Grand Touring/Touring Cars

Cars in the Touring and Grand Touring classes range from 4-door sedans and 2-door coupes, to sports cars of various designs, to the specially designed sport racer classes and finally the large, powerful prototype classes which are nearly as fast as the top Formula Cars.

Rally

Rally racing in Casari 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, Rally Cars and divided based on their size and their power is regulated to make competition as even as possible.

Sprint Cars

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, 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.
