Motor sports, motor games or motor sports competition is a wide term widely used to cover the broad range of competitive sporting activities that involve the use of motor vehicles, both for racing and non-riding competitions. Motor sport generally includes track racing, off-road racing, motocross racing, auto-motorball and dragboctomy, which are all types of off-road motor games. However, these terms can be expanded to include other activities, including mountain cruising, karting, drag racing, supercross racing, touring with a motor vehicle, motorbikes racing, drag racing, surfing, racing games, etc. Most of these terms are used in regular conversation, but they have a slightly different meaning when used in conjunction with one another. In other words, one would not say that motor sports competition is a competition of automobiles, but it is also used as a way of describing a particular type of driving behavior.
Motor sports competition normally refers to an event in which a motor vehicle is driven competitively over a piece of track. Usually, this track is set on grass, with pit stops added periodically to allow the drivers to refresh and repair their vehicles. The track is typically well-defined and consists of many curves and turns. The vehicle is allowed to be driven on its own power over corners, but may be required to be assisted by another car, rider or engine. The aim of the race or the event is to complete the circuit within the time limit and with the minimum amount of accidents or other harmful events. If the racer who wins does not maintain a certain speed over the course of the race, the win will count as a loss, and the racer will be forced out of the event.
Motor sports sometimes includes more than just racing, with some examples of these being motor-boat racing, mountain climbing or motor-bike racing. Motor bike racing is especially popular in countries where there is a strong tradition of motor-bicycle maintenance and safety. Motor sport is often associated with a particular kind of car. For instance, prototypes of upcoming Formula 1 cars are often made available for the public so that racing fans can form opinions about what they would like to see in the final version of such a car.
