Rallycross

Tarmac-and-dirt competition

Rallycross is a form of motorsport that combines circuit racing with rally driving, typically on mixed surfaces—part pavement, part gravel or dirt.

Races are short, intense sprints with multiple cars competing simultaneously on a closed course that includes jumps and tight corners.

The rallycross track had a dirt section that threw up huge rooster tails of mud.
