On-road racing is a motorsport that takes place on paved surfaces, such as streets or racetracks. This type of racing can include various formats, such as Formula 1, NASCAR, and touring car racing. Competitors race against each other to achieve the fastest lap times or complete a set number of laps. Vehicles used in on-road racing are typically high-performance cars designed for speed and handling. Races can vary in length and complexity, with some events lasting just a few minutes while others may extend for several hours. Safety measures, including barriers and medical teams, are essential to protect drivers and spectators.
