Racing since 1900s. Motorcycle racing started in the early 1900s when big national events were called Grand Prix races, making it one of the oldest motorsport championships ever.

Global governing body. The FIM (Fédération Internationale de Motocyclisme) was created in 1949 to make fair rules for all motorcycle racing around the world so different countries could compete fairly.

Official world championship. Grand Prix racing became the first official motorcycle world championship, and it still holds that honor today as the most prestigious motorcycle racing series.

Road circuits rule. These races happen on closed road courses that are specially sanctioned and designed to be safe for racing motorcycles at incredibly high speeds.
