But in reality, not all drivers are thoroughly checking their tires in every trip, thus following the recommended once a week check-up on their tire’s condition. Also, if set for a long journey, drivers only have the chance to check their tire during stop-over or if they decide to pull-over.  The condition of the tire is usually ignored unless its five years old and above, but not that they know of, tires are vital in any driver’s safety once he/she is holding the steering wheel.

After the 2008 Dakar rally, the contest was moved to South America. This took place because of the security threats taking place in the different regions of Africa that has also caused the termination of the rally in that same year.

Off-road contests are open to beginners, amateurs, and professionals. However, it is very obvious that because of the different terrain and weather conditions during the contest, only the best ones are expected to finish the race. In the same way, the drivers that drive the best cars are also more likely to endure the different terrain conditions and will surely be the ones to finish the race.

People who are so much passionate and fascinated on off–road contests should also be familiar with the Taupo One Thousand Race in New Zealand. It is also a kind of endurance competition because it is a kind of stand-alone contest. This contest usually last for two days and it is also expected that the toughest and most resistant contestants can win in this game.

Basing from the name, off-road contests are events which are participated in by automobiles with certain modifications. Basically, these cars or automobiles are expected to compete with the other cars and they usually do these kinds of contest in the natural environments. Most of the time, motorists or drivers are expected to compete driving on hard and unpaved roads even in extreme and harsh conditions.

The roads which will be taken by these participating automobiles are usually covered with sands, stones, snow, rocks, and mud. As a matter of fact, any kind of terrain which you may want to think is all possible places where these types of competitions are to be held. Generally, the more difficult and challenging a terrain is the more skills the driver is required to have. Moreover, it is also a way by which the manufacturers of the competing automobiles are tested.

Of the many different off-road contests that are taking place, the Dakar Rally is considered as the most popular all over the world today. Its other name is also known as the Paris Dakar Rally. Although this kind of competition is called a rally, it is still considered as an endurance contest.
Since the evolution of this contest began in 1978, participants in the event are expected to undergo long distance driving. Usually, the start of their journey starts from France all the way to Dakar in Senegal.

Off-road race lovers are in for more treats, as superstars will take part in the series.  Supercross driver Ricky Johnson, off-road top racers Justin Matney, Luke Johnson, Jessie Johnson, and Andrew Cadell, and rally driver Samuel Hubinette are among those who already said yes to the event. Viewers will also get to see NASCAR Truck series’ Justin Lofton race at the upcoming series. Aside from all of these big names in the racing industry, Gordon invited off-road veterans Danny Thompson, Walker Evans and Ivan “Ironman” Stewart as well.

While Stadium Super Trucks is still a small series, it is expected to make a mark already, especially that it will be aired on TV. SpeedTV, ESPN2, and other television channels set aside a lot of airtime for the series, making it available to more off-road lovers. Even viewers who would not be able to watch live can follow the event by watching it on TV regularly.

The announcement of Stadium Super Trucks was welcomed by off-road racers and enthusiasts. It will be the first indoor off-road contest since Mickey Thompson organized his own indoor off-road event in 1979. Thompson’s series was done in various stadiums such as the Los Angeles Coliseum. It was the start and inspiration that led to off-road arcade games, which became a hit in the 80s and 90s. This is why all eyes are on the upcoming Stadium Super Trucks series and many are expected to support it.

NASCAR driver Robby Gordon aims to bring back stadium off-road racing to the scene. Gordon, the son of former off-road superstar “Baja Bob” Gordon, rolled out the Robby Gordon’s Stadium Super Trucks. The series is scheduled to start next year, 17 years after the reign of a famous off-road event series started by the late Mickey Thompson ended. Gordon promised to announce further details as the event draws near.

The Stadium Super Trucks will offer an award of $40,000 to the winner. The runner-up will get to take home $15,000, while the third placer will receive $5,000. The series champion wouldn’t just receive the cash prize, as he will also bag a payout of $500,000. The rewards are seen as a good start for the series even if they are not as grandiose as NASCAR prizes. It is understandable though because the series is just beginning, with only a single sponsorship from Traxxas, an R/C car builder. People and off-road race experts are waiting if the series can gain more sponsors to make it a bigger event. Renting a Car in Italy.

I guess since you are currently asking about a car rental in Italy you have made a research and you have found out that the public transport is not fulfilling your need. A friend of mine was in Italy a couple of years ago and to tell he was really pleased with car rental companies. I don’t remember the name of the company he used, but I think it was Hertz – after all they are worldwide famous and they have proven their qualities lots of times. 

There are some important tips you need to know about the major car companies in Italy. First of all you need to know what is included in your car rental and what is not. By signing with a car rental company you will get unlimited mileage and fire insurance plus liability insurance for damages and injuries of the persons outside the vehicle. Also have in mind that the rental includes Theft Protection for the vehicle you are currently renting.The rental also includes Collision Damage coverage.

The rental does not include gasoline or diesel and you are expected to return the car with a full fuel tank plus you need to retain the copies of the gas receipts. Of course there is a pre-paid fuel option and in this case you can return the car with empty tank but have in mind that there is no refund for the unused fuel. By the way there is a road tax in Italy and it is approximately 4 euros per day – the maximum charge is 20 days. Plus there are additional taxes if you are going to use highways.

Now I will tell you a few words about the cars. Unfortunately I can’t give you exact prices or things like this but I know one thing that is going to be 100 % true. If you are going to rent a car and if you are not a pretentious type then I would recommend you to rent an Italian one. Since you are in Italy you may expect that their cars will be cheaper than the prices for rent for a foreign car. So clear your mind and pick Fiat or Alfa Romeo.

By the way I don’t know where you have accommodated in Rome but if you haven’t made a reservation yet I would suggest you to rent Apartment in Rome – if you search closely you might be able to find even cheaper apartments than Apartment Milan or apartment Florence which are known as cities that are offering cheap apartments.
I’m pretty sure that if you read closely everything I wrote you will be able to clear your mind and choose the best renting company and car. But anyway have in mind that renting a car is really expensive and the country doesn’t matter here. Prepare some extra money because when you pay for the rent you will have to pay for gas, fees and so on. I think that is all.
