Climbing Racing in Turkey
Rally cross and climbing racing are short-term
racings organized mostly under a lower budget in 3 categories, and
are mainly suitable to amateurs where the driver is not assisted
by a co-pilot. In addition to the homologated automobiles that are
qualified for these kind of rallies, the old racing cars of which
homologations have expired are also qualified for taking part in
such racing contests within Category 3 in accordance with the regulations
pertaining to Group H.
TURKEY CLIMBING CHAMPIONSHIP
The climbing racings are organizations carried
out on asphalt covered racing tracks of which the overall length
is at least 10 km, the difference in the elevation between the start
and the finish line is 200m or 5% grade and where the automobiles
take start in 2-minute sequences in racing against time. 2 different
start lines are placed in the courses shorter than 10 km. Prior
to the start of the contest, along with a time recording system,
a formal training start is allowed. The contestant that performed
within the shortest time gets to be selected as the first one within
its category.
