Inspiration

I've had this idea for a long time. I wanted to bring to the world of rally racing what already exists for soccer: a fantasy game that allows anyone to manage their own racing team, experience the thrill of motorsport strategy, and compete with others in a fun and engaging way.

What it does

FantaRally is a fantasy rally management game. Players create their own virtual team by selecting real drivers from various rally championships like WRC, ERC, and national series. Each driver has a cost, so players must balance their team within a budget. Based on real-world rally results, drivers earn points, and users compete in leagues, tournaments, or private groups.

The platform features:

  • Team creation with real drivers.
  • Live point tracking during events.
  • Leagues and rankings.
  • Dynamic performance and value system.

How we built it

The platform was built using bolt.new and modern web technologies. The backend handles live data parsing and score calculation from rally results. The frontend is a user-friendly interface where users can register, create teams, join leagues, and view standings. The site is hosted at: https://fantarally.site We have split it with dedicated admin area, for race, drivers, results and general settings. Both webapp was built using bolt.new (admin area has be tweaked a little more on local using windsurf), project was too big for deal it on bolt.new

Challenges we ran into

Unfortunately, there is no public API for WRC or rally race in general, so we had to make admin backend that let add or modify data stored into Supabase database.

  • Data acquisition: Rally results are not as easily accessible or structured as soccer data, so we had to create custom parsers and adapt to various formats.
  • Balancing: Designing a fair points system and pricing model for drivers to reflect their real-world value and performance.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

  • Launched a fully working web platform that will be used by real users.
  • Successfully integrated rally data with automated point calculations.
  • Built a unique game in a niche market where no similar fantasy competition existed.

What we learned

  • The rally fanbase is very passionate and eager for interactive tools like this.
  • Data integration requires both technical precision and adaptability.
  • Community engagement is key — especially for niche sports games.

What’s next for FantaRally

  • More championships: Add regional/national series and historic rally categories.
  • Improved live tracking: More dynamic dashboards and stage-by-stage stats.
  • Monetization: Probably let use buy credits for make batter teams abd also explore premium leagues or partnerships with rally events.
  • Community features: Add social tools like chats, forums, and rivalries.
