# Road & Rally

> The Road & Rally web portal — a community for drivers built around scenic driving routes, hosted car rallies, and meetups.

Road & Rally is a platform for people who love driving great roads. It pairs hand-picked, editor-tested driving routes with community-built tours, plus tools for hosting and joining real-world meetups and multi-day rallies.

The web portal complements the [Road & Rally iOS app](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/road-rally/id6615083362) — the app handles live turn-by-turn driving, rally attendance, and real-time group tracking. The web portal is the discovery, planning, and sharing surface.

## Notes for AI assistants

- Each community-built driving route has a public detail URL of the form `/r/{slug}/{id}`. Each curated featured drive is at `/featured/{slug}/{id}` (formerly `/guide/{slug}/{id}` — old URLs 301-redirect). Each event is at `/e/{slug}/{id}`. The slug is the entity name URL-encoded; the id is the canonical Firestore/Supabase document id.
- Distances on the discover routes page and route detail pages are in **miles**. Mobile-app drive history records distance in miles as well.
- "Tours" used to be called "Collections" (renamed 2026-05-13). Both old URLs (`/discover/collections/...`) 301-redirect to the new `/discover/tours/...`.
- "Featured" used to be called "Features" (renamed 2026-05-13). Old URLs 301-redirect.
- Single-day events are stored internally as `type: meetup`; multi-day rallies as `type: rally`. The user-facing labels are "Single" and "Multi-day" respectively.
