When referring to car or motorcycle racing it also means the timed running of a course, often with specific manoeuvres that must be completed. It tends to focus on skill and manoeuverability rather than speed.
I had never really seen one. Back in the 80's, that was very popular for R/C cars competitions.

I didn't have the audio on, but I noticed the exhaust only appears to have two pipes exiting the body, is that car rotary powered?

I know there is a blue one with a rotary in it somewhere in southern Louisiana, which is pretty bad ***.

no none of it was sped up, in britain they have events like this all the time, like auto-x's here... thats a pretty old video though...

is there really a rotary powered super7? that would be *****, thats not a real super7 in the video though, its a kit car, either way bad-***...

Do you have some sort of special tranny / e-brake setup like in drift cars where you can slam it into reverse... it almost looks like an RC-Car with the way it can just go into reverse... and do they use some sort of special rubber compound since obviously slicks would give you tooo much traction for this...
