A great success despite unpredictable weathers
With the great turnout of the 2011 1st Chengdu
Racing Festival at April, 2011, The 2nd Chengdu
racing Festival was held on 30-31 of July and promised to be
the best racing Festival in China’s South Western region as
there were more racing, more entries and more racing queens.
BG-Motorsport, being the organizer and promoter of the 2011
Chengdu Racing Festivals’ SBK races, has been working hard
since the last race making this 2nd race a bigger
success then the last one.
Coming up to the race weekend, the weather in Chengdu has
been horrendous with heavy rain and thunder storms that has
puts many people off in participating in the races but still
a good number of teams and riders entered the race with BG
Racing fielding the strongest line up with our Canadian
Rider Dan, Spaniard Alan and Frenchman Stephane.
Dan won the last Chengdu SBK race with no challenges as Dan
has been racing with more and more confidence under the BG
Team. And Alan won the last round of the Shanghai Tianma
Racing Festival in Feb also riding under the BG Banner.
The BG team arrived Tue to Chengdu and was faced with
torrential rain and strong winds, the rain lasted till
Friday night while everyone was thinking that the race
weekend will be ruined as the Track has multiple flooding
that makes racing impossible, But, as if God has heard
everyone’s pleading, Sat morning, the rain has stopped,
although the sky was still over casted, but the track was
drying up, and with the huge human effort, the standing Pool
of water were being swept off by many track workers and the
management staffs, then the Cities’ fire trucks help to
clean off the debris from the track.
Sat untime practice see BG’s Dan and Alan taking a
demanding lead times with Macau Rider Su and Chengdu rider
Huang following a not too close behind, but the most
impressive were the local riders who’d raced in the last
event and all can see their big improvement this time.
Sunday morning again was overcasted but dry and the
Qualifying goes to Dan, Alan, Su and Huang, Stephane has
some electronic glitch on his newly re-built RSV-4 factory
race bike, so he has to settle for 5th.
While everyone was expecting a Dry race, but light drizzle
started to fall 2 hours before the SBK race, and the track
became too slippery for slick or Dot race road tyres. Upon
the meeting with the officials, it is decided that the SBK
race will be postponed in order to give time for the teams
to change to rain tyres. The Formula China and Super Car
race was moved up instead.
The SBK race started at 4:45 pm and under the cheering of
all the spectators staying behind just to watch this race.
Dan, Su and Alan took off immediately after the race started
and while Dan has to fought off Su for the beginning few
laps until he decided its enough and took off leaving Su has
to battle with Alan for the 2nd place in the
race. Dan kept a waiting game and overtook Su at the last
lap giving no chance for a match to the finishing line.
With rain tyres supplied by Michelin, all the riders
finished the race in great form and everyone had a great
time.
BG’s Stunt Pro Sammo again did his usual great work by
entertaining the crowds during the race weekend giving the
event a much needed entertainment.
With the extremely fast economic growth of China’s inland
provinces especially with Chengdu as the capital of Sichuan
province, Motorsports has been growing extremely fast in the
last couple of years.
At the Touring Car events, over 40 cars entered the race so
this has to be divided into 2 separate class events, then
there is the Formula China race and the most impressive is
the Super Car races with Teams coming from as far as
Kunming, Yunnan province.
Cars such as Ferrari, Lamborghini, Aston Martin, Porsche,
Maserati, Mercedes, Nissan’s GTR were all there dicing with
each other on the track.
All these has given the organizers, promoters great
expectations as everyone can see the great potential of
these China inland provinces as with the special support
from the central Government in developing these inland
regions in the past years, these regions has come up to be
extremely wealthy and important.
We’d like to thank the Chengdu circuit for providing us this
great platform to operate this SBK events, and we’ll be
expecting a record turn out at the next Autumn racing
Festival at end Oct.

在難測的天氣狀況下的完美成功
基於2011年4月的成都超級賽車節首回合賽事的完滿成功並吸引了廣泛的注意。使得7月30-31日舉行的第二回合夏季賽被預期將為中國西南地區帶來更多的賽事專案，更多觀眾和賽車女郎。
BG賽車中心
–
為2011年成都超級賽車節的超級摩托車賽車賽事的組辦及推廣方，從上個賽事後都一直非常努力的推廣這個賽事，希望令到這第二回合賽事更具規模、看點和更為成功。
來到賽事周，成都的雷暴雨天氣使得很多參加比賽的車手都望而止步，但仍有不少車隊及車手的參與。代表BG是我們最強的車手陣容包括加拿大的Dan,
西班牙的Alan和法國的Stephane
.
