Usage Note
Rally is a borrowing from English referring to a stage rally motorsport event such as the Dakar Rally. The Royal Spanish Academy recommends the adapted spelling rali (plural ralis) and treats rally as an anglicism best written in italics, with the English plural rallies. It is used almost exclusively in a motorsport context, unlike English 'rally' which has broader meanings.
