Navigational rally is a great way to see some of Ontario’s landscape with organizers selecting driving routes that can take you through the Niagara Escarpment, Caledon, Port Perry and other picturesque parts of Ontario. Roads can be paved, gravel or no winter maintenance (winter) that can be challenging and fun. In navigational rallies, the laws of the road will apply. Competitors will share the road with non-rally traffic.
