Another Sizzling Hot event at the 2nd Round Chengdu Racing F
The Super HOT Guangdong International Circuit’s July Racing Festival
成都西南赛车节里大为成功的中国本田CBF150单一赛事
本田技研工业(中国)投资有限公司与其合资工厂“新大洲本田”在过去4年来,已极为成功地和BG在全国多个赛车场合作组办了每年多场的本田CBF150全国专业培训和活动, 所以当本田希望将他们一向在上海天马赛场举办的CBF150单一品牌系列赛事扩张到其他更具潜力的地区后,向BG委以重任组织此场比赛, 而成都作为中国内陆西南区域的中心城市,是此次摩托车赛事的极为关键的场地。
因此,在2014年7月11-13日成都国际赛车场第二站西南精英赛车节当中,BG把原来举办超级摩托车锦标赛的时段提供了给本田共同运营此次CBF150统一赛事。
由于这是本田CBF150统一赛事第一次除了在上海天马赛场外的其他地区举办,加上本田公司刚来到中国接任摩托车部新领导的Fujisaki先生也会来到参观,让本田和新大洲的人员都极为注重这次赛事,尽力以确保此次赛事可以成功完成!
BG和本田人员在开赛前几周就开始筹备所有的前期工作,在经过与成都赛场的多次相谈与协商后,在赛事的周五那天,我们可以看到本田的广告横幅和广告旗帜都在赛场的里里外外展示出来,整个赛事都呈现了Honda大型活动的氛围。
成都的天气从周四到周六都是在断断续续的下雨,由于天气难以预测,令到不够时间更换干地或湿地轮胎。所以CBF-150的重要计时排位赛被延迟到了周日早上,
周日天气终于放晴,但是白天气温却升到让人透不了气的39度高温, 周日共有11场不同的赛事:中国摩协赛事有 : 改装150组、150原厂组、比亚乔踏板125组、公开踏板组、公开250组,还有汽车的1600cc A/B组, 2700cc A/ B组、公开超级组,一整天都被这么多赛事排得满满的 ,要直到傍晚6点半后才结束,这实在是极为漫长的一天!
本田CBF150cc 统一赛在此次举办中大获成功,由于有大量的车手都想参加而赛车数量有限,所以有幸参加的人都完的极为尽兴,很多人都希望BG和本田以后多点组织这种赛事 !
周日,BG Steven安排了本田新领导和中国摩协的林主任,张副主任见面和探讨有关Honda、BG和中国摩协未来在中国摩托车年青车手培训,赛事的赞助和合作方向,希望为中国更多年青一代提升到全国及亚太地区的高级赛事水平。BG还安排了本田和中国最大的电视网络媒体:CNTV和中国最大的摩托车网志:摩托吧一同见面和相讨如何联合向大众推广本田和组办更多的赛事和活动。
本田CBF150单一品牌赛事已成为中国二轮市场中极其成功的一项赛事之一,这些年来,本田和BG为上千的摩托车爱好者和车手们提供了一个学习正确驾驭摩托车的机会,使国内很多地区的摩托车俱乐部、车友都获益匪浅!
成都西南房车精英赛的第3回合将延期到2014年九月5-7日,也是BG举办的超级摩托车锦标赛的第二站,由于第一站的大量参赛人数,我们也期盼此次赛事会有更多车手的加入而会变得更精彩!
衷心感谢成都赛场的管理人员对此次本田赛事的举办给予鼎力支持与所有的帮助!
