Our
Supermotard Classes
Modern Supermoto
is a cross between motocross and road racing. Races are commonly
held on road or medium sized go-kart tracks with an off-road
section in the the infield . Most Supermoto race tracks have a
tarmac component of 50-75% and the remaining percentage of the
course is dirt. The dirt sections are usually constructed of
deco and feature motocross style obstacles like bermed corners
and jumps.
Unlike
conventional road racing the emphasis lies on slower speeds ,
typically less than 160km/h , on short technical tracks
where rider skill matters more than out right machine
performance.
The motorcycles
used are frequently custom created combinations of off-road
motorcycles and road-racing wheels/tires,known as Supermotard
bikes .
Riders wear a
combination of road race and offroad equipment ,normally road
racing leathers and motocross helmets and boots.
The motorcycles
currently used for Supermoto racing are predominantly single
cylinder four-stroke powered dirtbikes with 17-inch wheels with
road racing slick tyres .Suspension is lowered and slightly
stiffened and to improve braking power oversized front brakes
are fitted .
The Whitsunday
Raceway will be one off 3 tracks deigned for the sport in
Queensland .Riders from the Whitsunday Moto Sport Club
race all over the state competing in the sport . Spectacular
sideways action is the hallmark of this exciting sport ,
accompanied by the thunderous roar of big four stroke engines as
up to 24 competitors attempt to stuff their machines into the
first corner.
