Long track motorcycle racing

High-speed track racing on longer circuits with specialized machinery.

Long track, also known as longtrack or German Sandbahn, is a high-speed discipline of track racing held on circuits between 425 and 1000 meters in length. It uses specialized machinery with a longer wheelbase and a two-speed gearbox, similar to speedway equipment. The sport is particularly popular in Germany, where the majority of tracks are located, though events also occur in several other countries.
