charioteering
Ancient vehicle piloting
Charioteering is the skill or practice of driving a chariot—a two-wheeled horse-drawn vehicle used in ancient warfare and racing.
The term appears mostly in historical contexts: The Romans prized charioteering as both sport and spectacle.
It can describe the act itself or the broader art of chariot management.
