Grand Prix motorcycle racing is the highest class of motorcycle road racing. Events are held on road circuits sanctioned by the Fédération Internationale de Motocyclisme (FIM). Independent motorcycle racing events have been held since the start of the twentieth century, when large national events were often given the title Grand Prix. In 1949, the FIM was founded as the international governing body for motorcycle sport, and it coordinated rules so that select events could become part of official world championships. Grand Prix road racing is the oldest established motorsport world championship.
