RallyCross Driver of the Year

How it is awarded

The winner is decided by accumulation of points from designated events throughout the year, in addition to points awarded for finishing position at Divisional and National Championship events.

RallyCross points are determined using the same procedure as the Gymkhana Driver Trophy.  For an explanation of the current points system, please go to: nrscca.com.

What is a RallyCross?

RallyCross events are timed events that involve solo driving on grass or dirt and can be considered "autocross on the dirt." As with autocross, the emphasis is on driver skill and handling rather than absolute speed, with frequent corners generally keeping speeds below 60 mph.

Often the layout of the course will change throughout the day as the course must move away from dangerous ruts and other obstacles that are formed by the cars during competition. Each run made on the course could be drastically different than the last for a given driver.

Instead of taking the best time out of a number of runs, the times for each run are summed together. Added to this time are penalties for every cone the car hit and any gate that was missed. The winner is determined by the lowest combined time.
