==ZX-Class Racing==

Competition takes place in many different classes, each featuring very different types of machines.

−
===Formula Racing===
+
−
Formula Car racing is the premier Auto racing class in Casari. The classes are organized in a fashion to allow a continuous level of improvement from the Motorcycle Engine-based cars raced by local enthusiasts to the top-flight Formula World series that attracts the nation's best drivers.

ZX-Class racing started as an unlimited subgroup of the Class 6 Prototype cars at Touring and Sports Car racing. However, the continuing evolution and number of various forms of these cars that developed quickly made them more expensive than any team was able to support, and the group was soon discontinued. However, to prevent an independent championship from developing to exploit the available machinery, the ZX series was formed independent of the other areas of Casaran Auto Racing. The ZX series continued to evolve, eventually encompassing everything from overpowered and hypermodified street cars of all types to sleeker, custom-built prototypes. In addition, the series maintains one of the more bizarre and eccentric race schedules in the nation, with the cars of the series taking part in events of various lengths and forms, on at multiple surfaces.

===Grand Touring/Touring Cars===

==Touring Car/Rally Racing==
−
A large number of Casarans follow the various local and national Touring Car races, which can range from short 30 or 45 minutes races to 12 or 24 hour endurance races. <br><br>
+
  
−
Prototypes are purpose-built race cars with an open cockpit. Bridging the gap between Formula and Sports cars, they are the centerpiece of many of the Confederation's prestigious races. The Sports Racer classes are slower cars, usually raced by local enthusiasts. While similar in design, they are built out of well-established and reliable technology.
+
Taking place in six specifically defined classes almost every weekend on almost every track in Casari, Touring Car racing is one of the backbones of auto racing in the country. Cars are homologated into each class based on production numbers and performance by CAMRA, which also oversees National and Regional Championships for each type in both Touring Car and Rally formats.<br>

Grand Touring in Casari is organized into three classes, accomidating varying types of sports cars and supercars built in Casari and around the world.

The slowest type of car of the three are the Touring Car classes. Touring cars are 2 door coupes or 4 door sedans intended for road use. Starting with cars built for racing with the appearance of production cars to production cars with various levels of modifications, Touring Cars are the most equally balanced group in Casari. All Touring Car models and modifications are approved by CAMRA in order to allow even competition.

===Rally===
+
−
Rally racing has quickly become one of the fastest-growing segments of Auto-racing in Casari. Taking advantage of some of the rarely used and slightly run-down roads around the nation, Rallies are becoming more popular by the year. Leading rallies are the odd Rally Prototypes, built from the ground up not by the car companies, who want to show off the cars they produce, but my enthusiasts who desire to be fastest. The result is a large number of styles and designs for these slightly unorthodox vehicles. All rally cars other than prototypes are split into various groups based on engine size, mandating a minimum weight to even out competition, and have to be modified to meet standards that manufacturers register with CAMRA in a process known as Homologation

===Sprint Cars===
+
Rallying also takes place under these same classes, however a different set of mandatory safety requirements are necessary for cars entering rally events.
−
Sprint Cars are a particularly unique form of auto racing, with events held on small dirt tracks and paved ovals around the country. The cars are particularly powerful, with some relying on large wings to hold them to the track and are constructed with as few extra components as possible to keep weight down to a minimum. CAMRA has organized classes for cars with 7, 6, and 5 liter engines both with wings and without, along with a wingless 4 liter engine Junior class and a wingless 3 liter engine Midget class. However, CAMRA currently does not organize sprint car races, leaving it to the local tracks and promoters, who are able to use the races to turn a profit and keep tracks in operation for other CAMRA-sanctioned events.

Motorcycle racing is also very popular in Casari, and barely any event weekends take place without both Automobile and Motorcycle racing.

===Track/Road===
+
Motorcycle racing in Casari takes place on both purpose-built and production motorcycles with a number of different displacement levels, starting with 1000cc series for both purpose-built and production models and supporting series with bikes of smaller displacement. Motorcycle series also have organized National and Regional Championships organized by CAMRA.
−
Track or Road Motorcycles are for competitions taking place on closed racetracks. Many are derived from production bikes, while some are special-built for racing.

==Championships==
 +
All races are given a category for the National and various Regional Championship Series for each class of vehicle taking part in the event. Starting with Category 1, which offers the most points, each Category carries less points than the previous, up to the highest, which offers no championship points. Races might be categorized for more than one series, and might also possess a number of bonus points applicable to any championship that the race (and entry which won them) was classified for. A de facto National and Regional Championship series is then made up by the various upper-category races occurring around the country.

Auto Racing in Casari is organized by the Casaran Automobile and Motorcycle Racing Association. Races are held involving a wide variety of cars and motorcycles throughout the region.

ZX-Class Racing

ZX-Class racing started as an unlimited subgroup of the Class 6 Prototype cars at Touring and Sports Car racing. However, the continuing evolution and number of various forms of these cars that developed quickly made them more expensive than any team was able to support, and the group was soon discontinued. However, to prevent an independent championship from developing to exploit the available machinery, the ZX series was formed independent of the other areas of Casaran Auto Racing. The ZX series continued to evolve, eventually encompassing everything from overpowered and hypermodified street cars of all types to sleeker, custom-built prototypes. In addition, the series maintains one of the more bizarre and eccentric race schedules in the nation, with the cars of the series taking part in events of various lengths and forms, on at multiple surfaces.

Touring Car/Rally Racing

Taking place in six specifically defined classes almost every weekend on almost every track in Casari, Touring Car racing is one of the backbones of auto racing in the country. Cars are homologated into each class based on production numbers and performance by CAMRA, which also oversees National and Regional Championships for each type in both Touring Car and Rally formats.

Class Description
Class 1 Series Touring Cars
Class 2 Improved Touring Cars
Class 3 Series Grand Touring Cars
Class 4 Improved Grand Touring Cars
Class 5 Exotics
Class 6 Prototypes

Rallying also takes place under these same classes, however a different set of mandatory safety requirements are necessary for cars entering rally events.

Motorcycles

Motorcycle racing in Casari takes place on both purpose-built and production motorcycles with a number of different displacement levels, starting with 1000cc series for both purpose-built and production models and supporting series with bikes of smaller displacement. Motorcycle series also have organized National and Regional Championships organized by CAMRA.

Championships

All races are given a category for the National and various Regional Championship Series for each class of vehicle taking part in the event. Starting with Category 1, which offers the most points, each Category carries less points than the previous, up to the highest, which offers no championship points. Races might be categorized for more than one series, and might also possess a number of bonus points applicable to any championship that the race (and entry which won them) was classified for. A de facto National and Regional Championship series is then made up by the various upper-category races occurring around the country.
