"What is Mote tai?"
"Mote tai" is an endurance race using motorcycles with engine sizes between 115cc and 250cc!
(4-stroke, 4-cylinder or less vehicles)
"Mote tai" is an introductory endurance road race that allows participation with motorcycles between 115cc and 250cc, 4-stroke, and 4 cylinders or less.
Assuming that differences in lap times arise due to vehicle performance and characteristics, we have instead set pit stop times according to each class to compensate for those differences. This eliminates the performance gap between vehicles, allowing the race to be held as one where there is a chance to win regardless of which class you compete in.
"Someday, you can stand in the center of the podium at least once!" An endurance race full of chances and dreams!
