A-mains
Cars will run in all mains except the last main in a class.
All mains will be run starting from the bottom main up to the A-mains last.
Je pensais à "poule" mais j'ai des doutes car apparemment c'est réparti par classement.
Merci pour vos idées, j'ai la tête vide aujourd'hui...

(courses) A-main, B-main, etc.
Voici l'explication:
Main Event - In R/C car racing terms, this refers to the final race of the day in each class you are entered in. See Qualifier, then read the rest of this definition.
Right after all the qualifying races are over, the race computer will sort all the racers, with the 10 fastest racers in the "A Main", the next 10 fastest in the "B Main", and so on. The number of racers in each main may vary, depending on the number of total racers in the class. Each main event is run in order from the "highest" letter to the "lowest". For example, if there are enough racers to make an E Main, the E Main is run first, then the D, the C, the B, the A, etc. The winner of the A Main is the winner for that class.
Large events (National and World Championships) will usually have what are called "Triple A Mains". This is only for the top ten racers in each class, and they will all run three main events. In this case, your two best finishes count towards the final score, so if you win two races in the Triple A Main, you would be crowned the champion. http://cgi.hpi-europe.com/glossary.php?lang=en&letter=M
Et voici un extrait de tout un texte dévoué à la description des courses A-main, etc.:
Les points accumulés le vendredi détermineront ainsi les positions de départ pour les qualifications du samedi, des courses D, C, B et A-MAIN. La grande finale du A-MAIN en sera une de 35 tours, donnant $4000 US au vainqueur. http://www.teambergeron.com/nouvelles.htm

"catégorie" était le sens, mais je devais déjà utiliser ce mot ailleurs dans le texte.
Je choisis la réponse de Yolanda pour les références qui correspondent exactement."

Et si c'était les tours de chauffe ? Mais au sens de l'ordre de départ,
à disputer, donc les "qualifications" (comme en Formule France, Formule 3000, ou Formuyle 1). Je suis sûre qu'un amateur de courses auto saurait nous répondre. En outre, à mon avis, "a main" c'est une piste, un circuit, ce qui explique l'utilisation pour "qualification", puisque c'est le tour de piste le plus rapide qui vous qualifie (par ordre dégressif). Ex.: en formule 1 : Schumacher (M) prend la "pole" (1ere place) au départ de la vraie course devant Schumacher (R), parce que celui-ci n'a fait le 2eme tour le plus rapide en qualif.,derrière son frère. Ceci dit, ça relève de la spéculation instinctive. Y'a bien des passionnés de courses auto sur ProZ, non ?? Moi, je ne m'y connais qu'en formules 3000 et 1 !! Désolée !