上回合成都超級摩托車賽事Dan在毫無威脅下贏得比賽。而Alan則在2011年第一場上海天馬論駕的超級摩托車賽事中也奪得了冠軍。
BG團隊于週二抵達成都卻遇到傾盤大雨及強風雷暴，而此惡劣天氣一直持續至週五的晚上。當所有人都以為賽道會由於暴雨連連而造成嚴重積水令到賽事無法進行時。卻竟意不到的是上天似乎聽到所有人的懇求，於週六早上雨奇跡般的停了。雖然還是陰天，但是經過大量工作人員對賽道的清理，加上城市的消防車也幫忙清理賽道的雜物，賽道及時重現可以比賽的狀態。
週六的不計時練習賽中，BG的Dan及Alan佔據了絕對的領先優勢。而隨後的澳門車手蘇少雄及成都車手黃彥嘉處於落後不遠一直追趕。而最令人感到印象深刻的是很多參加過上回合賽事的本土車手的騎乘技術有了很大的提升。
周日早上雖然仍是陰天但是賽道是幹的，排位賽上由Dan,
Alan,
蘇少雄及黃彥嘉領前，而Stephane與其剛剛經過發動機重建的阿普利亞RSV4-factory一同出現在賽場上，
但由於一些電子小故障，雖然到最後還是解決了，但最終只能排在第5名。
當所有人都期待一場幹地的比賽時，在離賽事還有一個多小時前卻下起了毛毛細雨。經過賽事管理單位查看賽道後，覺得小雨令到賽道十分濕滑，所以決定將超級摩托車賽事延後在方程式和超跑賽事之後。以使車隊有充足地時間為車輛換上特別準備的米其林濕地專用輪胎。
超級摩托車比賽延至下午4:45並在眾多觀眾的喝彩打氣歡呼下開始，而許多觀眾在雨天還留下的原因就是為了等待這場精彩的賽事。
比賽一開始，Dan,
蘇少雄及Alan立刻拋離主車群取得領前優勢。經過幾圈後，Dan已經佔據絕對性的優勢。蘇少雄則與Alan在第二席位上作激烈的爭奪。Dan採取留力的策略，在最後一圈超過蘇而令對手沒有機會再度超前，最後Alan拿到了全場第二和600cc組別的冠軍。
所有車手們都非常享受整個比賽過程且都有了極為愉快的一天。
BG專業特技車手三毛再一次現出他的拿手超摩特技，使得賽事更具觀賞及娛樂性，令到觀眾熱情再一度高漲。
這幾年來的中國內陸省份城市經濟增長非常的迅速，尤其是四川省會成都，賽車運動產業更在不停的迅速發展。
在房車比賽中，由於有超數位30多輛房車的參賽，使得賽事需分為兩個級別獨立比賽。其他還有中國方程式賽事，而最為人印象深刻的是大量平常難以一見的超級跑車參加了超級跑車的賽事，其中更有從雲南省昆明遠道前來的一些超跑發燒車友。
超級跑車賽事由多輛法拉利，蘭博基尼，阿斯頓
·馬丁，瑪薩拉蒂，梅塞德斯，日產尼桑GTR在賽道上同場競技。
這一切給予賽道和各賽事的組辦單位有了非常好的期望，所有人都感受到這些中國的內陸省份在過去幾年經過中國中央政府的特有開發支持政策，令到它們的經濟不斷的高速發展使很多人民開始致富起來，使到這些地區成為中國最重要的消費市場之一。
我們非常感謝成都國際賽車提供我們組辦這超級摩托車賽事的平臺，並非常期待在10月29-30日的秋季賽中能有更多人的參與。
成都超級摩托車賽事由以下贊助：
- 速馬力機油
-
米其林輪胎
- 超過70%的車手在使用Arlen
Ness/Berik皮衣及護具系列
