Handicap Racing

Handicap racing is a method used in motorsports and other racing events to equalize competition among participants of varying skill levels or vehicle performance. By assigning different starting points, time adjustments, or weight penalties, the goal is to create a more level playing field. For example, a faster driver may start from further behind, or a car with superior specifications might carry extra weight. This system encourages closer competition and allows racers of different abilities or vehicle types to compete more fairly, emphasizing skill and strategy over outright speed.
