One of the cheapest
and most enjoyable forms of motor sport, where you can use a standard road
car, but driving ability is vital.
Cars compete alone, against the clock.
The driver must negotiate a set route between obstacles, usually plastic
pylons or cones.
Usually, some parts of the route must
be tackled in reverse. The surface is normally smooth, often asphalt.
The entry is divided into classes, according
to the physical size of the car and / or its technical specification (front-wheel
drive and rear-wheel drive, for example).
