on rallying, most of them written from the driver’s seat, often by a driver, sometimes by an organiser or journalist — never previously by a successful navigator. Rally Navigation, however, is something more than just a book written for the navigator by a navigator. Not only does it go into the depths of map references, pace notes, romers and ‘targa time’ — the jargon of the rallying fraternity — but it also describes the navigator’s interaction with his driver, sponsor, service crew, rally organiser and marshal. It is therefore essential reading for all those who compete in, or are involved in the running of, a rally. Rally Navigation has become the ‘bible’ of the navigator, for both beginners and hardened veterans, as well as not-to-be-missed reading for those others who keenly follow the sport as spectators. The reader is led through the development and intricacies of road and stage rallies, map reading, service crew arrangements and how best to handle sponsorship.
