Difference between revisions of "Track racing"

Grasstrack (also known as Grasbahn)  racing takes place on a flat oval track usually constructed in a [[Field (agriculture)|field]]. It is similar to Speedway with races usually taking place over 4 laps from a standing start. Unlike Speedway, which has 4 riders per race, Grasstrack racing can have many riders in each heat and the circuit is normally longer, allowing higher speeds. The motorcycles are also different in that they have the addition of two gears, rear [[Suspension (motorcycle)|suspension]] and are larger in length overall. Like Speedway, the sport uses bikes with no brakes except in the UK, where brakes are required under ACU rules.
