05-10-2012, 06:51 AMHey everyone,
I live in Beijing but frequently come down to Shanghai. What's the best place to find out about trackdays at Tianma (and the F1 circuit)? Any trackdays coming up this weekend / next week?
Cheers,
Harold

05-10-2012, 10:25 AMTianma Track has a few bike races (China SBK) this coming weekend called the Tianma Racing Festival or similar.......
Both Tianma Track and SIC open for track-days on short notice, a few threads on MCM talk about track-days, use the search function and you shall find a few threads.

05-15-2012, 02:41 AM19+20 May = Tianma Track Days, heading out to have a look on Sunday. BGP is the only operator that rents track bikes as far as I know, someone will correct me if I am wrong......

I'll have full list of open days for TianMa in an hour for whats left in May dates - A few of will be there this coming weekend doing practice. There will be bikes available for rent and will post up shortly details of the superbike school dates that we will be doing. Bike, track time, gear and instruction all included.
Cheers
SIC, nothing being mentioned recently for any more open days this month, with any luck June will have a few days

08-12-2013, 07:39 PMAny info on beginners track days? Looking to get into it but not interested in starting on a 600... Thinking more like 125cc or 250cc bikes to rent and ride for the day. I'll be near Shanghai and open to anything, including go-kart tracks.

Jon you'd be better advised to find an empty paved area and learn how to knee-down, you can do this on your own and study the techniques needed on the internet. Then spend money on track instruction later.

Riding or racing on a track is a bit more then just "knee down" .... actually knee down or not is one of the very least important things to learn.
You will be surprised how many things you got to re-learn if you want to go fast around a track.
As you are not living in China, I can only advise you to have your track classes not here.
Besides of Zhuhai, all other classes suck. Besides, they screw you for renting the stuff, all in all very expensive for very little.

Yes there is a heck of a lot more to good track riding than knee-down type cornering, such as body positioning, effective braking such a trail braking and so on. But for most street riders it is an epiphany to realize (including me 5 years ago) that their bike will lean at 55 degrees, much more than the 40-45 degrees they were probably doing before. Best of all it can be learnt for free at moderately slow speed and safely on a small China bike. A bit like teaching yourself to ski on a cheapo bunny hill, then when you get better have pro instruction on a real mountain.
