Regularity rally
An event where the aim is to drive as evenly as possible. Deviations from the set target time and the required average speed are scored, usually via at least one secret time control.
In a regularity rally the aim is not top speed but driving a section as evenly as possible at a constant pace. A target time (Sollzeit) and/or a required average speed are set; the deviation from the target time and the measured departures from the average speed are scored. This is checked with at least one, usually secret, time control. The individual scored task within the event is the regularity test (Gleichmässigkeitsprüfung, GLP). Depending on the aids allowed, entries are split into the mechanical Sanduhrklasse and the Elektronik-Klasse.

Average speed
The mean speed prescribed by the organiser, to be maintained as precisely as possible over a section.
Regularity test
A scored test in which a section must be driven at a prescribed, as-constant-as-possible average speed. Consistency is scored – not hitting a single target time as in a time trial.
Time trial (TT)
A scored section where a single prescribed target time must be hit as exactly as possible (abbreviated TT). Unlike a regularity test, the target time counts, not a constant average.
