What is the road book in racing?

In addition to the driver, another equally important person in a rally competition is the navigator, because the navigator will convey track information to the driver according to the road book during the competition. An analogy is like a blind man carrying a lame man's back. The navigator plays an important role not only in issuing orders during the stage, but also in controlling the rhythm of the entire race and stabilizing the driver's mood. The following is an introduction to the rally road book.
