Gymkhana literally means ‘Car Rodeo’. Gymkhana is a best time in class obstacle course event in an automobile.  The driver must maneuver through a course performing many different driving techniques. What separates gymkhana from traditional autocross events is that the gymkhana requires drivers to perform reversals, 180 degree spins, 360 degree spins, parking boxes, figure 8s and other advanced skills. Drifting is also encouraged where helpful or necessary. Drifting is an art form enabled by the talent of the drivers to control a vehicle through corners at speeds and angles that exceed the vehicle’s ability to adhere to the ground surface.  However, the driver’s goal is to get through the course as timely as possible with the least amount of mistakes. Acceleration, braking, drifting & grip driving are all necessary. Not only do they have to hold control over his/her own car, but gymkhana requires strong mental concentration and memorization
