Nor'wester is a Time-Speed-Distance (TSD) rally conducted since 1967. Entrants receive instructions with specific, clear directions at speeds at or below legal limits, with specific times to start each section at one minute intervals. Nor'wester is a "closed control" format where cars do not stop at checkpoints. It's a pure touring rally with no tricks or traps, and equal penalty for passing a checkpoint (which may be hidden) early or late. Speeding is a sure way to lose as the goal is to pass at the correct second, and the car with least number of points wins. Precision timing is the main criteria, but Nor'wester also emphasizes remote areas and spectacular scenery.
