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.
