Road racing is divided into different levels, with the most competitive being MotoGP. There are also different series of road racing organized by the SCCA. This includes Vintage Racing, Club Race Experience, Regional Road Racing, and Drivers School.
Time trials are a race against time. The winner is usually awarded points, based on how fast he or she completes a lap. You can do it individually or with a team. It is usually shorter than regular races. There are many variations on this race, including team time trial events, single day races, and stage races.
Sling racing involves half of the racers going around the track, and the other half running in sprints. This format was popularized in 1900. The race can be used in sling racing or in the "miss-and-out" format where the last rider is eliminated from each lap.
Stage racing is a series that includes a number stages over a few days. Some stages also include a trial. Riders have the chance to shine on these stages. There is also a time-credit system, where the winner of each stage receives a time credit for their win.
Road races can either be held on closed roads, closed street circuits or open roads. There are also road rallies, which are held on public roads. Road rallies aren't about speed. They are all focused on precision.
