<pre>Reason: Some tracks accept racing from all different kinds of motor vehicles e.g. trucks, cars and motorcycles.

<pre>Speedway is a oval dirt course that is usually used by cars and motorcycles.

There isn't really a common tag for raceways used specifically for
automobile racing (e.g. NASCAR, Formula One, Drag racing, Rallying,
etc).
There are 5 uses of sport=autocross, 2 of sport=auto, 1 of sport="auto
racing" (with a space).
It would be useful to have a specific tag since automobile racing,
motocross and karting use rather different raceways in most cases.</pre>

<pre>Most circuits want more money. So they do try to accept any kind of event.</pre>
<pre>For example
</pre>
<pre>Assen was built for motorcycle racing (sealed), however to also has had car and kart racing. <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TT_Circuit_Assen">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TT_Circuit_Assen</a></pre>
<pre>Brans Hatch .. originally a grass circuit for motorcycles now 2 sealed circuits used by trucks, cars and motorcycles. Also has an unsealed circuit too.. <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brands_Hatch">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brands_Hatch</a>

Perhaps sport=auto_racing would be clear, and generic enough to cover
most types? <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auto_racing">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auto_racing</a></pre>

<pre>Auto could be taken as car only, not trucks or motorcycles.
I note the motorcycles are mentioned on 6that Wikipedia page twice - once for riders how have taken up car racing and the second time for 'see also'.

Also, it looks like there are some other types of motorcycle racing,
other than motocross (which is specifically on dirt tracks /
raceways).
Would sport=motorcycle be good for these? It's used 7 times.\</pre>

<pre>One of these is a motocross track.
Another might be a club house, not a circuit and they are into off roading.
