Speedway motorcycle racing offers a different type of motorcycling. Instead of the typical track where riders are assigned to their starting positions, the tracks use a grid in which riders are sorted by colors. Red riders start at Gate 1, blue riders at Gate 2, and white riders starting from Gate 3. White riders begin from Gate 3, while yellow/black riders begin at the fourth gate.
Racer's minimalism
Speedway motorcycles have a single speed and very few electrics. They are light and weigh less than 1 quart. These bikes don't come with brakes, starters, rear suspension, or steering, unlike traditional street bikes.
Start tape mechanism
The start tape mechanism is a mechanical device to launch motorcycle races. The mechanism includes two or more tapes at the start. For the race to start, riders must be on track at the beginning time. This is normally fifteen metres before race start. Team reserves will replace those who aren't there.
Scoring system
Speedway motorcycle racing involves two or more riders racing on an oval circuit. The riders start in the exact same position but their motorcycles differ. The riders must take their starting positions in the grid, and are identified by color. Red riders begin at gate 1, while blue riders start at gate 2. The riders then race around a circuit for four laps.
Speedway motorcycles
Speedway motorcycle racing is a form of motorcycle racing, which is quite similar to auto racing. The bikes have high-speed gearing that allows them to accelerate to high speeds. These bikes have no brakes or lower gears and no suspension. The best start is often the winner of the race.
Track layouts
FIM Track Racing Technical Rules govern speedway bike racing. The bikes are typically upright but professional riders are choosing laydown versions. These are more stable and easier for them to handle. Most speedway bikes don't come with brakes and only have one gear. Motorcycles should not weigh more than 77 kg. Speedway motorcycles cannot have a clutch. However, they have rear wheel sprockets which adjust the gear ratio.
Rules
There are several speedway motorcycle racing rules that can help ensure the safety of riders and spectators. Referees ensure that riders have enough time to prepare prior to the race. Drivers who have been injured in an accident will not be allowed to stage.
