Autocross is a form of car racing where drivers navigate through a course defined by traffic cones on a large paved area such as a parking lot or airport tarmac. At these events, rather than face multiple cars in a wheel-to-wheel race, participants go through the course one at a time as a computer clocks them.

Drag racing is a form of motor racing in which two drivers compete against each other to see who can cover a certain distance, usually a quarter mile, in the shortest amount of time. The race typically takes place on a straight track or strip, and the winner is determined by their elapsed time and speed.

A car or bike rally is an event in which participants drive or ride their vehicles over long distances, often on public roads or off-road courses, in a timed competition. The rally typically takes place over several days, with each day consisting of multiple stages or segments of the course. The objective of a rally is to complete each stage in the shortest time possible, while adhering to traffic laws and any other rules specific to the event.
