A light-weight track for a track-laying vehicle in which a flexible belt (11;64) has rigid driving members (28;61) secured to its inner surface for engagement with a drive sprocket (40,75). Successive driving members are staggered relative to the longitudinal center line of the belt so that successive driving members engage opposite sides of the sprocket, this arrangment helping to avoid trapping of loose stones or debris between the driving members and the sprocket.

A track assembly for a track-laying vehicle comprising a flexible belt arranged to pass around a driving sprocket and load-supporting wheels of the vehicle said belt having inner rigid driving members secured to its inner surface to provide drive and guidance for the belt, successive driving members being staggered with respect to the center line of the track so that successive driving members are engageable with opposite sides of a driving sprocket to enable the belt to be driven only by alternate engagement of driving members with opposite sides of the driving sprocket, the driving sprocket having wedge-shaped notches formed alternately in opposite side faces of the sprocket for engagement with the successive driving members, providing both drive and lateral guidance, the driving members and the notches being complementarily shaped with the smaller ends of the driving members directed into the notches.
