Rally is auto racing. If you objection is dirt, Americans have dirt track racing, Rally has all tarmac sometimes. Or was their another point?
Dirt? It has nothing to do with the surface, I thought the definition of racing was setting X competitors off at the same time and having them directly race each other to see who finishes first. That's not how rallying works.
Rally is a great motorsport though.
It is racing against time not opponent position, except when they do RallyCross and start two simultaneously. Auto racing just describes that it is cars. Decades back I always heard it called Rally Racing, rather than Circuit Racing or Drag Racing. I think we have must have dropped Racing off of Rally and Circuit off of Circuit. But Rally describes that it is timed stages rather than a circuit.
