Motorcycle racing (also called racing motto and motorcycle racing ) is a motorcycle racing sport. Major genres include motorbike racing and off-road racing, either on open circuits or courses, and track races. Other categories include hill climbs, drag racing trials and ground speed trials.

Kategori
The FIM classifies motor racing in the following four major categories. Each category has several sub-categories.
Car racing
Road racing is a motorcycle racing sport on a hard surface that resembles a road, usually paved with asphalt. Racing can be performed either on specially built racing circuits or on closed public roads. Traditional street racing
Traditional street racing
Historically, "street racing" meant courses on public covered streets. It was formerly ordinary but today only a few such circuits survive, mostly in Europe. The race takes place on public streets that are temporarily closed to the public by legal orders from local legislatures. There are two championships, the first being the International Road Racing Championship, the other being Duke Road Racing Rankings. Last account for most of the road races that occur each season, with awards for the highest placed riders. Leading road races include the Isle of Man TT, the North West 200, and the Ulster Grand Prix on the long circuit. Ireland has many racing tracks still in use. Other countries with road race are the Netherlands, Spain, Belgium, Germany, England (Mount Oliver), Czech Republic, Ukraine, New Zealand and Macau.
Motorcycle Grand Prix
Grand Prix motor racing refers to the main categories of street motor racing. It is divided into three different classes:
- Moto3: Introduced in 2012, the motorcycle in this class is 250cc with a four-stroke single-cylinder engine. It previously featured a 125Ã, cc two-stroke motorcycle. This class is also limited by the age of the rider, with an upper limit of 25 for new racers and wild card entries and an absolute upper limit of 28 for all riders.
- Moto2: Introduced by Dorna Sports, the commercial rights holder of the competition, in 2010 as a four-stroke 600 cc class. Before that season, the middle class was 250 cc with a two-stroke engine. Moto2 races in the 2010 season allow both types of engines; starting in 2011, only a four-stroke Moto2 engine is allowed.
- MotoGP: is the current term for the highest class of GP racing. The class is opposed by a prototype machine with various displacements and machine types for years. Initially contested by a massive four-stroke moving machine in the early years it eventually switched to 500 cc two strokes. In 2002, a 990 cc four-stroke motor was allowed to compete with 500 cc two punches and then completely replace them in 2003. 2007 saw the decline to an 800 cc four-stroke engine did not manage to slow things down a bit before finally settling on a 1000 cc four stroke on 2012.
Motor Grand Prix is ​​a prototype machine that is not based on any production motorcycle.
Superbike Racing
Superbike racing is a motorcycle racing category that uses modified production bikes. Superbike racing motorcycles must have four engines driving between 800Ã,Â,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,- Motorcycles should maintain the same profile with their traveling companions. The overall appearance, visible from the front, rear and sides, should fit the homologated bike for use on public roads even though the mechanical elements of the machine have been modified.
Supersport Racing
Supersport racing is another category of motorcycle racing that uses modified production bikes. In order to qualify for Supersport racing, the motorcycle must have a four-stroke engine between 400 and 600 cc for four-cylinder engines, and between 600 and 750 cc for twins, and must meet FIM homologation requirements. Supersport rules are much stricter than Superbikes. Supersport engines should remain largely as standard, while machine setting is possible but strictly regulated.
Endurance race
Endurance race is a motorcycle racing category that is intended to test the durability of equipment and durability of the rider. Teams consisting of multiple riders try to travel long distances in one event. The team is given the ability to change racers during the race. The endurance race can be run either to cover the set distance on the lap as quickly as possible, or to cover the distance as far as possible during the set time. The reliability of a motorcycle used for endurance racing is essential.
S-sashes
Motorcycle Racing is a category of motorcycle racing sidecar. Older street riders generally resemble a solo motorcycle with an attached platform; Modern racing sidecars are purpose built low and long vehicles. Sidecarcross resembles a MX motorcycle with a high platform mounted. On the sidecar, riders and passenger riders work together to make the machine work optimally; the way in which passengers shift their load across the sidecars is crucial for their performance around the corner.
