***NOT JUST FOR KIDS***

Why MiniGP machines?

Machines such as Kayo, Ohvale, PowerCorsa Motorsport Delirios all share key attributes that Road Racers need to know.

You want to improve your lap times on 600cc/1000cc machines awesome. How much does it cost you to go and do a test day or trackday? And how many laps do you get at those days?

MiniGP machines operate at a fraction of the cost of your big bike. Here are some stats:

Oil capacity: 1L, changed every 5-10hours depending on model
Tyres: On a 160cc last 25 hours+ of running - RRP for a pair of Pirelli Moto NZ slicks is less than $399
Fuel: less than 5L per day

Next the cost of MiniGP Racing and trackday entry is roughly half that of a standard trackday. The tracks are far more technically meaning you practice your skills of CORNERING far more often. And you complete far more laps per session.

Resale value: MiniGP machines have great second hand resale value. As regulations prohibit engine modifications and suspension upgrades the $$ you put into a MiniGP Machine is not wasted away when it come time to sell one.

"But they are slow...."

Marc Chappell Racing Clocked a Top GPS speed of 139.1KPH at Manfeild on Sunday.......

Thats on a bike that is 93cm tall with 10 inch wheels and around 13HP..... (160cc 2 valve machine).

The 190CC Daytona machines push out 25hp.

FYI - There are covered pits and club rooms to watch all the action from, rain or shine 👍🏻😊

No matter the weather (bar a Cyclone....) we run our events during the wet or dry!

We have people travelling from Auckland coming to our event - all our hire machines have both dry tyres and full race Wet tyres.

Chappys experience is that you learn MORE at wet training days - as you focus on LEARNING over SPEED.

We will have a mechanic available working on our hire machines to ensure they are ready to rock!

Level 4 Racers Edge has only 2 spots left! our other levels have places to fill.

Don't forget we run a funday track day in the afternoon - super affordable at $60 if you have your own machine and gear. A 110cc machine is $160 including all the gear and entry.
