Discuss the types and characteristics of motor sports

Automobile sports are categorized into rallies and track races.

1. Rally

Rally is a long-distance competition on dirt, gravel or tarmac roads with roadbeds, held within a country or across several countries, which tests the performance and quality of vehicles as well as the driving skills of drivers. The race is held on a specified date in a number of stages, each of which is alternated by a number of speed-tested stages connected by driving sections, each of which does not exceed 30 kilometers in length.

The race will be held by single start, with each crew consisting of one driver and one co-driver. The final result will be calculated by accumulating the time for each team to complete all the special sections of the race and the penalty time in the driving section, the shorter the time the higher the ranking. There is a strict time limit for the driving section, and late or early arrival will be penalized.

2. Track Racing

Since the completion of the Zhuhai International Circuit, China's first racing circuit, the history of touring car track racing has officially begun in China. At that time, the races were mainly touring car races between Hong Kong and Macau, all of which were held at the Zhuhai Circuit.In 1998, the predecessor of the National Car Circuit Championship (with the same name) was officially held.

There was only one round of racing at the time, with the same regulations as the Hong Kong Touring Car Championship, so the lineup was the same as the Hong Kong and Macau Touring Car Championships except for the addition of a small number of drivers from South China, such as Kwok Hoi Sang and Lam Lap Fung. It wasn't until 2003 that the Beijing Goldenport Circuit was established and the race was added to the schedule, making it China's first multi-stage touring car race.

p>Development of automobile sports in the new era:

Currently, China is still in the primary stage of socialism, with a large population, a thin base, a low per capita income, and an imbalance in economic development between regions, which is the main factor restricting the scale and speed of the development of China's automobile sports and leading to the majority of the people's understanding of and participation in the automobile sports is still at a low level, and there is a large gap compared with the developed countries.

From now until 2010, it is an important period for China's economic and social development, an important period for structural adjustment of the economy, and an important period for perfecting the socialist market economic system and expanding opening to the outside world. The automobile manufacturing industry, financial industry and road transportation, which play an important role in automobile consumption, will have faster and greater development, which will be a favorable time to promote the development of automobile sports.

With the increasing level of national consumption and the development of people's consumption demand in the direction of diversification and multi-level, automobile sports will surely gain a broader space for development. The open policy, stable environment, as well as the accession to the WTO and the success of the Olympic bid will certainly attract a large number of international automobile industry and all kinds of commercial capital to enter the Chinese market, which in turn will bring new opportunities and challenges for the reform and development of China's automobile sports business.