Sidecar racing has many sub-categories including:
- Sidecarcross (motocross sidecar)
- Sidecar experiment
- F1/F2 road racing
- Historic (classic) street racing
Motocross
Motocross (or MX) is a direct equivalent to road racing, but off-road, a number of racing bikes on closed circuits. Motocross Circuits are built on various non-tarmac surfaces such as dirt, sand, mud, grass, etc., and tend to incorporate either natural or artificial elevation changes. The advancement of motorcycle technology, especially suspension, has led to the dominance of the circuit by adding a "jump" in which the bike can get air. Motocross has another striking difference from street racing, which begins in mass, with riders side by side with each other. Up to 40 riders are heading for the first corner, and sometimes there are separate awards for the first racer (see holeshot). The winner is the first rider at the finish line, usually after a certain amount of time or lap or combination.
Motocross has a large number of classes based on engine displacement (ranging from 2cc stroke 2 to 50cc to 250cc two-stroke and 450cc four-stroke engines), competitor age, competitor's ability, sidecar, quadriceps/ATV, and machine age (classic for pre- 1965/67, Twinshock for bicycles with two shock absorbers, etc.).
Supercross
Supercross (or SX) is just a motocross in the room. Supercross is more technical and rhythmic like a rider. Usually located in various stadiums and open or closed arena, it is famous for its many leaps. In North America, this has turned into a very popular spectator sport, filling large baseball, football, and soccer stadiums, leading to Motocross now called "outside". However, in Europe this sport is less popular, because the main focus is on Motocross.
Supermoto
Supermoto is a racing category that is a crossover between street racing and motocross. Motorcycles are primarily motocross types with street racing tires. Horse racing is a mix between road and dirt (in different proportions) and can occur either in closed circuits or in temporary places (such as urban locations).
The riding style on the tarmac is noticeably different from other tarmac-based racing forms, with different lines to the corners, slide the rear wheels around the bend, and use the foot directly into the corner (as opposed to the real touching knees bent into the asphalt road racer).
Enduro and cross country
Enduro
Enduro is a form of off-road motorcycle sport that mainly focuses on the competitor's endurance. In the most traditional sense ("Time Card Enduros"), competitors complete the 10-mile lap, which is dominated off-road, often through forestry. Lap consists of different stages, each with a target time to finish that stage appropriately, there is a punishment for beginning and ending, so the goal is precisely "on time". Some stages are intentionally "tight", others are weak that allow competitors to recuperate. There are also various special tests, in various fields for further aid classification, this is the stage of speed at which the fastest time is desired. Normal events last for 3 to 4 hours, although longer events are not uncommon. Some events, especially national and world championship events take place over several days and require maintenance work to be done within a limited time frame or during a walking race. To prevent the cessation of treatment restrictions, motorcycles are stored overnight in secure storage.
There is a World Enduro Championship (WEC) that has events across Europe, with multiple visits to North America. The most important event in the Enduro calendar is the International Six Days Enduro (formerly the International Six Days Trial), where countries enter the riders' teams (ie the Enduro World Cup), as well as club teams - the event combines amateur sports with professional-level sports, also occurs in much more geographically dispersed locations.
In addition to the traditional Enduro Time Cards held over a long period of time, various other sporting forms have been taken; especially the Short Course Enduros, which is shorter (in length) from Time Card Enduros Hare scrambles and "Hare and Hounds".
Hare Scramble
Hare scramble is the name given to a special form of off-road motor racing. Traditionally, fighting the mouse deer can vary in length and time with contestants completing several rounds around a course marked through forest or other rough natural terrain. The overall winner is the contestant who maintained the highest speed throughout the event. In Florida, Hare scrambles to start the race in staggered sequence. Once in the field, the object of the competitors is to complete the circuit as quickly as possible. The race consists of a forest area or an open field.
Cross country rally
Cross-country rally events (also called Rallye Raid or just Rallye , alternative spell Rally ) are much larger than enduros. Usually using larger bikes than any other off-road sport, this event lasts for several days, walking hundreds of miles across the normally open off-road terrain. The most notable example is the Dakar Rally, which previously traveled from Western Europe (often Paris) to Dakar in Senegal, through the Sahara desert, took nearly two weeks. Since 2009 the Dakar Rally has been held in South America traveling through Peru, Argentina, and Chile. Rare Cross-Country Rare World Championships also exist that cover many events around the world, usually in desert countries. These events often go hand in hand with the "car" rallies (under the FIA).
