Closed Circuit Racing

Speed. Precision. Performance. Closed Circuit Racing is a high-intensity, asphalt-based motorcycle sport where riders compete on closed tracks designed for controlled, competitive racing. With sharp turns, straights, and strict technical standards, the discipline demands precision riding, machine control, and peak physical conditioning.

MSFK is actively developing a national circuit racing structure aligned with FIM Africa's Road Racing Commission standards, offering Kenyan riders a pathway from local competition to continental racing.

How Circuit Racing Works

Circuit Racing involves motorcycles racing on paved, looped tracks with predefined layouts. Events are run in laps and governed by strict rules around bike specifications, gear, and conduct. Unlike off-road disciplines, Circuit Racing emphasises speed and braking control, cornering technique, and tactical overtaking.

Tracks in Kenya include Jamhuri Park, with growing interest in establishing permanent tarmac circuits across major counties.
