Quite simply, it is a flat-out race over closed sections of rural roads by modified production automobiles. It is different than most car races in that:
- Competitors race one car at a time against the clock, usually at one-minute intervals.
- Flat-out racing is done on limited access roads, blocked off from "civilian" traffic, rather than on prepared tracks.
- Events are usually several hundred miles long, often lasting for several days. Each car has a driver and a co-driver.
- In-between the racing stages, the cars travel over public roads (transit) and are required to obey all traffic laws.
For complete rules information please check with the sanctioning body of the event(s) you are interested in.
