It is dirt track autocross
Australian Autocross. Not the woosie American "between the cones on bitumen in a carpark" type of autocross. LOL. Our events are on a range of loose surface CAMS approved permanent tracks . Some are ultra smooth and will get your tyres squealing as the rubber is laid down during the event .( If you have rubber that is too hard:thumbdwn:) while other tracks are rutted to such an extent that you have to be careful as you float the car into a corner that it does not trip over:o Broken driveshafts are also not uncommon on the more corrugated tracks:(
Yes the engine bay is dirty and so is the interior . I only did round two last weekend and then parked the car in my carport after hosing the mud off from the underside before it set LOL.The last event was plagued by floods (well heavy rain in the morning) and so much dust in the afternoon that they had the dreaded water truck out ! If you look closely at the photos you will see that the car has water beads on it because I washed it just before I got the camera out . The engine bay does not get cleaned (ever ! ) with water as I have learned the hard way that aftermarket ECU wiring and excessive water are not a good combination . All I do is wipe the motor with a rag and blow excess dust off with compressed air
