Shortly after the second car was built, it was inevitable the first race would be run. The first organized racing competitions were run from city to city, not only to see who was faster, but which cars were the most reliable and could endure the challenges of the road. These first racing endeavors evolved into Formula racing, oval racing and rallying. Rally racing retained the cross-country racing to a far off destination those pioneers of racing endured back in the day. Rallying can be held over public roads, cross country or trails through some of the roughest terrain any vehicle can navigate. Based on the concept of racing the clock and not the other racers, cars are staged and sent on their way, navigating their path to reach checkpoints along the way and overcoming the tortures of the course. Auto World has captured the excitement of the cross-country style racers that traversed Dakar, Baja and even the jungles of South America. And we even get a new car body. Auto World has been on a roll releasing new Xtraction bodies for 2022 and this release has the third new tooling in the form of the 1975 Ford Escort Rally Racer.
