Independent motorcycle racing events have been held since the start of the twentieth century and large national events were often given the title Grand Prix.

Competitors use this surface to slide their machines sideways, powersliding or broadsiding into the bends. On the straight sections of the track, the motorcycles reach speeds of up to 70 miles per hour (110 km/h).
