		Rallying, or rally racing, involves highly modified production cars on (closed) public roads or off-road areas run on a point-to-point format where participants and their co-drivers “rally” to a set of points, leaving in regular intervals from start points.

	Stock car racing at AllExperts
		Stock car racing is a form of automobile racing found mainly in the United States held largely on banked, asphalt or concrete oval tracks of between approximately 1/2 mile and 2.66 miles (about 0.8 to 4.2 kilometres) in length, but also raced occasionally on conventional racing circuits, also known as road courses.
		Modern stock cars superficially resemble standard American family sedans, but are in fact purpose-built racing machines built to a strict set of regulations governing the car design ensuring that the chassis, suspension, engine, etc. are architecturally identical on all vehicles.
		Whilst it is true that stock car racing is less technically sophisticated than many other forms of motorsport, the relative equality of the machinery makes the racing closer and results in more of a test of driver and pit crew ability than technological advancement.

		A kind of hybrid between the purism of open-wheelers and the familiarity of touring car racing, this racing is forever associated (and owes its continued existence) to the annual Le Mans 24 Hours endurance race, one of the oldest motor races still in existence.
		It is this close association with the 'exotic' nature of the cars used that serves as a useful distinction between sports car racing and Touring Cars.
		GT cars are very similar to the FIA GT3 classification, and are 'pure' GT cars; that is production exotic cars with relatively few internal modifications for racing.

		Two cars were entered for the 1953 race, number 33 driven by March Becaurt and Gordon Wilkins and number 34 driven by Maurice Gastonides and Johnny Locket.
