What is the “Moto Festival”?

Enjoyable event to run on the Grand Prix course with mini bikes

Concept of the Moto Festival

Concept of the Moto Festival

"Moto Festival" started in 2021 with the motto "A festival for everyone to enjoy BIKE together."
It is a category of mini bikes called 4-stroke mini bikes, and the regulation allows anyone aged 12 and over to participate. In the Moto Mini 6 Hours, up to 6 Riders and 6 pit crew members can be registered, so families and friends can invite each other and enjoy together. A major feature is that the fastest person does not necessarily win, due to mini-games during the run and fuel economy calculations based on refueling restrictions. Penalties are imposed for times that are too fast. For those who want to compete in speed, a sprint race called "Moto Mini NEO STANDARD" is held on Saturdays.
This is a 20-lap sprint race that can be entered by 1 to 2 participants, and 2-stroke vehicles are also allowed. Let's have a great time at the "Moto Festival," an introductory event to motorsports that everyone can enjoy.
* An MFJ competition license is required to participate. Please check the special regulations for details.

Machine Description

Machine Description

The participating machines in the "Moto Mini 6 Hours" are subject to the rule that states, "vehicles with a 4-stroke engine with a displacement of 100cc or less that are commercially available for public roads (those with domestic type certification) and sports-specific vehicles recognized by the secretariat as having the same body structure as commercially available public road vehicles with a displacement of 100cc or less." Therefore, there are many entries for vehicles that are specially recognized by the secretariat (YAMAHA/TTR90, Honda/XR100R, CRF100F, XR80, XR70, XR50, CRF50, Z50R, DREAM50R). Additionally, modifications to the frame and other parts are strictly prohibited (though some modifications for mounting fairings are allowed), but it is permitted to change to a manufacturer-shipped engine of the same type with a displacement of 100cc or less that can be swapped on with bolts. Therefore, modifications such as installing the engine from a Honda APE100 into a Honda DREAM50R are officially recognized. Furthermore, regarding wheel size, there is a regulation that states, "the rim size of the wheel must be 12 inches or larger," but vehicles that originally come with a size of 12 inches or less can participate if they are changed to 12 inches or larger. As a result, many teams using vehicles like the Honda Monkey/Gorilla or vintage cars that meet the above regulations also participate. Additionally, by standardizing the carburetor diameter to φ22 and prohibiting the use of water-cooled engines and fuel injection, a certain level of equal conditions is maintained, which can be considered a significant feature of the vehicles participating in the "Moto Mini 6 Hours."
