Sprint Cars are a particularly unique form of auto racing, with events held on small dirt tracks and paved ovals around the country.

Auto Racing in Casari is organized by the Casaran Automobile and Motorcycle Racing Association. Races are held involving a wide variety of cars and motorcycles throughout the region.
Contents
Classes
Competition takes place in many different classes, each featuring very different types of machines.
Formula Racing
Formula Car racing is the premier Auto racing class in Casari. The classes are organized in a fashion to allow a continuous level of improvement from the Motorcycle Engine-based cars raced by local enthusiasts to the top-flight Formula World series that attracts the nation's best drivers.
| Class | Code | Engine Size |
| Formula World | FW | 5000cc |
| Formula A | FA | 4000cc |
| Formula B | FB | 3200cc |
| Formula C | FC | 2500cc |
| Formula Republic | FR | 1900cc 6-cyl |
| Formula Republic Junior | FRJ | 1400cc 4-cyl |
| Formula 1000 | F1000 | 1000cc Motorcycle Engine |
| Formula 700 | F700 | 700cc Motorcycle Engine |
| Formula 500 | F500 | 500cc Motorcycle Engine |
Grand Touring/Touring Cars
A large number of Casarans follow the various local and national Touring Car races, which can range from short 30 or 45 minutes races to 12 or 24 hour endurance races.
Prototypes are purpose-built race cars with an open cockpit. Bridging the gap between Formula and Sports cars, they are the centerpiece of many of the Confederation's prestigious races. The Sports Racer classes are slower cars, usually raced by local enthusiasts. While similar in design, they are built out of well-established and reliable technology.
| Class | Code |
| Prototype 900 | P900 |
| Prototype 700 | P700 |
| Sports Racer A | SRA |
| Sports Racer B | SRB |
| Sports Racer C | SRC |
Grand Touring in Casari is organized into three classes, accomidating varying types of sports cars and supercars built in Casari and around the world.
| Class | Code | Car Type |
| Grand Touring O | GTO | Supercars |
| Grand Touring 1 | GT1 | Purpose-Built Racing Sports Cars |
| Grand Touring 2 | GT2 | Modified Production Sports Cars |
The slowest type of car of the three are the Touring Car classes. Touring cars are 2 door coupes or 4 door sedans intended for road use. Starting with cars built for racing with the appearance of production cars to production cars with various levels of modifications, Touring Cars are the most equally balanced group in Casari. All Touring Car models and modifications are approved by CAMRA in order to allow even competition.
| Class | Code | Car Type |
| Touring O | TO | Purpose-built Racecars |
| Touring A | TA | Heavily modified Coupes and Sedans |
| Touring B | TB | Modified Coupes and Sedans |
| Touring C | TC | Lightly modified Coupes and Sedans |
Rally
Rally racing has quickly become one of the fastest-growing segments of Auto-racing in Casari. Taking advantage of some of the rarely used and slightly run-down roads around the nation, Rallies are becoming more popular by the year. Leading rallies are the odd Rally Prototypes, built from the ground up not by the car companies, who want to show off the cars they produce, but my enthusiasts who desire to be fastest. The result is a large number of styles and designs for these slightly unorthodox vehicles. All rally cars other than prototypes are split into various groups based on engine size, mandating a minimum weight to even out competition.
| Class | Code | Car Type |
| Rally Prototype | RP | Purpose-built Prototype Rally cars |
| Rally Group O | RO | Open class for modern or historic cars that do not fit current groups |
| Rally Group A | RA | Mid-Size cars |
| Rally Group B | RB | Compact Cars |
| Rally Group C | RC | Sub-Compact Cars |
Sprint Cars
Sprint Cars are a particularly unique form of auto racing, with events held on small dirt tracks and paved ovals around the country. The cars are particularly powerful, with some relying on large wings to hold them to the track and are constructed with as few extra components as possible to keep weight down to a minimum. CAMRA has organized classes for cars with 7, 6, and 5 liter engines both with wings and without, along with a wingless 4 liter engine Junior class and a wingless 3 liter engine Midget class. However, CAMRA currently does not organize sprint car races, leaving it to the local tracks and promoters, who are able to use the races to turn a profit and keep tracks in operation for other CAMRA-sanctioned events.
Motorcycles
Motorcycle racing is also very popular in Casari, and barely any event weekends take place without both Automobile and Motorcycle racing.
Track/Road
Track or Road Motorcycles are for competitions taking place on closed racetracks. Many are derived from production bikes, while some are special-built for racing.
| Class | Code | Engine Size/ Configuration |
| Grand Prix | GP | 1000cc |
| 700cc | 700R | 700cc 4-cyl |
| 500cc | 500R | 500cc 4-cyl |
| 350cc | 350R | 350cc 2-cyl |
| 250cc | 250R | 250cc 2-cyl |
| 175cc | 175R | 175cc 1-cyl |
| 125cc | 125R | 125cc 1-cyl |
Sidecar
Sidecar Racing is a semi-popular variant of motorcycle racing, where 2 people race on one vehicle, one driving and one adjusting their weight in order to keep the bike stable.
| Class | Code | Engine Size/ Configuration |
| 700cc | 700R | 700cc 4-cyl |
| 500cc | 500R | 500cc 4-cyl |
| 350cc | 350R | 350cc 2-cyl |
Marathon
