dunno man.

wiki sez:

AutoSolo in the United Kingdom is a form of Motorsport based around the principles of autotesting, the main differences being that the tests are run in a forward direction only and are usually slightly faster and more open than traditional Autotests. Courses are usually larger than those for Autotesting, and as the courses are laid out to run in one direction, its common for more than 1 car to be on the course at the same time. Autosolos are similar to the popular American motorsport of autocross also known as Solo2.

As with all motorsports in the UK, Autosolos are goverened by the Motor Sports Association (MSA) and regulations for them are listed under 'Part M Autotests 'of the 'Blue Book'.

Cone tracks where you have to go back and forward, then park and so, are bit confusing, imo. That is autocross or autotest, I think.

Then in UK I have seen those slaloms, where track is like a mini rally route, it looks really interesting, too bad we seem not to have much of those here.

Ah yes autosolos are awesome. Much better offroad than on, feels more rally-like.
