In [[off-road racing]], various classes of specially modified vehicles, including cars, compete in races through off-road environments. In North America these races often take place in the [[desert]], such as the famous [[Baja 1000]]. Another format for off-road racing happens on closed-course [[Short course off-road racing|short course tracks]] such as [[Crandon International Off-Road Raceway]]. In the 1980s and 1990s, the short course was extended to racing inside stadiums in the [[Mickey Thompson Entertainment Group]]; this format was revived by [[Robby Gordon]] in 2013 with his [[Stadium Super Trucks]] series.

In Europe, "offroad" refers to events such as autocross or rallycross, while desert races and rally-raids such as the [[Paris-Dakar Rally|Paris-Dakar]], Master Rallye or European "bajas" are called "cross-country rallies".
