Road racing is organised through national motorsport federations affiliated to the FIM (Fédération Internationale de Motocyclisme). To race you will normally need to:

  • Complete an approved novice or ACU-style race-licence course, or the equivalent required by your national federation, and pass a medical
  • Get a competition licence and meet the technical regulations for your class (safety wiring, catch tanks, noise limits, approved leathers and helmet, back protector)
  • Pass scrutineering at every event and attend every riders' briefing
  • Learn the sporting regulations: start procedures, track limits, penalties and flag rules (stricter than at track days)

Start in a club championship on a small, affordable bike. Racecraft is learned in close racing, not just from fast laps.

Safety note: This course explains widely taught riding technique. It does not replace hands-on training from a qualified instructor, a valid licence, or your bike's owner's manual. Practise new skills in a safe, open area first and ride within the law and your limits.
