Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
Auto race riders are competitors in a pari-mutuel gambling sport where they compete for ranking using dedicated motorcycles on an oval-shaped dedicated course.
Description
Auto race riders are professional athletes who maneuver dedicated motorcycles to compete for positions against other riders on an oval course. Before races, they handle machine setup and condition management, and during races, they leverage advanced reflexes and concentration for start dashes, cornering, and tactical maneuvers using slipstreams. As a pari-mutuel sport subject to betting, strategic thinking and appealing to spectators are also important. Daily training, physical management, and collaboration with the team (mechanics) are required.
Future Outlook
While there are challenges such as declining audience numbers and interest from younger generations, there is potential to attract new fan bases through media expansion and e-sports collaborations. Therefore, depending on innovations in event management and marketing, a certain level of demand is expected to continue.
