The third edition of the MotoIR Practice Day organized by InsideRACING was a challenging one. It rained at the Carmona Race Track in the morning of November 29 but this did not deter the participants’ riding passion.

The Underbone, Stand Up Scooter, Scooter and MotoIR group riders conquered the wet and slippery track, their riding skills tested and honed during the 5 practice sessions that day. Best lap times in each group were registered in the last session as parts of the track has dried up.
