Transporters to circuits

[rivx]

Just another noob question...

 

How do you get to the circuit if you got a track bike? Can we rent a van, stick the bike in the van and drive up? Paying for the tow service is not a viable option if this is going to be a weekly trip to the circuit....i know short of buying my own van...any other options?

To make a long story short, these are your options:

1. Pay the tow guys

2. Buy a van

3. Become friends with someone who owns a van

not all vans (G-plate) are allowed entry into Malaysia.

Thanks! So no rental van can go in eh?

[colacin]

To get a rental van to go in would prob cost as much as the tow guys, not to mention extremely difficult to find. Of course renting a van would get *you* to the track, but i don't know if you have other transport.

its cheaper n faster to ride to Pasir Gudang. Also with the current Malaysian immigration thumb print rulling which is causing trafiic jam as long as 5-7hrs you might have a problem getting your bike there in time.

 

a to n fro towing service to Sepang circuit is $250, PG is $80.

contact Jaya: +65 9182 9923

 

alternative: if you have a car you can buy a trailer and tow your own bike.

 

hope this help.

Thanks darthmaul! I guess i'm used to getting to the circuits myself and making it a road trip. You're right i'll have to tow it till i get my own wheels. Just means i'll have to drive up myself too with the rest of my gear...unless the tow service can take all my gear... Do they take all your gear?

[darthmaul]

yes i believe it can be arrange. i have also seen other guy who take a flight up to KLCC airport since sepang curcuit is near the airport.

Some will happily take your gear. I got mine taken up by the towers and was very pleased with the result - not having to lug all that gear around myself!

 

I've only been to PG once and I loved the convenience of towing the bike up. As it turned out, the bike died on me at the track, so there was zero worries about how to get back since the tow was already arranged for a return trip. The only tricky thing to organize is how to get yourself to and back from PG. I managed to hitch a ride up in a mate's car, which was great. If you have your own car, problem sorted!

I got some wheels...i'll drive up...sleep over at some hotel and head over in the morning.
