Motorkhana

Motorkhana is a low-cost form of motorsport, unique to Australia and New Zealand but similar to autotesting in the UK and Ireland and gymkhana in the US.

This usually requires sliding and spinning the car accurately while maintaining speed through the test course.

Vehicle speed rarely exceeds 60 km/h (37 mph) but the tightness of the tests ensures the driver is kept very busy.

Some motorkhana specials use modified automatic transmissions to facilitate rapid gearchanges between first and reverse gears.

Most championship motorkhanas are run on bitumen or concrete while club events are usually on dirt, grass or mud.
