Alamak the SEXY PR Officer gave me the wrong info then.. KNN.. hahaha..

 

Anyway ive amended it liao..

 

Please give more info lah.. Wats the Basic Safety Requirement for Bikes and Riders??

 

Will there be compulsory riders briefing on basic safety before every session??

 

[RojRyder]

Yes there will be a compulsory riders briefing. As this is the first track day, we will brief the pit exit and entrance, safety do's and dont's.

 

It is recommended to be fully attired in leathers(1pc or 2pc), otherwise, thick riding jackets with elbow and knee guards are necessary. Full face helmet, leather gloves and high boots are compulsory.

[gladiat0r]

during the recent bikeasia 08 show,i went to the tuas circuit booth and spoke to a nice young lady.she was telling me that 400cc and 250cc bikes such as cbr,rvf,gsx,zx,rs,pgm will all be allowed participation on the track.but i dont see this category listed above.can anyone confirm this?i really hope we can enter cos i cant wait any longer...ha..thanks.

[GrimReaper]

Tuas track for small bikes + motard. Big bikes gotta wait for changi track - another 3-5 years.

THE TIME HAS COME!!!

 

Roj, just to clarify, 2 riders can share one bike as long as we pay $50 for each rider, correct?

 

 

Also, any scrutineering? Tech requirements like lights taped up, mirrors removed, etc?

[CoStar]

hey guys, is there anyway i can borrow suits+footgear for the track?

must save up for full face liao.

[Raptor]

THE TIME HAS COME!!!

I really wonder if they will enforce tech requirements like the go karts track I go to here in the USA.

 

All glass headlights must be taped or removed.

Mirrors must be removed.

This is to prevent glass hazards on the track in the event of a crash.

 

Footpeg and axle sliders must be installed.

This is to prevent the track surface from being damaged or scuffed up in the event of a crash.

 

Catch cans must be installed.

This is to prevent the inadvertent spllage of fuel onto the track from the carb overflow tubes in the event of a crash.

 

Though they may sound like a pain in the butt requirements... you got to admit they know what they are doing.

 

Track days are supposed to be fun and safe... both for new and experienced riders. The organisers want the participants to come back again and again... and thats how the money is made. Not go for one track day and have bad memories of it and never to go back again.

 

Got to give them Americans credit for long term thinking.

[asidsoul]

Roj,

Close sources actually said, the tarmac has not been layed out yet. Is this true?

 

Judging from track layout, do you see safety issues regards to run-off areas?

 

Appreciated the constant effort from the team.

[aalphaa]

Anyone can confirm if the asphalt is laid?

[myxilplix]

Yes, exactly. I was wondering if they will be enforcing some basic tech rules or will it be another Wild Wild West like PG, where anything goes.

[maman_600rr]

i thought last mth,the tarmac not ready yet?

[condordragon]

hmmm... no need any additional license right? hurray...

[Raptor]

Yes, exactly. I was wondering if they will be enforcing some basic tech rules or will it be another Wild Wild West like PG, where anything goes.

 

What they really should have is... the segregation of the first time on the track beginners from the more experienced.

 

The segregation will be beneficial to both the new and experienced riders. The organisers should really make an effort to do this.. especially providing the first timers a briefing on the do's and don'ts of track riding and some basic introduction to track riding techniques and etiquette. Furthermore, there are alot of other riders who would like to try riding on a track but are intimidated by the idea of being a hazard to others on the track.... these people are actually an untapped market.

 

Those who have ridden PG Trackdays will know exactly what my concerns are about.

[myxilplix]

Good idea Raptor. I'd like to add some suggestions.

 

1) Safety briefing for EVERYONE, experienced and beginners alike. After that extra briefing for beginners. Also post up rules and regulations prominently around the pit areas.

 

2) Gather some of the experienced riders who are willing (i'm sure some won't be) to volunteer their time to lead beginners on a few guided laps/observe their riding for a few laps and give them advice to make their track time more enjoyable/less intimidating.

 

 

I'm still wondering about tech requirements.

i definitely agree.. i think they should seperate this 2.. as i m one of the new ones.. i feel afraid to participate as i dun wanna be on the way of experienced track riders. it will b a hazard to them and us.. pls consider something..

[Zer0]

Yes please tell me that there is a category for 250 2stroke/400 4 stroke road bikes I want to bring my CBR400 out this weekend for a ride around. If larger capacity motards can get around the track then 400 size 2a class bikes should be fine.

 

Failing that I might HAVE to go buy a motard I guess...

[myxilplix]

If everyone, experienced and novice alike, are going to share the track together, then perhaps they should follow the angmoh style of having novices wear those yellow reflective safety vests, so that people can give them extra space.

[Zer0]

They would probably be better off grouping people like they do at track days in Aus. How they run there is:

 

You pay for either full day or half day. You nominate a group to ride in either slow/medium/fast you get a wrist band or bike sticker to match your group.

 

Then the groups alternate through out the day in 15-20 minute sessions. So slow goes out for 15-20 min, then comes in and medium goes out, then comes in and fast goes out then round again.

 

This keeps things much more comfortable for everyone and makes the newbies and casual riders more comfortable in the slow group, those who are a bit faster/more experienced in medium and those guys that are really serious in the fast group. Means newer riders don't have racers flying up the inside of the into corners and freaking them out and the the fast riders don't have to worry about inexperienced riders not holding their lines and being unpredictable in corners etc.

 

Also makes everyone have a rest between sessions so you don't stay out too long at a time and get tired and sloppy and make silly mistakes.

That is exactly how they do it here in the USA too.

 

So much safer for everyone.

 

Just wondering if we will get to see this kind of action on the go kart track too....
