Motorcycle sport is a broad field that encompasses all sporting aspects of motorcycling. The disciplines are not all "races" or timed-speed events, as several disciplines test a competitor's various riding skills.
The FIM is the international sanctioning body for motorcycle racing and most nations have their own governing bodies. Other breakaway/independent bodies exist on both a national and an international level.
Motorcycles vary greatly in design for each discipline. Broadly speaking, motorcycle sport can be divided into two categories: tarmac-based road disciplines and off road. Within each of these disciplines, there are usually sub-groups. These may include classic machinery (i.e., non-current to various extents), miniature machinery (e.g., pocketbike racing ), sidecars and quads/ATVs.
Auto racing (also known as automobile racing, autosport, or motorsport) is a sport involving racing automobiles. Auto racing began in France in 1895, and is now one of the world's most popular spectator sports.
