Fortunately for car racing enthusiasts, temporary street circuits offer the much needed break and training. Temporary street circuit car racing is quite different when compared to the permanent road car racing. In the former less grip is required. The reason is that street circuit organizers need to lay their own rubber each year since the rubber of one year will definitely not hold till the next year considering the amount of cars racing on it as well as the time factor.

For this purpose, the cars racing on the temporary street circuit has a slightly different build. For instance, for day one of the circuit softer tires would be helpful. It would be better if you could tie up with the tire developer and have a made-to-order tire from the best compound that can run well considering the different aspects of the track such as rougher surface, higher curbing, wet conditions as the tire needs of individual track change quite considerably. Another characteristic of the temporary street circuit car racing is these are narrower when compared to regular racing tracks. That is the reason drivers face a challenging situation when passing or lapping slower vehicles and have to get into the follow-the-leader attitude.

Car racing is not limited to a specific sport type. Some of the variations in the sport are the Formula 1 racing, which of course is considered a glamorous sport frequented by the rich and famous. The other form is Rallycross which is a sprint style racing performed on compact circuits. The third type is the National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing or NASCAR which is known for speed and agility. The latest entrant is the drifting in which the driver oversteers the car on purpose so as to lose traction in rear wheels. All through vehicle control has to be maintained despite the amazingly high speed.

The next type is the World Rally Championship which is believed to be one of the most challenging and demanding car racing events in the world. Here the driver races at high speed on tracks of gravel, asphalt, mud and snow at temperatures ranging from minus 30-40 degrees centigrade. The next is the drag racing in which two or three cars race over short distances of quarter of a mile and may last for no more than 15 seconds. The idea of the race is to test acceleration speed of the vehicle, concentration power of the driver, performance modulation and accuracy with gear skills
