Service Park
A Service Park is a designated area in rally racing where teams perform maintenance and repairs on their vehicles during a competition.
This central hub serves as an operational base where mechanics work against strict time limits to fix damage, change tires, adjust vehicle setups, and refuel cars between rally stages. Teams face time penalties if they exceed their allocated service time.
Service Parks also function as gathering points for teams, media, and spectators. They're typically located in accessible areas near rally stages and provide rare opportunities for fans to see rally cars up close and sometimes meet drivers. In events like the World Rally Championship, Service Parks become temporary motorsport villages with team facilities, hospitality areas, and technical zones.
