Sponsored by RDS Automotive group (I have no affiliation other than I bought two Porsches from their Porsche dealership.) My 4th time doing this. It was a blast!

Nice video.

What are those funky raised platforms with grass on top that can be seen behind the houses at 2:32 in the video? I've never seen anything like that.

I agree that is kind of weird. I'm not sure what their purpose is other than to provide a small backyard off the main floor?

Interestingly enough, this home in the video is a model home for a nearby development. Part of the fun of this road rally is that you had to find clues along the route and answer car trivia questions with each leg. RDS partnered with the builder to bring in "wealthy" clientele to see their model as part of the road rally. One of the questions was "how many fire places does the model home have?" This forced everyone to tour every room. Fantastic marketing strategy. It was also a **** stop which helped. 85 mile rally.

We would have won the Road rally but I missed one trivia question: "What is the newest Porsche GT car to be announced this year?" I said it was the GT2 instead of the GT2RS (which I knew). Bummer! I won it 4 years ago anyway.

You have to have a navigator in the car with you (to help navigate and find clues). Somehow my marriage survived another RDS road rally. We are both hyper competitive.
