For those looking for faster-paced races, Rio has some thrill to offer with bike and go-kart races happening regularly in the city - Bike races are mostly run outdoors, while Kart races can be either indoors or outdoors.

All of the official bike races in rio are regulated by FECIERJ and a complete calendar can be found here - From mountain bike to speed races, most kinds of bicycle sports are covered by Fecierj and encounter wide acceptance in rio, partially due to the great effort from the government to adapt Rio to the increasing number of bikers, building bikeways and raising awareness of bikers' rights and duties in traffic.

Go-kart races are both common and loved in Rio, and they can be found indoors and outdoors - Outdoors kart races generally use higher-powered karts, while indoors tracks tend to require higher maneuvering skills in order to overcome the added difficulty of the tight spaces in comparison to the outdoor tracks - The only outdoors kart rental place presently active is Kartódromo do Rio de Janeiro, but for indoor karts many options are available at the Xkart website.