Track race
The race track is a form of motorcycle racing where a team or individual races an opponent around an oval track. There are different variants, with each variant competing on different surface types.
Indoor short song and TT Racing
Indoor races consist of: polished concrete floors with coke syrup, or other media sprayed or on top of concrete for traction for motorcycle tires, or on damped soils and hard packing, or left loose (often called pillows). Similar to Arenacross Arenas size or sometimes smaller riders should have accurate throttle controls to negotiate this tight Indoor Racing Track.
In the US, flat path events are held on open air stretching, ranging from a mile to a half mile, short lane, and TT. All are usually held outdoors, although some short events are held in indoor stadiums. Short Trajectory is a path involving a path less than 1 / 2 a mile, while a TT event may be long, but must have at least one right turn and at least one leap to escape.
At A.M.A. The Grand National Championships, miles, half-miles, short-track and TT races are part of a specific discipline labeled "Dirt track" or sometimes "Flat track" (also called Flat Track). But the rules of the AMA Sanctions rule refers to this discipline as a Dirt racing track. Whether a mile, a half mile, a short-track or a TT, attraction is what defines a dirt racing track. Bicycles can not use "knobbies", they have to use a "Class C" tire that is similar to a road tire. At a distance of miles, a half mile, short lane, oval track, all just turning to the left, and only the rear brakes are allowed. On the TT course, there should be at least one right-hand turn with optional jumps, front and rear brakes allowed, but the same "Class C" tires are required.
Although not mandated, most flat track racers wear steel "shoes" on the left boot which is actually the only fitting steel that binds to the left of the boot. This steel shoe allows the rider to glide more easily and safely on the left leg when needed as they lean the bike to the left as it slides past the bend, though the rider can often do what's known as a "slide up", using throttle control, lean body and rudder itself to power-slides through bends, without sliding on their steel boots.
Hard-packed tracks are generally referred to as "groove" tracks, loose tracks called "cushions". The surface composition of the track is usually determined by the race promoter and the track preparation team, the latter using various methods and materials including clay combinations, decomposed granite, sand, calcium (to allow surfaces to retain moisture) and other materials. The optimal "groove" track will have enough moisture to be "tacky", without slippery, and will develop what is called a "blue groove" when a motorcycle tire puts a thin layer of rubber tires on the racecourse.
The "cushion" tracks consist of similar materials to the path of the groove, but are mixed in a way that allows the surface to retain a more sandy and loose composition. While power-sliding is common in both groove and cushion pads, the track cushion allows more power-shear, to, through and out of the bend. Although the "Class C" tires are permitted by the same rules for cushion pads and grooves, the rider is allowed to modify the tires by cutting some rubber from the tire groove to increase the traction, but it is not allowed to add material to the tire..
Speedway
Speedway racing takes place on a flat, oval track that usually consists of loose dirt or loose, using a bike with one tooth and without brakes. Competitors use this surface to shift their engines sideways (powersliding or broadsliding) to the bend using the rear wheels to scrub-off the speed while still providing the drive to turn on the front motor and around the bend.
Grasstrack
Grasstrack is an outdoor speedway. The track is longer (400 m, so it is often referred to as Long Track at the world level), often on the grass (though other surfaces exist) and even displays elevation changes. The engine is very similar to a fast motorcycle (still without brakes, but usually two gears, rear suspension, etc.).
Ice speedway
Ice races include a motorcycle class that is equivalent to Speedway on ice. The bicycle race counterclockwise around the oval track between 260 and 425 meters in length. Nails or metal tire screws are often allowed to increase traction. The structure and rating of races are similar to Speedway.
Board track
Racing is a popular racing type in the United States between the second and third decades of the 20th century, where the competition takes place on oval racing courses with surfaces composed of wooden planks. In the early 1930s, racing board trajectory was no longer favored, and eventually became obsolete.
Auto Racing
Auto Racing is the Japanese version of track racing held on the pavement field and is seen as a sport of gambling.
