How Fast Are Motorcycle Races?
1 Answers
Motorcycles on the track do not exceed speeds of 300 km/h, generally maintaining speeds between 180 to 250 km/h. Corners are particularly challenging, as higher speeds make it difficult to lean through them. The straight acceleration sections are not long enough to reach 300 km/h, and even if achieved, it would be impossible to reduce speed sufficiently within a few meters to safely navigate a corner. Motorcycle Accident Handling: The Ordos International Circuit meets the standards of an international Grade 2 track, with a designed top speed of 296 km/h. While technological advancements have significantly reduced accident rates, the risk factor and likelihood of accidents increase with higher speeds compared to slower tracks. Medical Support: For the CSBK China Superbike Championship Ordos round, three ambulances were stationed on-site, equipped with specialized surgical emergency medical equipment and staffed by professional surgeons ready to respond immediately to any accidents. Additionally, nearby tertiary hospitals established green channels for the event, ensuring prompt emergency medical care.
