Solo II
Solo II is simple: you try to drive your car through a pylon course as quickly as you can without losing control or knocking over any pylons.
Since not all cars were created equal (some corner well, some accelerate well) this is more of a test of the driver against the clock than it is driver against driver. On the other hand, it wouldn't be much fun if each driver was only ever competing against themselves so a the WCMA has introduced a point system to try and make it more of a challenge.
All cars have been placed in classes depending on certain things such as their age, horsepower, weight, still in stock condition, blah, blah, blah. This does balance out the classes a little but there are still cases where one car will be better than the next. Even small differences can mean several seconds on the course. One example would be brand new tires versus old tires.
Normally each driver gets three timed attempts at the course. All times are recorded and are available for each competitor to look at.
