  Motorcycle speedway - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Motorcycle speedway, or more often just Speedway is a motor racing sport that uses specially made motorcycles that have no brakes, run on methanol, use only one gear and must weigh a minimum of 80 kg.
The Speedway World Cup event is also held each year, featuring teams from the major speedway countries, usually in a series of meetings over the space of a week in the summer.
