Buriram is again in the global sporting spotlight with the SBK World Championship series staging their second meeting in two years at Thailand’s Chang International Circuit this weekend. Convoys of container trucks have been arriving over the past few days loaded with superbikes from all the major manufacturers and international teams along with all the extra flights coming into Buriram Airport with media and fans from all over the world, giving the city a great buzz.
The girls rehearse on the track ready for the weekend
Hotels have been fully booked for months and all bars and restaurants have been packed for the last few nights and will continue to be over the next few days. This is a great boost to the economy for the area as well as being an exciting event for motor sport enthusiasts
Thailand have three wildcard riders (main photograph above) that hope to make it onto the podium. The Buriram Times Sports team ( Colin, Steve, Frank, and Lucky) will be at the Media Centre, in the pits and right on the race track to bring you up to date with the action.
A great weekend of motorsport ahead
