Motorcycle enthusiasts across Thailand are gearing up for the ninth edition of Track Time Thailand, a premier motorcycle track day event promoting road safety.

 

Scheduled to take place on the 6th and 7th of January 2024 at the Kaeng Krachan Circuit, Track Time Thailand offers a controlled environment where riders can refine their skills.

 

The circuit, a counter-clockwise track predominantly featuring left turns, provides a safe haven free of the common road hazards like potholes and unexpected traffic signals, allowing motorcyclists to focus solely on improving their handling and technique, while also having fun.

 

The event’s organizer said “Our roads can be dangerous at times, and our mission with Track Time is to provide a space where riders can push the limits of their motorcycles in a safe, controlled environment. It’s about education as much as it is about enjoyment; we want riders to leave here with a better understanding of what they and their bikes are capable of and of course, we want everyone to have fun.”

In other words, teach a lot of riders how they can push their bikes and believe they have control. It takes years of experience to manage that. This only creates a fake feeling of safety, which will turn deadly on regular roads.

This is an excellent initiative and should be encouraged. More of Thailand’s race tracks (BIRA, Buriram etc) should be opened up to allow this to take place in a safe environment

And there is the guy out front on his phone, hilarious.

How is learning your bike and how it handles in a safer environment a bad thing? They are not asking them to get their knee down.

Out of long experience in Thailand, I know for a fact that the Thai riders as well as some foreign, mostly Arabic, riders will feel like it´s ok to take the fun part of the things in the safe environment to the real streets.

Yes it is! Please provide knowledge or facts that contest mine. If you can´t, you can just lay off the one line sure thing as a sarcastic remark. Only makes you look bad.
