Picture an autocross course with alot less cones :) The most simplistic gymkhana course is a basic 2 cone figure 8 with a stop box. They's say something like 'loop the first cone 180, loop the 2nd 360 then go to the stop box' So you're goal is to simply do that. Rather than going down a cone infested autocross course, it's much more open to interpretation. It's much more fun than autocross in my opinion Gymkhana is sort of like an autocross but empahsizes alot more style than precision. Picture an autocross course with alot less cones :)
