Motor Racing
Betting on motorcycles and racing cars that run at explosive speeds
Even if you don't know what motorsports is, most people will have an image of it when they hear F1 (Formula 1). Motorsports refers to all sports that use engine-equipped vehicles to compete. So, cars and motorcycles are included. Bicycles do not have engines, so keirin and other events are excluded.
The most famous is F1 (Formula 1), which I mentioned earlier, and it is the most popular among bookmakers due to its popularity and the frequency of races. Bookmakers also offer a variety of odds for motorcycle racing, endurance races, and drag races.
Racing cars and motorcycles that run at incredible speeds are hot motorsports, but there are also many ways to enjoy them, such as 24-hour endurance races, where the team's strength and the durability of the vehicles matter, and there are many ways to enjoy them.
Main types of motorsport betting
There are many different types of motorsport betting. They tend to be very popular because there are many races that compete for speed.
- Race Winner
- This is a simple bet on who will win the race.
Predict who will take the crown based on the driver's ability, the performance of the car, and the course's characteristics. - Pole Position
- Pole position is the most advantageous position at the front of a motorsports race. This is a bet to predict who will grab that position.
The driver/rider who has the fastest qualifying time is chosen to take pole position, so it's a popular bet because of the excitement of the word "fastest." - Top 3 Finish
- A bet on whether the driver in question will finish in the top three. In motorsports, the first, second, and third place drivers generally make it onto the podium. That's why it's also called a podium finish.
A safe bet with low risk. - Fastest Lap
- LAP = one lap. This bet is to predict the driver/rider who will complete one lap the fastest. It's interesting that the fastest lap driver doesn't necessarily win the race.
People who bet on motorsports enjoy watching the races to see how fast they are, so this bet is also very popular. - Driver Championship
- This is a bet on which driver will be the champion. The champion is not the race winner, but the driver with the most points at the end of the season.
Winning a race earns you a lot of points, but points are also allocated to other rankings. There are 10 to 20 races in one season.
Points to win in motorsports
If you reach the finish line first, you win. Winning or losing is decided by a simple result, but motorsports, although dynamic in appearance, is a delicate sport with many intertwined factors. Therefore, there are many uncertain factors, and by making a strategy and betting, you can achieve a certain degree of winning.
It can be said that it is a competition to compete on the driver's skills, but it can also be said that it is a competition that cannot be established by the driver alone. Development of the racing machine, changing the settings to suit the conditions on the day, and maintenance. Support from engineers and mechanics are also important factors. It is not uncommon for things outside the race, such as the timing of pit stops and the speed of pit work, to lead to victory or defeat.
Because it is a gamble, it is easy to get excited, but try not to get too excited and try to analyze calmly.
