British autocross

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This page is about the sport of Autocross as practiced in the United Kingdom. For similar competitions in other countries, see autocross (disambiguation).

In the United Kingdom, autocrosses are typically held on a grass or stubble surface. In fact the attraction is the challenge of driving quickly on challenging and difficult surfaces. Cars compete individually against the clock, although more than one car may start at the same time if the circuit is long enough and wide enough. Because the course is usually bumpy and there is a risk of contact with other cars, most competitors use specially prepared cars (which vary from very inexpensive to specially engineered racers) brought on trailers. Events are usually held on a region-wide basis, with the RACMSA (Royal Automobile Club Motor Sports Association, now often called MSA)) overseeing rules and regulations.
