Due to the idiosyncratic origins of the race, conducted far from the rallying traditions of Europe, the terminology of the championship differs considerably from that of other rallies. What is otherwise referred to as the ''itinerary'' is called the ''schedule'' in the SAR. The ''ceremonial start'' and ''finish'' is just referred to as the ''start'' and ''finish'', whilst the ''start'' and ''finish points'' of each day are referred to as ''starting-'' and ''stopping points''. The ''stages'' are referred to as ''sections''. ''Legs'' are not the same as in other races, here legs refer to a collection of sections spanning thousands of kilometers.
