Motorsport

Racing, wheelspins, petrol fumes…all the guts and glory of motorsports provide great spectator entertainment as well as endless online betting opportunities. Motorsport encompasses a number of competitive sporting events that use motorised vehicles.

The Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA) is the global governor of all four- (or more) wheeled motorsport competitions, the Fédération Internationale de Motocyclisme (FIM) governs all two-wheeled competitions, while the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale (FAI) governs air sports including aeroplane racing.

Motorsports include everything from quarter-mile drag racing to 24-hour endurance racing. Here’s a look at some of the biggest racing series currently:

• FIA World Endurance Championship
• FIA Formula One World Championship
• IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship
• NASCAR Sprint Cup Series
• Verizon IndyCar Series
• NHRA drag racing
• FIA Formula E Championship
• Red Bull Global Rallycross
• Formula Drift
• Pirelli World Challenge

Formula 1 (F1) Betting

One of the biggest events in motorsport racing, F1 has massive entertainment value and attracts a lot of betting interest. You can pick the driver who will win the F1 championship overall, narrowing down the list of drivers by looking at elements such as previous performance and preferred terrain.

Grand Prix Betting

Where the F1 runs over an extended period of time, Grand Prix betting allows you to bet on the winner of a single race at a time, rather than the championship winner. Once again, driver performance, the terrain, weather conditions and any other elements should be considered when placing a bet.

Motorsport Manufacturer Betting

Another motorsport betting option is looking at the car manufacturers and betting on which one will win the championship, regardless of the driver. Top contenders are Mercedes, Ferrari, McLaren and Audi, among others, so if you have knowledge of cars, then this is your bet!
