HOT LAP - Is a first ever motorcycle TV game show

Superbike racing is the art of racing production motorcycles on closed tracks.

Production motorcycles meaning bikes that are readily available from a retailer subjected to minimal modifications. While MotoGP is accessible to an elitist group of trained riders, piloting prototype motorcycles, superbike racing is available to ANYONE with a street bike + 250 bucks to pay for a track day.

In the spirit of superbike racing, enter HOT LAP a new TV motorcycle gameshow http://esr.cc/wiC7B3 coming soon to Canada and the US. Here's how it works...
