I love these videos... but I wish I knew what was going on! Can you tell us what we're seeing? Are these timed races?

Yes, it is Jeep Sprint competition organized by Moscow Club 4x4 an year ago. There was 3 stages and one more video is from trace preparation.

The general rules of Jeep Sprint was: two cars competes to each other, one starting from the beginning and another from mid of the lap and doing the full lap. So whoes the first stopped on the mark he was started from, he won. The lap is marked with a landmark and stripe, if driver hit the landmark he's disqualified from the race, so you should drive fast but with the good accuracy. The won car going to the next stage until just a winner left.
