The two main race formats are the '''Fig Five''' and the '''Five Solid'''

The '''''Fig Five''''' or '''''"Five Ring Route"''''' is one of the most popular formats on Randal.  It is televised regularly and experienced riders can build a strong fan base.

Among the most popular motorcycle, Zipp and Hoverpod race formats. 


*4 rings( A,B,C,D), surround a center ring in the middle of a square called the Flats. Starting on the North Flat, near the B Ring the riders go toward A Ring where the Spots will dictate if they enter the Left or Right entrance to the Ring.  As they exit "A ring" the Spots on the center ring dictate which Flat they take. The race continues with riders following the directions of the spots, which vary from rider to rider .   The race proceeds till the lead rider has passed through the designated number of passages; usually a race is 20, 42, or 100 passages. 

*Fig 5 vehicles had a pair of direction mounted lights on their display that informs them which is the next left/right or flat designation they must proceed to. 

A the race progreses differant  directed left or right at each of the 4 intersections causing the riders to risk crashing into each other.  Green or Red Lights tell the rider which left or right course to take.  Races take 50,75 and 100 Circles and the winner is the first to complete that number.
