BURIRAM — Moto racers and their fans from various nations will flock to Isaan for the final round of the Asia Road Racing Championship 2016 on Dec. 3.

The competition comes in five classes: SuperSports 600cc, Asia Production 250cc, Underbone 130cc, Asia Dream Cup and Suzuki Asian Challenge.

Considered the Asian Games for motorcycle racing, the Asia Road Racing Championship began in 1996 not only to bring motorcycle champions onto the same platform, but also to provide a stepping stone for national champions.
