Autocross is a timed motorsport event where drivers navigate a course marked by cones, typically set up in a large parking lot or airstrip. The goal is to complete the course as quickly as possible while maintaining control of the vehicle. Each driver runs the course individually, and their times are recorded to determine the winner. Participants often use their own cars, which can range from everyday vehicles to highly modified race cars. Autocross events are popular for their accessibility, allowing drivers of all skill levels to compete in a safe and controlled environment.
