Figure 8 racing

Figure 8 racing is a unique form of motorsport that requires strict attention to detail and timing to successfully navigate the crossover.

In Canada, figure 8 racing often takes place as a part of demolition derby events.

Boundary lines are marked to form a figure 8 track, and barriers are installed to protect light poles (if necessary), recovery vehicles, and the safety car.

Figure 8 track racing began right after World War II, in the late 1940s.

School buses have become popular, especially at county fairs, because of their extended exposure for crashes.
