Grasstrack Racing - A hidden gem in UK motorsport

Grasstrack racing is one of the oldest types of motorcycle sports in the UK with the first meetings having taken place in the 1920s. It is similar to Speedway with races usually taking place over 4 laps from a standing start. Unlike Speedway, which has 4 riders per race, Grasstrack racing can have many riders in each heat and the circuit is normally longer allowing higher speeds. Grasstrack has three solo classes, 250 cc, 350 cc and 500 cc together with three sidecar classes; left-handed 500 cc and 1000 cc (turning left) and right-handed 1000 cc (turning right). #motorcycle #grasstrack #motorcycle
