THE ROADBOOK MARKETPLACE
The Roadbook Marketplace is coming soon.
Real rally-raid roadbooks, made by the clubs, schools and navigators who ride them, rented for one riding session, straight into the RallyBook cockpit. Rentals open shortly. Get the app, join your event, and your stages are waiting.
HOW IT WORKS
Rent the roadbook. Ride it. That's the product.
01 · LOOK BEFORE YOU PAY
Browse the world map at Discover, on this website or in the app. Every listing carries a free preview of the real document, pages a creator cannot curate or switch off. Nothing is rented blind.
02 · RENT IT WITH CREDITS
Credits are RallyBook's currency, one Credit to the euro, bought inside the RallyBook app and spent on rentals and Analysis Reports from one balance. Rent on this site or in the app. The price is the price, and there is no subscription.
03 · RIDE IT
Download at home, open at the bivouac, ride with no signal. Your rental covers one riding session on up to two cockpit devices, driver and navigator.
04 · DEBRIEF
Ride a GPX stage and your run gives you an Analysis Report like any other: where you lost the line and what it cost. A PDF stage has no route line to measure against, so there is no Report to buy and we do not sell you one. Rating the roadbook afterwards is separate, free, and open only to riders who rode it.
THE PREVIEW
Free, and not optional.
A roadbook is worth what it is worth, and a stranger cannot judge that from a title. Every listing therefore has to carry a preview of the real document before it can be published, and looking at it costs nothing and spends no Credits. The pages are picked from the file itself, so a creator cannot show you their best three vignettes and hide the rest. If the preview does not convince you, the answer is not to rent it.
WHAT YOU CAN RENT
Two kinds of roadbook, and the difference is honest.
GPX ROADBOOKS
The full cockpit: waypoints to validate, odometer, speed zones, alarms, and the route itself. A free preview shows a stretch of the real stage. After the ride, an Analysis Report can measure your run against the line: where you went off, what you cut, what it cost.
PDF ROADBOOKS
The document as it was drawn, page by page, with a free preview of the real pages. It navigates the way paper navigates. There is no route line behind it, so no Analysis Report is offered and none is charged for. Renting, offline use, two devices and reviews all work exactly the same.
ONE RIDING SESSION
48 hours, from when you ride, not from when you tap.
A rental is one complete riding session, up to 48 hours. You are renting the stage, not buying it: nobody walks off with the file. The clock starts when you actually begin riding the route, by validating a waypoint or covering the first kilometre of the stage. Downloading it at home starts nothing. Opening it in the tent the night before starts nothing. The liaison to the start starts nothing. Rally mornings are chaotic enough without a timer you didn't mean to arm.
OFFLINE, PROPERLY
Rent and download with signal, then ride with none. The window is enforced on the device itself, so a week in the dunes needs nothing from the cloud.
TWO DEVICES, ONE RENTAL
A rally cockpit has a driver and a navigator. One rental covers both tablets, sharing one window. That is the normal case, not a favour.
PROTECTED FOR ITS MAKER
Rented roadbooks are encrypted on the device and are removed when the session ends. The creator keeps the work, which is why the good ones will be here.
FOR CREATORS
Your roadbooks are worth money. We built the till.
Clubs, rally schools, professional navigators, organizers with last season's stages on a shelf: the Marketplace exists so that work earns. You set the price. A training stage at 15 Credits or a professional multi-day book at 300, it is your call, not ours.
YOU EARN ON EVERY RENTAL
You keep the larger share of what each rental nets, on every single rental, in a creator ledger that itemises the sale rather than summarising it. Section 11 of the terms sets out exactly how the share is calculated, and your dashboard shows the real figures for your own sales.
RENTED, NEVER COPIED
Riders rent a session. They never own the roadbook and they never walk off with the file. Encryption, expiry and device limits are the platform's job, so listing your best work does not mean giving it away once.
EARNED, NOT GAMED
Every listing is read by a human before it publishes, the free preview is a condition of publishing and not a setting, and ratings come only from riders who verifiably rode your stage. Quality is the whole point.
From file to listing
How a roadbook becomes a rental.
01
Upload a GPX or PDF
Drop the file into your workspace. A GPX stage gives riders the full cockpit, with waypoints, odometer and speed zones. A PDF gives them the pages as you drew them. Both rent the same way.
02
The preview is free, and not optional
Preview pages are picked from the file itself, so riders look at the real thing before they pay. A listing without a preview cannot be published.
03
Set the price in Credits
One Credit is one euro. A training loop at 15, a multi-day book at 300: your call. Riders buy Credits in the RallyBook app and rent on this site or in the app.
04
A person reads it before it publishes
Every listing is checked before it appears on the map. Withdraw it any time.
05
Reviews only from riders who rode it
A rating can only be left by a rider who rented the stage and verifiably rode it. Nobody else gets a say.
Money
Earnings, holds and payouts, in plain words.
You earn the majority of every rental
Each rental is itemised in your ledger the moment it is paid, with your share shown as a real figure. The terms set out exactly how it is calculated.
Held, then available
A new earning sits as pending while the rental clears, then moves to available. Your earnings page shows both totals and every sale behind them.
Paid out by bank transfer, on request
From €100 of available earnings, ask for a payout and it goes to your bank account.
Or convert to Credits, at +10%
Turn available earnings into Credits for your own rentals and Analysis Reports, with ten percent on top.
Protection
Riders rent a session. They never get the file.
Encrypted on the device
A rented roadbook opens inside RallyBook, under the rider's account. There is no export and no share sheet.
One session, 48 hours from the first ride
The clock starts when the rider begins the stage, not when they download. The rider has 30 days from purchase to download and start.
Two cockpit devices
Driver and navigator share one rental. A third device does not open it.
