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 Trial
A scored test in which a section must be driven at a prescribed, as-constant-as-possible average speed. Regularity is scored – not hitting a single target time as in the Zeit-/Sollzeitprüfung.
Time Trial (TT)
A scored section where a single prescribed target time must be hit as exactly as possible (abbr. ZP); identical to the Sollzeitprüfung (SZP). Unlike the GLP, the target time counts, not a constant average.
Target-time test
A scored task in which a section must be driven in an exactly prescribed target time; the deviation is scored (abbr. SZP). Identical to the Zeitprüfung (ZP). Unlike the GLP, the single target time counts, not a constant average.
