Strange motocycle racing, Chiba Japan.

Funabashi Racing Circuit in Chiba, Japan sees Autorace Japan events taling place most days and nights. You place a bet (vote) on your favourite and pay with funds from your account. Serious gambling going on . It has a lot in common with horse racing which also happens in Funashiba.

I've seen a bit of this racing on TV where they have sports bikes racing against them.

Yeah, I have a video of the mixed racing. The sit up and beg style seems to attract the big money, bets, even with such skinny tyres compared to the sports bikes tyres.

Fantastic stuff , looks like if they come across a clockwise circuit they would need to change the handlebars, it looks great fun all the same , love to have a shot at that

I think racing in a clockwise direction would need a lot of mods. These sit up and begs show most sports bikes the way. We are in Chiba next Easter, hopefully. Hoping to sit on one at least. 😊

@@Manxmann that would be brilliant, an opportunity so few would have , to examine such an exentric and unique form of motorcycle racing
