TSD is a Time-Speed-Distance rally. The object is to maintain a strict
average speed while covering a given mileage in the proper time. Most of
these are run at what would sound like low speed, but it's actually
quite challenging. Of interest to Q-owners is the fact they often use
unpaved or very rural paved roads, allowing the driver some enjoyment.
One of my favorites was a 8 hour enduro on 70% unpaved roads. Quite
entertaining trying to maintain 40mph on a one lane dirt fire road!
