Rally-x

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Rallycross is a term for motorsports where automobiles are raced on closed permanent mixed-surface circuits or temporary unpathed surface tracks. In Europe, Rallycross is a sport where several cars start at a time and travel several laps around a permanent mixed-surface circuit (usually tarmac and gravel) together. Although the cars are different, it bears some resemblance to sprint car racing in the United States. However, for 2006 it is planned by the British Rallycross driver Mark Williams, in cooperation with the NASA (National Auto Sports Association), to introduce European Rallycross in the USA under the name Rallyracing. In the United States, the term RallyCross is used to describe SCCA RallyCross. This is a timed event that involves solo driving on grass or dirt in a manner that that is similar to how American Autocross events are driven on asphalt or concrete.
