on reflection, a better solution (i think) is to just use surface tags
that already exist. if you want query terms you could add
circuit_type={oval|road_course|drag}
and perhaps off road, although road_course+dirt might suffice.

These are specific types of motorsport, except for "sport=motor", which can include automobiles, motorcycles and go-karts, so it's not very specific. Reason: Some tracks accept racing from all different kinds of motor vehicles e.g. trucks, cars and motorcycles. There's also some uses of sport=speedway which is also unclear. Speedway is a oval dirt course that is usually used by cars and motorcycles. There isn't really a common tag for raceways used specifically for automobile racing (e.g. NASCAR, Formula One, Drag racing, Rallying, etc). There are 5 uses of sport=autocross, 2 of sport=auto, 1 of sport="auto racing" (with a space). It would be useful to have a specific tag since automobile racing, motocross and karting use rather different raceways in most cases. Most circuits want more money. So they do try to accept any kind of event. For example Assen was built for motorcycle racing (sealed), however to also has had car and kart racing. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TT_Circuit_Assen Brans Hatch .. originally a grass circuit for motorcycles now 2 sealed circuits used by trucks, cars and motorcycles. Also has an unsealed circuit too.. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brands_Hatch Perhaps sport=auto_racing would be clear, and generic enough to cover most types? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auto_racing Auto could be taken as car only, not trucks or motorcycles. I note the motorcycles are mentioned on 6that Wikipedia page twice - once for riders how have taken up car racing and the second time for 'see also'. Also, it looks like there are some other types of motorcycle racing, other than motocross (which is specifically on dirt tracks / raceways). Would sport=motorcycle be good for these? It's used 7 times.\ One of these is a motocross track. Another might be a club house, not a circuit and they are into off roading. ___ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging

It's used 7 times. some karts do run on full sized auto racing circuits, but kart specific tracks are generally much smaller in scale. lots of motorcycle racing on pavement uses the same circuits as cars. but again, sometimes motorcycles run on narrower circuits that are unsuitable for auto racing. i don't have a proposal here, just conveying information. richard -- rwe...@averillpark.net Averill Park Networking - GIS & IT Consulting OpenStreetMap - PostgreSQL - Linux Java - Web Applications - Search ___ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
