- [Alison Laroza] The most unique part of rally car racing

is, if a regular person were to hear the in-car audio

it would seem like they were speaking gibberish.

In actuality it's a language that tells that driver

They really are just the eyes for the driver

Rally car racing in America is stage racing.

You can have anywhere from 12 to 14 stages,

anywhere from six to 20 miles in some cases.

So inside of a rally car, we have two people.

tries to keep it on the road, without wrecking it.

And the co-driver is responsible for reading the notes.

- [Alison] 50 turn a left three tighten right three minus,

so that means before the next note I call

which means you'll change roads from the road

Left obviously means your corner's gonna go to the left.

- [Steve] There's so much information to take

in from the co-driver, in say 120 miles over a weekend,

it could be as many as two to three thousand

different commands that co-driver is reading the driver.

Pretty much that co-driver is the computer of that car.

He or she is gonna get you from point A to point B.

And as a driver, you need to trust what that

- [Alison] We started as a team when I was 15,

and sometimes I feel like I can simply read his mind.

- [Steve] I really trust what she is telling me,

to the point where if I had to close my eyes

- [Alison] Into left three, into right four.

Right four long up, tightens at T to a right two,

50 turn left three tightens into a right three minus...

If I looked at her as a co-driver and not a daughter

or a relative, I'd grab her in a heartbeat.

- [Alison] I'd love to make it a full time career one day

And I'd love to just follow in my Dad's footsteps.
