filmfrågor där kända motorrullar genom tiderna skulle prickas in
This is one of several games at a party organised by a company for its salesmen.
The other games are more or less normal drawing and guessing activities.
I'm guessing that 'motorrullar' are 'car chases' - in a game where famous car chases from films had to be identified and marked on a chart of some sort, but I'd be grateful for a translation of the whole sentence, please!

motor film
Source term should be: 'motorrulle'
The '-rulle' is probably 'reel' (= a motion picture film reel).
NOTE: One reel = 20 minutes ONLY.

Roadmovie
I've never heard of 'carmovie' unless, within the documentary stile, but there's no other way than 'roadmovie'
