Long track motorcycle racing

Longtrack racing is an umbrella term for events using long track machinery, similar to that used in speedway but with a longer wheelbase and a two-speed gearbox.

Long track meetings are also held in Australia (for both Solos and Sidecars with both state and national championships), New Zealand and the United States with the higher profile Australian and New Zealand Long track Grand Prix's often attracting the top riders from Europe.

Due to the lack of genuine Long Track speedways in those countries outside of Europe, meetings generally take place at ½ Mile (800 m) Harness Racing or Showground venues.

Whilst there are no leagues in longtrack, there are many lucrative open meetings which offer a means of additional income.

Riders then must compete in Qualifying rounds and hotly contested Semi Finals before reaching the World Longtrack series proper.
