The .racing Domain: An Address Built for the Track
The .racing domain entered the root zone on 26 March 2015 under an ICANN agreement dated 4 December 2014, renewed on 23 September 2024. Its registry operator is Premier Registry Limited, based in Gibraltar. On 13 August 2026 the zone held 5,616 registrations with 4,539 present in the zone file, giving a publication rate above eighty per cent.
Circuits, motor and horse racing clubs, cycling and running events, sim-racing leagues and retailers of racing equipment make up the registrant base. No licence, club membership or federation record is required at registration. Try your candidates in .racing domain search, and see the .review page for another extension from the same group.
In most generic extensions, section four of Specification 11 lists anti-abuse commitments. For .racing it describes a country-level information programme instead: participating countries prepare an information page for their own citizens, the visitor's country is identified by geolocated IP address, and a seal is displayed on the site. Clicking the seal takes the visitor to their own country's page. The mechanism informs the audience; it places no limit on who may register.

Frequently Asked Questions About .racing Domains
The questions people actually ask before registering — answered plainly.
-
No licence or federation record is required. The agreement defines no identity-based eligibility test, and the registry is obliged to run a non-discriminatory registration policy. One distinction matters, though: organising races, taking bets or operating a circuit is regulated in its own right, and those duties arise from the activity rather than from the address. Registering the extension grants you no authorisation of any kind.
-
Circuits, motor and horse racing clubs, cycling and running events and sim-racing leagues make up most of the zone. Retailers selling helmets, tyres and race equipment park their campaign pages there too. The extension works particularly well for event names: instead of baking the year into the stem, keep the address stable and use a dated sub-page, so the same name carries every season. Test candidates on the .racing search page.
-
The programme exists to tell visitors about the rules in their own country. Participating states prepare an information page for their citizens, the visitor's country is determined from a geolocated IP address, and a seal appears on the site. Clicking it takes the visitor to their national page. This is not a registration restriction and it does not affect your ability to obtain a name; it is simply an unusual clause to find in a registry agreement.
-
No, they are separate legal entities. The contracting party for .racing is Premier Registry Limited, while .review belongs to dot Review Limited. Both sit in a portfolio registered at the same address in Gibraltar, which is why they look alike, yet they run under separate agreements and their zones differ in size. A name in one grants nothing in the other. Compare them on the .review page.
-
The record comes from the registry's lookup service and shows the creation date, last update, expiry and name servers. Personal details are largely withheld under data protection law, so do not expect a registrant name. If you are taking over an event address, the expiry date is the first field to read. Run a single query through whois search, or check several names at once with bulk domain search.
