rallyks
Rallyks is a term used to describe a type of rallying event that combines elements of rallying and rallycross. The term is a portmanteau of "rally" and "rallycross," reflecting its hybrid nature. Rallyks events are typically held on closed circuits or temporary layouts, similar to rallycross, but with a focus on rallying techniques and equipment. This includes the use of rally cars, which are typically based on production cars with modifications for rallying, such as all-wheel drive and lower centers of gravity. The events often feature stages that are designed to test the driver's skills in navigating tight corners, jumps, and other challenging obstacles, similar to rallying. Rallyks events are popular in Europe and have gained traction in other parts of the world as a way to combine the excitement of rallying with the accessibility of rallycross. The sport has its own championship, with teams and drivers competing for titles in various categories.
