What is he doing?!
In rally racing, what is the guy sitting next to the driver saying/doing, and what do they call him? IM really starting to get into it and I can't figure that guy out.
ps Markko Martin rocks. |

he's the navigator (not sure if thats the actual name)
he reads the map/course to the driver like where turns are, how strong they are, where water/ice are, hills (inclines and drops), etc |

It depends, I have heard them called co-drivers.
It's pretty interesting because in some cases, only one person from each team gets to drive the coarse before the actual timed run. I know for Allister McRae, his father is the one. He takes notes on the turns, road hazards, track conditions, etc and it's the co-driver that has to make sure Allister makes the right turns. -Ducky

i like watching the co-drivers(or whatever its called)faces right before they go off the road. they always looked scared shitless, you'd think they'd get used to it.

In WRC, they are referred to as Co-Drivers. And since CivicKid referred to Markko Martin, he is talking about WRC. So, I'm right and you're wrong  -Ducky

Well I don't know anything about this, but unless he TOUCHES the controls he would technically be the navigator. But they call if whatever they call it be it inaccurate or not. |