Other categories
Drag race/sprint
Drag races or sprints are the races where two participants line up with a dragstrip with a marked starting line. Once the signal starts, the rider speeds up the straight track, along a long quarter of a mile at which time and terminal speed they have recorded. The rider to reach the finish line first is the winner. This can happen in specially built places (eg, Santa Pod), temporary places (eg, runways or country house drives). In addition to "ordinary" motorcycles, top fuel motorcycles using Nitrous Oxide also compete in this category.
UK Sprinting
The British National Sprint Association was formed in 1958. President Donald Campbell until his death in 1967, was replaced by former employee Vincent and record-holder sprint George Brown, who retired from sports in 1966 when he reached the age limit of 55 years for the ACU. licensing competition. Brown engines include Vincent's twin Vincent, usually-sucked Nero, and supercharged Super Nero versions.
Sprinting occurs on unused and redesigned airstrips, and in some promenades at sea, generally with a set of timing equipment, for / 4 -mile, although some use 1 / 8 -mile, as is still happening at Ramsey's waterfront as part of Ramsey Sprint, additional attractions during the Isle of Man TT and Manx Grand Prix events. The Santa Pod Raceway was the first permanent line of attraction established in England and Europe in 1966. Writing in his 1970 book, Peter Carrick states:
Although basically the same, running fast and competing has a fundamental difference. Sprinting is a race against time, even if other competitors take part at the same time. Drag races are more of a contest, often between multiple riders.
Where time is just one way, any record can be considered a strip-only, as for official recognition of world and national records, two qualifying rounds must be completed in the opposite direction within an hour, to negate the effect of the wind. , with the average time generated.
Writing in 1974, Hill climb
On a hill climb, a sole rider climbs or tries to climb the hill in the fastest time or farthest up the hill before stopping to move forward. Tarmac events are usually on closed public roads and private roads. The same concept is also used off-tarmac, usually on steeper hills.
Landfeed race
In Landspeed motorcycle racing, the racer tries to beat the fastest speed ever achieved by motorcycle style and engine type for the duration. The flagship event for LSR motorcycles is the International Bicycle Speed ​​Trial by BUB, held at Bonneville Salt Flats every year (near Labor Day). Motorcycles are classified by body style, ie how many alignments are put together. They are further classified by machine size in cubic centimeters (cc) and by type of fuel (gasoline versus modified fuel).
Vintage
In the classic race of classic motorcycle riders who are no longer competitive with the latest production bikes. Classes are organized based on production period and engine displacement. There is a vintage event for almost any type of racing listed above, motocross vintage and street racing are very popular. Equipment is limited to those available for the production period, although modern safety equipment and tires are permitted. Most of the vintage production period dates from the 1970s and earlier, but now the 1980 motorbikes were allowed into some events, although this has faced some opposition from traditionalists. Generally motorcycles must be at least 25 years old to be considered ancient.
The supportive body for most US vintage races is the American Motorcyclist Association. The main organizations that sponsor vintage racing are the American Historic Racing Motorcycle Association (AHRMA), BikeBandit and WERA Motorcycle Roadracing, which have several vintage classes along with modern racers. The importance of history is the United States Classical Racing Association (USCRA) one of the oldest vintage racing clubs in the US. In Britain, the main organization is The British Historic Racing Club (BHRC), a branch of the Vintage motorcycle club, and Classic Motorcycle Racing Club (CRMRC). CRMC was formed about thirty years ago when the BHRC was slow to enter new machines in the 25-year rule and to handle the first Japanese machine that reached that age. Currently BHRC serves engines from Europe and America made until the mid-eighties while CRMC allows the same era and some but not all Japanese machines.
Super Hooligan
Hooligans racing has been around since the 1970s when the fans who followed the flat track race started racing their private bikes during the event's intermission. Often these bikes are just bikes driven by fans to an event that is also known as the "run away what you control" race. What is now known as "Super Hooligans" came out of Harley night at the Costa Mesa Speedway in Southern California. The Southern California motorcycle culture developed around the idea of ​​this great Twin V motor racing. The Super Hooligan race has been a side entertainment at a number of shows from bike shows such as Handbuilt in Austin, The One Show in Portland to Superprestigio of the Americas in Las Vegas in 2016, to a flat track race held jointly with MotoGP at the Circuit of the Americas. In 2017 Super Hooligan becomes the official race series with 10 races on the calendar for that year from February to October.
