"Moto Festival" is
What is Moto Festival?
Enjoyable event to run on the Grand Prix course with mini bikes
Concept of "Moto Festival"
"Moto Festival" started in 2021 with the slogan "A festival where everyone enjoys BIKE together."
It is a category of mini bikes called 4-stroke mini bikes, and the regulation allows anyone aged 12 and over to participate. In Moto Mini 6 Hours, up to 6 Riders and 6 pit crew members can be registered, so families and friends can invite each other and enjoy together. A big feature is that the fastest person does not necessarily win, due to mini-games during the run and fuel efficiency calculations based on refueling restrictions. Penalties are imposed for times that are too fast. For those who want to compete in speed, the sprint race "Moto Mini NEO STANDARD" is held on Saturdays.
This is a 20-lap sprint race that can be entered by 1 to 2 participants, and 2-stroke vehicles are also allowed. Let's have a great time at the "Moto Festival," an introductory event to motorsports that everyone can enjoy.
* An MFJ competition license is required to participate. Please check the special regulations for details.
Machine Description
The participating machines in "Moto Mini 6 Hours" must follow the rule of "vehicles with an engine displacement of 100cc or less, equipped with a 4-cycle engine at the time of manufacturer's shipment, and general-purpose road vehicles with a type certification in Japan, as well as sports-specific vehicles with the same body structure as general-purpose road vehicles and recognized by the secretariat as 100cc or less". Therefore, there are many entries for specially approved vehicles (YAMAHA/TTR90, Honda/XR100R, CRF100F, XR80, XR70, XR50, CRF50, Z50R, DREAM50R). Although modifications to the frame are strictly prohibited (except for the installation of some cowls), it is possible to change to a 100cc or less engine of the same type as the manufacturer's shipment with a bolt-on. Therefore, modifications such as installing a Honda APE100 engine on a Honda DREAM50R are officially allowed. In addition, regarding wheel size, there is a rule that "the rim size of the wheel must be 12 inches or more", but even if a vehicle with a size of 12 inches or less is installed at the time of sale, it is possible to participate by changing it to 12 inches or more. Therefore, many teams use Honda Monkey/Gorilla or old vehicles that comply with the above regulations. In addition, by setting restrictions such as unifying the carburetor diameter to φ22 and prohibiting the use of water-cooled engines and fuel injection, it can be said that "Moto Mini 6 Hours" participating vehicles maintain a certain equal condition, which is a major characteristic.
