You know, more rallies are contested on tarmac than on gravel now, so you're not quite right.
Most race cars employ only a driver on a closed course or dedicated race track.
Drivers in races like BTCC and the like have the opportunity to practice on the course prior to the event.
Rallies are contested by a driver/co-driver team on a closed course which is otherwise usually public access road (with the exception of rallies like Germany which use military testing ranges), and the courses are not driven in competition prior to the start of the timed event.
