ENDURO 8 HOUR RACE On the 18th - 19th August 2007, Following the great success of the last event we are organizing the next race at the International Bira Circuit (Pattaya, Thailand) the 8H Pattaya Enduro Race.
This event will be divided in 6 categories: Open, Lightweight Supercup, Trail Bikes, VIP Over 40 and Mixed Category.

8H of Pattaya Enduro Race is open to all Enduro amateurs or semi-professionals, without any restrictions, provided all the drivers have sufficient level of experience to ensure their and other participants’ safety on the track.

Veni, Vindi, Vinci....

As I had no answer about my question on the 8 Hours Endurance Event in Bira, I went there and thanks to Monsterman I discover this famous (in Thailand) BIRA circuit.

Well....nice, but you have to know the place if you want to find it !

Few Subarus Impreza and a Mitsu Rally cars "cruisin" on the speedway, nothing special, but unfortunatelly I did not saw any Off-Road bikes in the rear of the circuit, maybe it was cancel but nobody knows about it...

Next time

The Enduro certainly took place as a friend rang me earlier this evening to say how good it was

8 hour ENDURO was definatly on ,
the location was not the BIRA raceway ,but a good loction called MOTOR SPORT SHOP ,approx 3 klms closer to Pattaya ON THE SOUTH BOUND SIDE but still on the main 36 highway just pass a big SHELL servo,

didnt ride myself but went to have a look ,
the format was teams racing of 3 or 4 riders and each rider did max 3 laps each (lap times varied but approx 6 to 7 minutes average for 1 lap and the guys said was a good track with hill climb and a lot of sand) ,
many thais on modified SONICS and a heap of KTMs,

cant give any info as to results but enjoyed a few hours of excitement ,

maybe someone else has the results??

do know there was a couple of Aussie hot shot motorcross guys that where lapping very quickly!!

the next 8hr event is calendered in for december,at the same venue in pattaya,
the organises plan to have new yamaha enduro bikes and service crews available to hire, the 8hr of pattaya is aimed to be a international event, and the idea is teams can fly in from around the world hassle free with motorcycles supplied.

the team i was on did win, i rode with 2 young thai riders, 1 guy 19 years old name "gahy" who works for som racing shop in pattaya, and the other guy was only 17years old named "tittipong" he is a competitor in thai sx chapionships as well as roadraces stepthru class in thai chpshp.
"gahy" dislocated his thumb in the first hour, but pushed on through the whole event, fantastic job.
"tittipong" hit a tree head on, at around the 2 hr mark, knocked himself unconscious,got taken to hospital, then came back to join back in the race a couple of hours later, he is a name to watch in thailand at the races, both riders showed true grit
