Race Type Descriptions

Rally
Unlike many types of auto racing, rallying takes place on a point-to-
point track, or "stage" – there are no laps involved, and your goal is
to get from the starting line to the fi nish in the shortest time possible.
Instead of wheel-to-wheel competition, racers attempt each stage one at
a time, and the racer with the best time at the end is the winner.
Each stage is broken into sections. As you complete each section, you'll
cross a checkpoint, which will show you how your time compares to
your competitors'. Even if an opponent is ahead of you in the fi rst few
sections, smart driving can put you in fi rst place.
Rallycross
Rallycross racing combines the thrill and skill of driving on mixed terrain
with lap-based, wheel-to-wheel racing. Instead of staggered starts and
best overall times, you'll be pitting your machine and abilities against
three other racers at once.
Note: All Single Race and Multiplayer races are wheel-to-wheel.
