Before tackling a section, drivers and their bouncer should walk the course taking note of tricky obstacles, the places where the surface might cause wheels to slip, and the steeper slopes where careful application of power or braking is called for.

Sometimes natural obstacle such as large trees will require some extremely careful and accurate manoeuvring. On starting a section the car must be driven continuously forwards; no reversing is allowed. Speed is not relevant as nothing is timed. The only thing that matters is the score. Passing between the pairs of poles the car must be driven with considerable awareness and judgement in order to maintain progress. Touching a pole, sliding backwards, reversing, or coming to a stop ends the run and the score will be the number on the pole ahead of the front axle line.

Spinning the wheels without forward movement is limited to 3 seconds at most events. Because the sections often have parts that are deep in mud, on wet grass, or on very loose surfaces, it is probable that in some cases only a few of the entrants will get right through to the end. Many will eventually find that at some point traction is irretrievably lost and that they must finish their turn on the section. This in itself can sometimes be tricky, especially if stopped on a steep and slippery slope.

For safety reasons passengers may be required to get out of the car and walk off the section while the driver brings the car out. If the car has to be reversed and the slope is very steep a technique for keeping control is to have the engine off and the car in reverse gear.

Usually there will be at least three runs on each section — often two in the morning and another after lunch.

To make things interesting, after the first runs, the Clerk of the Course will have had a look at the scores for each section and if it is clear that most cars are getting through with relative ease some re-arrangement of the gates will be made. Conversely if it looks as if too many entrants are getting caught out in a particular spot the gates may be altered to make it slightly easier. When the runs have been completed the scorecards are handed in and soon after the winners are announced.
