Objectives
With this work I pretend to learn more about motor sports and make known to others what I
know about it.

Types of Motorsports

• Motoring
• Motorcycling

Motoring
Sport that consists of car races, especially those that are designed to ride at high
speeds. I will leave here some examples with images:

Single-seats races
Single-seat races are often best known for Formula One, the most popular racing
car, with cars designed for high-speed racing. The wheels are not covered, and the
tires have aerodynamic wings for the use of foam on the track.
Single-seater races take place in panels built, or in closed circuits for this purpose.
In portugal some races of formula one were already held in the race track of estoril
in portugal
Rally
Rally is a sport in which runners run to make the best time on regional roads with
pavement or dirt bounded with ribbons or signs for pilots to know where they go.

These two types of motorsports that I showed are the best known and the ones that have
more information but there are some more that I also know as:

 Snow racing;
 Mountain Races;
 Sports Car Racing;
 Stock Car Racing (NASCAR);
 Truck races;
 Drag Racing;
 Classic Car Racing;
 Touring Car Racing;
 Drift Racing;
 Motorcycling
Motorcycle racing (also called moto racing and motorbike racing) is the motorcycle
sport of racing motorcycles. Major genres include motorcycle road racing and off-
road racing, both either on circuits or open courses, and track racing.I will leave
here some examples with images:

Road racing
Road racing is a form of motorcycle racing held on a paved road surfaces. The
races can be held either on a purpose-built closed circuit or on a street circuit
utilizing temporarily closed public roads.
Motocross

Motocross (or MX) is the direct equivalent of road racing, but off-road, a number of
bikes racing on a closed circuit. Motocross circuits are constructed on a variety of
non-tarmac surfaces such as dirt, sand, mud, grass, etc., and tend to incorporate
elevation changes either natural or artificial. Advances in motorcycle technology,
especially suspension, have led to the predominance of circuits with added "jumps"
on which bikes can get airborne. Motocross has another noticeable difference from
road racing, in that starts are done en masse, with the riders alongside each other.

Conclusion
With this work I have achieved my goals.
