"What is Mote tai?"
"Mote tai" is an endurance race using motorcycles with engine sizes between 115cc and 250cc!
(For 4-stroke, 4-cylinder or smaller vehicles)
"Mote tai" is an introductory endurance race for road races that can be participated in with bikes of 115cc or more and 250cc or less, 4-stroke, and 4-cylinder or less.
Based on the difference in vehicle performance and characteristics, we have set pit stop times for each class to fill in the gap in lap times. This eliminates the difference in vehicle performance and allows for the possibility of winning in any class.
A endurance race with a chance and dream to stand in the middle of the podium someday!
