A rally is an event made up of several high speed "Special Stages" on public or private roads, tarmac or dirt, closed to the public, and ranging in length from 2 to 30 km over which each "Rally Crew" driver and co-driver) competes, attempting to drive the distance in the shortest possible time. Competitors start each "Special Stage" at a minimum interval of 1 minute.

The role of the "co-driver" (navigator) is to read route instructions to the driver from a road book or pace notes, which gives details of the route.

The "Special Stages" in a rally are linked by "Road Sections" which are the means of getting from one special stage to the next, and are driven at normal road speeds, observing all traffic and road rules. Opportunities are also provided during the rally for the servicing of the rally car.

A motor race is an event where many cars compete at the same time, over the same course, with the aim of being the first car to complete the required number of laps of the circuit. This could either be a permanent racing circuit or constructed by joining several public roads (closed to the public). Races may be held for specific groups of cars, based on engine capacity, make / model of car, type of car, etc.

There are two different types of races; "scratch" races (where the fastest cars start at the front of the starting grid), or "handicap" races (where the slowest cars start first with a varying start distance or time back to the faster cars).

Races can be over a variety of distances, ranging from just a couple of laps, up to as many laps as can be completed in a 24-hour period.

Although motor racing can never be truly inexpensive, racing need not be prohibitively expensive. It is still possible to race competitively in a car which you have driven to the circuit.
