Too Afraid to Ask

In rallying, a stage is a specific timed part of the route. Drivers are racing the clock on that section, and the layout (like roundabouts) changes how they have to drive.

Technical Definition

A rally stage is a timed section of the course where competitors push for the best time. Stages can include unique features—like roundabouts—that strongly affect braking points and cornering lines.
