looks good, our autox here in the uk is on grass (the surface, not the weed..)

 

[nickr]

sweet, i think thats considered rallyx here

 

[Jon Olds]

Not quite. I have quite a bit of both over the years (100+ autocrosses...) and autox is single surface usually grass, rallyx has at least part tarmac

Without any experience other than watching it on TV, I'd agree with this. - The X-Games rallyx is always tarmac and "dirt", and the European rallyx looks pretty similar.

As an aside, did anyone see the footage of the "rookie" S. Loeb competing in the X-Games?
I'm not sure how they decided rallyx was so different from rally that a multiple world champion was a rookie... needless to say he made it look easy.
