Why is a slaloming traffic cones on a parking lot called autocross in the US???
In mý perception anything with ´cross´ in it involves someting unpaved.
Over here in Spain autocross is a pseudonym for rallycross.
How is that UK side?
Autosolo- hard surface, driving around a coned circuit against the clock but all in the forward direction.
Autotest- as above but forward and reverse.
Autocross- more of an off road race in a field with up to four cars competing against each other at a time.
Rallycross- combined surface with man made jumps etc and more modified cars.

So ´cross´= some bit unpaved too.

Unpaved as in on grassland or the remains of grassland after cars have been racing around it. Some are single track, semi rough country lanes. There's a couple of lads on here do them in their 2s, they'd know much more than I do about it.
