The Co-Driver's Bag: What to Pack Before the 2027 Rally Season

Drivers get the headlines, but a stage rally is won on the notes. Race and Rally, a motorsport supplier in Lisburn, Northern Ireland, since 2006, stocks the co-driver's side of the car as well as brakes and clutches. This checklist covers six things worth sorting over winter, with links to each range at raceandrally.com.

The six-item co-driver checklist

ZeroNoise Brave analog intercom at Race and Rally

Intercoms

Clear comms between driver and co-driver, wired to the helmet. See the ZeroNoise Brave analog intercom.

Monit G200+ GPS rally trip at Race and Rally

Trip computers and meters

Distance and speed readouts the co-driver can trust on a stage. See the Monit G200+ GPS rally trip.

NoteBook pacenote book at Race and Rally

Pacenote books

Where the notes live. Spare books belong in the service bag. See the NoteBook pacenote book.

Grayston Avanti cone map light at Race and Rally

Map and pacenote lights

Light for reading notes on a night stage. See the Grayston Avanti cone map light.

Fastime co-driver watch strap at Race and Rally

Stopwatches

Timing for control arrivals and starts. See the Fastime co-driver watch strap.

Co-driver hardware

One bag for notes, pens, watch and paperwork. See the Atech co-driver bag.

Winter prep tips

Test the comms. Wire the intercom to both helmets and check for hiss before the first event.
Calibrate the trip. Re-check it against a measured distance after any tyre change.
Pack spares. A second pacenote book, a spare pen and a spare light bulb weigh almost nothing.
Do the driver's side too. See the HANS devices and the rally helmets.

Gift ideas for a co-driver

A watch strap, map light or co-driver bag costs little and gets used all season. If you can't choose, there's a Race and Rally gift voucher.
