Co-driver

Co-driver
The co-driver is seated lower in the car to improve weight distribution.

Co-driver is the term given to the navigator of rally car in the sport of rally racing, who sits in the front passenger seat. The co-driver's job is to navigate, by reading off a set of pacenotes to the driver, often over a radio headset, due to the high level of noise in the car.[1] The co-driver tells the driver what lies ahead, where to turn, the severity of the turn, and what obstacles to look out for.[2][3] Co-drivers are also often called on to perform maintenance on the car during road sections and special stages, such as changing a wheel.
