Gymkhana (motorsport)

Gymkhana is a type of motorsport, known as Motorkhana in Australia and New Zealand and as Autotesting in the United Kingdom and Ireland.

Essentially, a gymkhana is any event featuring a starting point, a finish line and some sort of "obstacle" to get through, around, or by, all within a certain time limit.

Not only does the driver have to hold control over the car, but gymkhana requires strong mental concentration and memorization.

Like autocross and autotesting, gymkhana courses are laid out with cones representing "obstacles" to navigate through.

Gymkhana requires strong mental concentration and memorization of the track, as sections of the course frequently must be repeated or navigated backwards and or differently.

Gymkhana participants are allowed two runs of the course, with the fastest time being used to determine the winner of a class.
