Nepal’s top motorcycle racers put speed and skill to test in Banepa

Motorcyclists showcased their speed and racing prowess in Banepa during the second round of the Nepal Road Racing Championship. The event, held at Chandeshwori Driving School, featured riders from both novice and national categories competing on a temporary circuit.

Organized by Motor Sports Nepal and the Nepal Automobiles’ Association, the championship is an annual series designed to bring together the country's leading riders and emerging talent. Competitors raced on identical Yamaha R15 motorcycles, ensuring that the outcome was determined purely by the riders' talent, strategy, and precision, rather than any mechanical advantage.

The championship consists of 20 laps, where riders navigate sharp corners and accelerate down short straights. This format tests their racecraft and cornering skills under competitive conditions. Organizers highlighted that the event serves a dual purpose: promoting professional motorcycle racing within Nepal and offering a safer, regulated platform as an alternative to illegal street racing.

By providing a structured environment for competition, the championship also acts as a development ground for local talent, allowing aspiring racers to hone their skills and gain experience in a professional setting.
