In its simplest form, Car Meets can be described as gatherings of car enthusiasts and street racers, for the sole purpose of making their passions known to the public. This can often mean something like a large abandoned parking lot, a large place where they specifically asked permission, or other places known to be suitable for car enthusiasts where they are welcome. While some car meetings may involve street racing, many meetings may recommend not driving at all during meetings. This usually serves to prevent the attention of local law enforcement, as meetings can easily attract attention. Track timing equipment is switched off and vehicle performance information is only displayed to monitoring staff to enforce safety rules. Often, even the rider does not know his elapsed time or final speed until the driver receives the official timesheet at the end of the race. These races usually have cars that are loosely divided into one or more classes depending on the types of modifications they have, and are driven in a traditional head-up drag race eliminator format (no handicap) until the winner is determined. Legal amateur races are possible in some places. For example, the Autódromo José Carlos Pace, site of the Formula 1 Brazilian Grand Prix, regularly hosts amateur races with the appropriate infrastructure. Some circuits have events such as track days or drag races with cars divided into categories based on performance. [12] The lack of race tracks (especially outside Athens) and the massive popularity of cars and motorcycles are the main reasons why road racing is so popular. [ref. needed] Road racers, naturally known as hashiriya (走り屋),[23] often drive their cars on highways and highways, where they are known as the Battle of Kōsoku or commonly known as roulette-zoku, as they move in circular motions[23] and frequently appear on the Shuto Expressway in Tokyo.

Japanese runners have also popularized racing on the narrow, winding roads of the country`s mountains, known as Touge (depicted in the manga/anime series Initial D). The highway racing scene is depicted in the manga Wangan Midnight as well as in the Shuto Kousoku Trial film series. Road racing has been a subculture of Greece since the 1970s. Road racing became more organized in the 1980s and gained public recognition in the 2000s thanks to magazines such as Max Power. The most popular places are Poseidonos Avenue, Vouliagmenis Avenue, Limanakia in Varkiza, Schisto in Keratsini and Kryfi in Marathonas, all located in Attica. Other cities or regions like Thessaloniki also have a large street racing subculture, but not to the same extent as Athens due to its population. Brake, clear and rear tire levels are handicaps that can be offered individually or together in road races, but are also compatible when this type of race takes place on a sanctioned track, since sanctioned tracks do not always have the opportunity to offer other types of disabilities to road racers who wish to organize a road race on the sanctioned track. The popular cross-platform series (PlayStation 2, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Xbox, PSP, GameCube) features fictional cars that accelerate through high-speed traffic, with accidents rewarded with highly detailed slow-motion destruction sequences. Later iterations include specific competitive modes that reward the most monetary damage in specially designed maps.

A standard drag race between two road-legal vehicles to be the first to cross a defined finish line. The race follows a short, straight course from a standing start over a measured distance, most often 1⁄4 mi (1,320 ft; 402 m), with a shorter distance (1,000 feet; 305 m) becoming increasingly popular as it has become the standard for higher-fuel dragsters and fun cars. where some major bracket races and other sanctioning bodies have adopted it as standard. The 1⁄8 mi (660 ft; 201 m) is also popular in some circles, often with forbidden slicks dictating DOT spec tires on the drag track. Touge races, sometimes called battles, are usually played at night between 2 cars in „cat and mouse“ or initial rules D. A series of games are played with a head start and a pursuer, starting either side-by-side or bumper-to-bumper at the starting point. If the leading driver manages to create a noticeable gap (also known as a shooting gap) between his car and the chaser to the finish line, he is determined as the winner of the game. If the pursuer manages to stay behind his opponent or pass the leading driver to cross the finish line first, he wins the match instead.

In the second game, the next driver takes the front seat and the winner is determined using the same method. When each driver wins a game, there is sometimes a sudden death match by lottery to determine the leading position. Sometimes sudden death matches are used when there is not enough time to complete 2 more games, or when a driver claims that his equipment cannot withstand the rigors of another round. Whoever wins a sudden death match wins the race.
