Motor Sport

Motor Sports Betting

Our motor sport betting section is the stuff of legend, with F1 markets sitting side-by-side with Moto GP, British Superbikes, NASCAR and much more besides.

There are no prizes for coming second in motor sport races – other than a face full of champagne on the podium afterwards, and of course, the main object in motor sport betting is to back the winners… be it individual races or season-long champions.

You can bet on motor sport in a number of different ways at Paddy Power, which means that every dog can have their day – it’s not just backing race winners that counts.

Motor Sport Odds

We’ll explore motor sport odds in greater detail later, but for now, it’s worth knowing that there are two general strands of betting: outright and individual races.

Take Formula 1, for example. You can bet on who you think will win the Drivers’ or Constructors’ Championships before the start of the season, or at any point during the campaign.

But you might want to dive deeper by wagering on individual Grand Prix races instead – with Paddy Power, the choice is yours.

F1 Betting

The jewel in the crown of motor sports around the globe is Formula 1. Many of the best drivers on the planet find themselves in F1 after cutting their teeth in other motor racing codes, and the result is the thrilling competition that draws tens of millions of TV viewers every single race.

What you may not know is that F1 betting is incredibly popular too, with a feast of different markets for punters to explore. If you know F1 like the back of your hand, then Formula 1 betting might just be the best way for you to make your knowledge really count.

An insight into how each driver performs at the different tracks will greatly inform your Formula 1 bets. Being aware of how each team copes with a range of weather conditions and other variables will help too.

Put all of that information together and you might just have a favourable time of things when you bet on F1.

F1 Odds

As the season unfolds and each car showcases its strengths and weaknesses, it’s no surprise to learn that our Formula 1 betting odds fluctuate accordingly. You can check our live F1 odds at any time, both in the lead-up to a GP, on track day and then in the downtime between races too.

As discussed, there are two broad options when it comes to the Formula 1 odds. You can bet on the season-long championship race for both the drivers and constructors or dial down into the minutiae of each Grand Prix. On that note, you can explore the betting markets detailed below.

Moto GP Betting and Odds

Taking a step away from Formula 1 for a second, it’s also worth discussing another popular motor sport betting option – Moto GP.

The fastest show on two wheels brings plenty of thrills and spills, and bike fanatics can make their opinion count with our Moto GP betting markets.

From outright championship winner to race victor and much more besides, with Paddy Power your MotoGP betting just got a whole bunch more exciting.

One of the main targets for punters are the MotorGP odds for the championship winner – at Paddy Power, we cater for each of the Moto, Moto2 and Moto3 classifications.

But we don’t leave you hanging when it comes to Motor GP odds for individual races, far from it. In fact, you’ll find stacks of different betting options available for each Moto GP on the calendar.
