What Is RallyX?
RallyX, also known as dirt trial or rallycross, is among the most accessible forms of dirt motorsports. It has its roots in stage rally racing, where cars tackle sections of dirt roads one at a time. Dirt trial evolved in Japan in the 1980s and continues to be a popular offroad motorsport there. RallyX brings the thrills of stage rallies into a controlled environment where “daily driver” cars can be used to safely compete. A RallyX event is typically held on an unpaved, flat dirt area with the course consisting of straights and turns. As in stage rallies, cars run the course individually, with the best cumulative run times winning. Speeds are limited by the course layout, and a street vehicle along with seatbelts and a helmet is all that is required. If you are familiar with Solo II / AutoCross, RallyX is basically “autocross on the dirt.” This is a great way to learn to handle your car on lose terrain under controlled conditions, and to enjoy the thrill of competing off road.
