Motorsport, motorsports or motor sport is a global term used to encompass the group of competitive sporting events which primarily involve the use of motorised vehicles, whether for racing or non-racing competition. The terminology can also be used to describe forms of competition of two-wheeled motorised vehicles under the banner of motorcycle racing, and includes off-road racing such as motocross.
Four- wheeled motorsport competition is globally governed by the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile; and the Fédération Internationale de Motocyclisme governs two-wheeled competition. Likewise, the Union Internationale Motonautique governs powerboat racing while the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale governs air sports; including aeroplane racing.
