If you are already a fan, then you likely already know the type of racing that you prefer. You can do that. We suggest that you investigate all the types of racing before you decide to marry yourself. Once you’ve seen all the options, you won’t be able to decide which kind of racing is right for your taste.
Drag races and off-road races are two of the more dangerous types. These drivers can pull off all sorts of insane tricks. Not always who finishes first is the most important thing. Sometimes, it’s just about who finishes. The fact that cars aren’t designed to be driven by you means they can be dangerous. These racers love speed and adrenaline. They love the thrill and winning.
Off-Road Racing
This type of racing is generally not sponsored. It’s not as though there are large companies paying people to win offroad races. These races are held at all sorts of places and in different road conditions. Many of them take place on dirt or sand.
Racers and their friends design insane tracks to race and see who can win the race. Some of these races require more tricks than speed. They produce race car parts. Sometimes, you might see people racing off-road in dirt bikes or ATVs. There are no rules except those established by racers.
Monster Truck
Cable TV has probably shown you a monster truck race. These races usually travel around the U.S. to show off their enormous trucks and insane tracks. They don’t race to get from A to B. Sponsors pay to build crazy indoor tracks so that monster trucks can compete.
They will need to negotiate huge dirt piles or perform other crazy feats. It’s more about endurance than speed. These courses take place in smaller venues. They only sell tickets and have a purpose – to entertain their guests, not to win anything.
Be aware that these aren’t races at all, they’re just entertainment. Many of the monster trucks are intimidating and designed to take down the competition.
Touring Car Races
These races are similar in nature to those that involve production cars. They don’t feature the multimillion-dollar vehicles you see at Formula racing. These cars are custom-built by different auto manufacturers to suit racers’ needs. They race on special tracks. This is in contrast to the circular or oval tracks most professionals use for auto racing.
These races take part in different parts of the world. They don’t race on closed tracks. Instead, you might need to race through mountains or farmland. It all depends on what tour you are on. It’s easy to see how touring racing drivers must complete a tour.
They have a starting place and a finishing line. However, they are not straight. Most courses feature sharp, hairpin turning to test the drivers’ speed and their handling skills. These races can prove to be as dangerous or more dangerous than other types. There is no pit crew to rescue drivers in trouble. Sometimes you don’t even know what the racers do. You may not even know who’s going to win or who was left behind until they get near the finish line.
Production Car Racing
We’ve already spoken about a few types of races that involve production cars. This is production vehicle racing. Companies such as Audi and Porsche have put their best foot forwards to see who’s the best. These cars aren’t modified in any way. The car should be as it was when it came off the production line.
