The ProSport 450 class in 2026
Who can race
Riders race on an AFT ProSport license, which is only for this class. To enter an event, a rider must have made the Main Event in the RtAFT 450 class at the amateur event the day before.
Race day
The 2026 rulebook outline says a ProSport 450 event may include two qualifying sessions and one six-lap heat race of 16 riders, with every rider going on to the Main Event.
The ProSport 450 Main Event is 10 laps on a Short Track, TT or Half-Mile.
Formats can change for a specific event, so each event’s own schedule is the final word.
