These cars are not on the lead lap and are usually far slower than the leaders

Each part of the rally, separated by fixed minimum stopping time. In practice, each day of rally is different leg

The most ideal trajectory on straights and through corners for the fastest lap time. After rain, cars will sweep "the line" dry though the rest of the track remains damp
