But one particular movie stood out because of its plot. The car joins the Monte Carlo rally. As a precocious little kid, I also recall asking my parents what rallying meant? And my mother, who instilled in me the discipline of doing research at an early age told me, “Dear, why don’t you look it up at the dictionary?” That was how I found out about rallying as a sport, which has flourished to this day.

And there are more interesting facts that I have discovered about the sport of rallying. Its origin can be traced back to the 1894 Paris-Rouen Horseless Carriage Competition when people who have their own visions of what a “horseless carriage” should look like entered the contest and winners were ascertained by the judges who rode in each car.

Eventually, it turned into a period of city to city road races primarily in France and it started components associated with rallying competitions today, individual start times with carraces against the clock, time keeping at beginning and starting areas in each town along the route and driving over long distances of rough and unpaved roads.
