Rally Overview

Introduction

The Rally API provides schedules and post-race results for the World Rally Championship. All data is collected via Sportradar’s expert operators.

Select the Rally package in our Coverage Matrix for events and data offered.

This API uses a descending, stage-based structure. By changing the stage ID, you can retrieve information on a season, event, or race.

Additional feeds provide complementary stats, including racer profiles and race win probabilities.

🗝️
Authentication is required for all API calls.

Stage Format

The core of this API is built around the concept of stages. For example, an event may contain the following stage types: practice, qualifying, and race. Each of those stages, in turn, have stages. The IDs of each stage are usable in the Stage Summary path to request information about that particular stage.

See the below Stage Types table for all available stage types, their sub-stages, and their definitions.

The best way to start the navigation with the Rally API is the Seasons endpoint. From there, obtain the stage ID for the season required and use that in the Stage Summary as a starting point into the sub-stages.

Stage Types

Stage Type	Information Included	Sub-stages
Sport `sport` `sr:stage:167822`	Information about the seasons included. Note probabilities do not return valid data on this stage.	Rally seasons (eg: 2021,2022)
Season `season`	Contains the season schedule, driver standings and statistics.	Events on the Rally calendar for that season
Event `event`	Information about a single event, the competitors, and the circuit.	Race
Race `race`	Details of the race itself, including the competitors and overall results.	None

Data Retrieval Sample

To find the win probabilities for a given race:

Call the Seasons endpoint and find the Stage Id for the current season
Call the Stage Schedule using the 'season' Stage Id
Locate the Stage Id for the upcoming race
Call the Stage Probabilities using the 'race' Stage Id
Within the results locate the win probability for each racer
