road racing
Asphalt speed contests
Road racing is competitive racing on public roads or courses that simulate them, rather than on purpose-built tracks.
The term applies to both motorsports—cars and motorcycles navigating circuits through towns or countryside—and to running and cycling events held on paved streets: She trained for months before her first road race.
Road racing courses feature varied terrain and conditions that closed tracks don't offer.
