Ever since those early days, rally racing continues to be a motorsport where a driver and navigator race down closed dirt or paved roads, one car at a time, flat out as fast as they can. The drivers race only against the clock rather than each other. Ever since the beginning, rally drivers push themselves to be the fastest. They have evolved to be considered some of the best drivers in the world as they drive on pavement, gravel, mud, snow, and ice -- in all seasons and conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe term \"rally\" was first used at the 1907 Monte Carlo Rally and wasn't widely used until it became popular in the late 1920s. Throughout the years rally racing would become popular throughout Europe and eventually the world. In 1973 the World Rally Championship was created. During the 1980s the popular rear-wheel-drive (Group 2 and Group 4) cars were replaced by more powerful four-wheel-drive (Group B) cars. It is this class that the Team Associated Apex2 Sport, A550 Rally Car is modeled after.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Team Associated A550 Rally Car features a one-piece four color polycarbonate body with highly detailed decal sheet, injection-molded mirrors, windshield wipers, light pods, spoiler, headlights, and exhaust.
