RALLYMAN HOW TO PLAY: Complete Guide to the Basic Rules

Description provided by Matt Elliott on YouTube:

If you want an in depth look at the basic rules to modern Rallyman, look no further. The great thing about this game is that once you've got these basic rules down, you can take them into any Rallyman event you like the look of. The not so great thing about this game is that the rulebooks have not always been understood by players, so it's finally time I got something put together to address that, in the form of this visual guide to the basic rules. Why only the basic rules? It's an hour long, there's no room for them in here!
