What is autocross?
Autocross, is by definition a timed automotive competition event. The terms autocross, slalom, and gymkana are often used to describe the same activity. In autocross competition, one car at a time negotiates a serpentine course, hence the use of the word solo. Finishing position is based upon elapsed time to complete the course, with the lowest score winning. Vehicle agility and handling are emphasized rather than brute power or top speed. The top speed encountered is normally less than legal highway speeds.
