Sept 13: GYMKHANA GP UNVEILS SEARCH FOR RP BETS TO 2005 TAIWAN GRAND PRIX

Want to be with the Philippine Moto Team to the prestigious Taiwan Grand Prix?

Xtreme Worx is searching for gutsy and talented riders with big dreams of barging into the international scene through the Philippine Gymkhana Grand Prix on September 17, Saturday, 8 a.m.- 4 p.m. during the Motorshow 14 located at The Forum, Red Parking Lot of the PICC.
 

The said event will serve as a qualifying event to determine the two riders who will represent the country in the 2005 Taiwan Gymkhana Grand Prix set October 15-16 at the Taipei Show Center in Taipei.

Sanctioned by the National Motorcycle Sports and Safety Association (NAMSSA), riders 18 years old and above with a valid NAMSSA competition license and travel passport are eligible to compete subject to compliance with conditions stated in the event’s supplementary regulations.

Participants must also satisfy NAMSSA’s minimum safety requirements for their motorcycle equipment (underbone, scooter and solo models) and racing gear like elbow pads, knee pads, racing suit and helmets.

Entry fee is only P500 with NAMSSA competition license to be issued on site. Participants can join the following classes: Scooter 50 cc, Scooter 75 cc., Scooter Open, Underbone Open and Solo Open.

Motorcycle Gymkhana is a riding skills and safety competition set on an enclosed obstacle-laden track where participants take turns in traversing the course at the quickest time possible. The said sport is an offshoot of the popular automobile gymkhana.

Motorcycle Gymkhana, being more economical and less dangerous, does not lack in challenge and excitement, and is expected to become more popular in Asia and the Philippines in the next few years.

Participants will undergo individual timed runs thru a slalom course using traffic cones. The rider with the best combined time from the two runs wins.

Xtreme Worx will shoulder the airfare and hotel accommodation of the top two winners.

The Taiwan Gymkhana Grand Prix, organized by the Chinese Taipei Motor Association and to be telecast in Star Television Asia, offers a total prize of US $10,000. Qualifiers will also get the chance to win cash prizes of US $3,000 in the individual and US $7,000 in the national team event.
