Summarize this article for a 10 year old
In the United States, autocross is an individual motorsport in which drivers compete to set the fastest time on a temporary course. It differs from autocross in the rest of the world as events are usually held on large paved areas, such as parking lots or airfields compared to grass or dirt surfaces used elsewhere. Courses consist of turns, offsets, and slaloms marked by traffic cones; new courses are typically created for each event. In the rest of the world these types of events are known as autotests, autoslaloms or gymkhanas.
