Rallycross races involve cars identical to those used in rally events the races themselves, however, are very different.

In addition, during rally events, a co-driver is present, constantly reading pacenotes to guide the driver along narrow and meandering tracks of up to 6 km in length. Usually involving staggered starts, each driver competes against the clock.

Rally racing occurs on non- circuit roads which usually involve public (closed) routes and technically challenging courses.
