I believe you had to beat the time; same with any other Mario Kart game, same with any other racing game.

Could be. It was a long time ago in a galaxy far far way that I played it.

I will look for that.

It's very popular in Europe, mostly with classic cars

Regularity rally sounds like a support group for people who need help with their bowel movements.

In germany called glp/ gleichmäßigkeitsveranstaltungen

I've seen them referred to as just a rallye or a TSD (time/speed/distance) rally

Not here!
This is random so it would be on topic. To be done right it needs to be where it is least expected.

I did a road rally one time.

It was fun. It wasn't a race of who can get the fastest time per leg nor who can get the fastest time overall, but who can follow directions to the "T" and match the specified time without cheating.

Extremely stressful, amplified by the cover of darkness and not knowing where you are. Also I had to put full trust into my co-pilot, who was my brother. Let's just say one mistake from him cost us the race.

But learned a lot from watching the other drivers and looking forward to when they start up again.
