The way I see It,

Race as Car Race or Motor Cycle Race... MotorSport Make sense! [emoji4]

Sporting Event: Running, Cycling, Game Day...

Motorsports and sporting events would probably have the same push text, so the real benefit here is just adding more specific data to the MTE. With that, it is also potentially redundant (I'm not sure about that, I want your advice. It sounds like you think they're different?)
Well, if both will be the same text, Maybe the unic name would be sporting events.

I like Sporting event, it can take in things like running or cycling while providing a category for other sports that were not mentioned. It seems more clear than Game day IMHO.
Option 2 seems nice.

If we're looking to simplify and cover as many possibilities as possible, then how about "Motorsports"? This could include motorcycles or any other engine powered vehicle other than a car.
wikipedia.org/wiki/Motorsport wrote:Motorsport or motorsports is a global term used to encompass the group of competitive events which primarily involve the use of motorised vehicles, whether for racing or non-racing competition.
Anything else involving the physical effort of actual people/animals, including a race, would then rather go into Sporting event.

This would solve the issue with the current "Race" term in option 2 where it's not clear enough to know if a running event or horse race could fit in it. Changing to Car race would solve that distinction but not be valid for non-car motorized races.

I can see why you'd mention that since the word "sport" is used twice, in a list view:
Motorsports
Sporting event
..doesn't bother me much personally.

Again personally I don't have a strong preference for keeping them separate or merging them into the same category.
Only how would you do it? By only keeping "Sporting event" or by naming the category "Sporting/motorsports event" or something similar?

While I understand what is being said, I'm also a bit confused why it sounds like you mean a road closure would behave differently on the map depending on the MTE category, given the fact that closures installed by editors on WME have a preset start/end date and time anyway. We're not talking about RTCs that you setup from the client(app) here.

@mbino16: Does the MTE category change how the closures will behave? If yes then I had never heard that before and would learn something new.

Thanks for clearing out the fact that it has no impact on the timeframe or behavior of the Real Time Closures for the event, as it was hinted in the last page.

As for your question I stand with my previous statement, would be curious to know what others think ;)
