Special stages

Special stages are specific segments of a racing event, such as rally racing, where drivers navigate through difficult, timed sections on closed roads or off-road terrain. These stages are the core competitive parts, with drivers aiming to complete them in the shortest possible time. Unlike regular open-road driving, special stages are carefully controlled and monitored to ensure safety. The overall winner is the driver with the best combined time across all these stages. They test skill, speed, and precision, making them crucial to the race's outcome.
