2014 Track days and racing
Hey guys,
A little plug for my friend's business, Blackbridge (http://www.blackbridgemotorcycles.com/). He is organising a lot of track days and racing in Ordos, Inner Mongolia this year. First dates are March 28th / 29th. Blackbridge will have trackbikes for rent. If you're interested give Adrien a call on 18618132163.
Cheers,

Sounds interesting.....might like further details.

Hmm so costs.....make sure you are sitting down....
Bike rental option
200 yuan per 30 minute session. 6 sessions a day= 1200
1000 yuan for bike rental per session. 6 sessions per day= 6000
500 yuan for tuition. One session per day= 500
Total 7,700 per day.
Bring own bike option
200 yuan per 30 minute session. 6 sessions a day= 1200
Blackbridge pit rental per day= 800
500 yuan for tuition. One session per day= 500
Cost to bring own bike from SH/BJ minimum= 2000 (Probably more like 4000)
Total 4,500 per day
You can do an all inclusive training camp including a BMW R1000RR over two days for approximately the same cost as option 1 in the US. Or a one day all-inclusive training camp on a CBR600RR for less cost than option 2.

It ain't cheap but also check out the prices in Zhuhai. Racing bikes in China is still very much a niche activity and the economies of scale are not there yet.
Also, it is very unlikely that you will do 6 sessions in one day - unless you are very fit and experienced. Track riding is gruelling - you'll be beat after 4 sessions!
Ignoring the cost though, it is about the most fun you can have.... :icon10:
