The rally course runs through deserts and mountains.
Tips
memory
拉力 (lā-lì) is a phonetic loan for English 'rally' — the characters happen to mean 'pull-strength' but here they're just sounds. Add 赛 (sài, 'race / contest') for 'rally race'. Compare with the same loan in 拉力 used for 'rally' in tennis.
culture
拉力赛 in Chinese sports media most often refers to off-road endurance races: WRC (世界拉力锦标赛), the 达喀尔拉力赛 (Dakar Rally), and the 中国拉力赛 (China Rally). Distinct from F1 (一级方程式), which is a circuit race.
