Autorace is predominantly a gambling sport. Competitions are held on tarmac tracks, and usually 8 riders and for 6 laps. The riders lean into the corners rather than slide as in conventional Speedway, The bike is 599㏄ and has a 2 speed gearbox. As in Speedway, the bikes have no brakes and are designed with the left handlebar higher than the right to help maintain stability while leaning in the corners. The Hot Shoe is custom made for each rider.
