Mirek, did you mean rally-cross? You see over in the Rally 3rd World， when people say "auto-cross" its a form of activity (hard to call it racing) that is done in parking places done in 1st and second gear 99% of the time. And they usually have more than 25 car classes.... That video of Prokop was great, real hard driving, action, and dirt flying; US auto-cross if you watch it, any normal person begins think of suicide since that would be more merciful than the boredom you suffer...

So was that a real rally-cross course, or what?


(what is called rally-cross here is same "must be approx 60-70 km/hr max" only on grass or dirt.. I call it grass-o-cross out of respect for real rally-cross...Funny thing is that many guys nationwide have picked up this idea and have begun calling grass-o-cross also....Again you begin looking for a long skinny screw driver to poke into your eyes if you accidentally watch it)

No, I mean autocross - it even has a European championship by FIA

It's run with buggies (but also "cars") on dirt circuits. Very contact and spectacular motorsport. The strongest buggies have either 4 litre N/A or 2.0T engine, permanent 4WD with differentials etc.
