There is no F1 racing circuit in Thailand (yet). But, motor racing is a sport that is becoming very popular with Thais and the expats who live here.
This guide is for anyone who enjoys Bira car motor racing in Pattaya and other speed oriented sports, such as motocross, drag racing, and various motorsports.
Last time we checked, the only car racing track in or near Pattaya, is the Bira International Circuit.
Other than being a bona fide car racing track, it also hosts Go Karting events, and boasts a full service for such vehicles.
But, here's the thing:
There are other venues where racing enthusiasts can go, such as the annual Speed Festival in Bang Saen, Chon Buri.
We also find examples of regular motor cycle racing events, and training courses for novice racing motorcycle drivers.
There are facilities for 4x4 off-road vehicles, and some race tracks offer facilities for rally, karting, and testing systems for dirt track driving.

They will rent out the race track on a daily basis (exclusive or on a shared basis). Even so, several car racing schools already operate at the Bira Race Track.
The courses are a great way to feel the thrill and excitement of a genuine racing car. In a nutshell, if it has wheels, you can race it or test it out on the Bira Circuit.
Pro Tip: There are full facilities available at the venue, including a good café for refreshments and the social gathering with like-minded folk.
