I'll review this one. I hope to have my first comments ready soon. Phlsph7 (talk) 07:33, 26 November 2022 (UTC)

Unfortunately, this is a quick fail: there are too many unreferenced paragraphs and there are even several whole sections without references. This was already a problem in the previous GA so this should really be addressed before the next nomination. I've recently added various "citation needed" tags to the article to highlight the problem.

Some other points that caught my eye:

• WP:EARWIG shows one potential copivio from https://www.snowmanrally.co.uk/the-50-s but I don't know who copied from whom.
• ... and many countries' motorsport governing bodies organise domestic rallying championship using speed competitions.: replace "championship" with "championships"
• A single-venue rally takes place without need for public road sections though the format and rules remain.: add "the" before "need"
• The article jumps between British English ("organised") and American English ("practiced ")
• The article has various duplicate links (like World Rally Championship, Circuit of Ireland Rally, and Buenos Aires), see MOS:DUPLINK.
• Some cases of MOS:WTW:
  • the operators of the famous casino who were keen to attract wealthy: "famous"
  • which included the infamous Stelvio Pass.: "infamous"
• There are various violations of MOS:BOLD, e.g. in the sections "Off-road rallies" and "Characteristics of a rally". There are only very few cases where bold font is used, it is not used to emphasize or to mark technical terms.
