New in Singapore

[Jim636]

Greetings girls and boys. I've recently ended up living on this hot little island so thought I'd say hello. I've so far figured out that car ownership is not going to be an option here, so I've got myself a ZX6R to play with. The next thing I've learnt is that Singapore is not ideal for a Sunday morning blast. Where do I head for to find quiet tarmac of a twisty nature?

What's the deal with the old track over in Johor? Is it a turn-up-and-ride-around thing, or is there bookings to made as per the UK track day scene? I'd also like to have a little wobble around Sepang. Anyone have any information that might be useful?

Any advice much appreciated.

Excellent. Two days with SBK booked for the end of November. Will check out Johor circuit the next free weekend I get. Where are the best roads in this area? A bit of googling turns up Cameron Highlands?

Will do. Phuket bike week sounds proper. Will put that one in the diary.

Thanks for the info Rich. I'll let the organisers know I've done the odd trackday or two. What's the level like in the Malaysian race series compared to the UK?

I was considering getting an enduro toy to play with. Possibly in the new year. Are there decent places to play locally or am I going to need a van/trailer too??

Looks like fun. I hope the guy who's head you avoided got you a pint.........

So it turns out that, contrary to expectations, Singapore is a great place to have a sportsbike. SBR trackdays event at Sepang was excellent. Great track and really well organised. Pasir Gudang is a good laugh but eats Supercorsas. And there seems to be a high chance of not being found for a few weeks if you leave the track on a fast corner.......

Maybe I should correct the first sentence to reflect the fact that Malaysia is a great place to have a sportsbike. And Singapore is quite close by.

Anyone ventured as far as Sentul or Bira for a trackday?
