New race season coming

[JawsJaws]

I know few years ago there is few bike shops that involve in our local races

like First Motor,Wing Yap,Xtreme,Teo Spray,Sporting Motor n many others.......

wondering this coming season any bike shops got support some of their customers

or sponsor riders for the event

[5thRider]

Last year got KNT sponsor 400cc class in Sepang and WAN Racing Team too...

My friends and I seek help from Bikelab, Excel...

Surely got many underbone teams....

[TooToo7]

How about above 400cc Categories ? So far, I think Bikelab has the most number of competitiors coming from them.

 

Any other shops ?

1st, for full sponsorship.. you must be damn lucky, be Somebody or damn quick(which does not really matter actually, slow also ok)!!! My pals and I not sponsored, the shop just support us in whatever way they can... By giving us good guidance and maybe priority service if needed...

 

I think in 2001-2003, TSP, HKL, Wing Yap fully sponsored their riders( bikes, parts etc..many money involved). Excel too at one point. I'm not too sure about the underbone classes but surely many out there... In Singapore, got people help already fortunate. Most are not too concerned bout winning or whatever, just help out for the sport's sake and the riders who put in the effort to race ---- which is very kind. Good luck to all...

first i think u got to be fast. but not very very fast la..

then must have some race experience lor n also result.

if not who want to sponsor right?

[nocturnized]

Maybe i guess one have to fork out his/her own money for the expenses in the beginning. Only if they're lucky to get spotted by a talent searcher, maybe then it'll be a different story laa..

 

Money money money hehehe

It's a matter of who you knows and who knows you.

 

Even if you are the fastest rider, that doesn't mean you will get full sponsorship (e.g riding on the shop's bike). Only 1 or 2 riders have been paid to race in the Johor Race Series.

As 5th rider mention, you must be damn lucky!

 

Being 'partially sponsored' is already good enough. That means buying equipments at cost price, and maybe free servicing.

I've personally seen, heard and experience that 'slower riders' get full support instead of faster riders because they have been the shop customers for many years.

 

Unless media coverage is increased, a race track is built here and the shops can reap benefits from the sponsorship, things will remain this way.

This is a 'rich man' sport, as you would already know it by now.

 

Meanwhile, you will have to fork out your own $$.

Yup....here in SG, all race for PASSION rather for PROFITS. Respect those who are joining the 2007 races in Johor Circuit and Sepang!!!

Until there is a track in Singapore, there will be almost no support from SG bike shops...

Yup, quite true..

 

But actually IMO, I felt that "When there is a track in Singapore, there will be an overwhelming support by SG bike shops..." is more apt/ true.
