Vespa races at the Nürburgring

Classic Race at the Nürburgring scooter race

Last weekend the 19th run of the “Cologne Course” from MSC Porz took place.

We from SCOOTER CENTER TEAM were again represented in large numbers.

After the final preparations and joint inviting of all the equipment and the racing scooters on Saturday morning, it was finally around 14:30 p.m. towards the ring. Once there, we met many familiar faces. The large CONTINENTAL TENT, the grill, the racing scooters etc. were quickly unloaded and set up.

Nürburgring Classic Scooter Race 2009 Scooter race on the Nürburgring

After the technical acceptance, transponder assembly and the legendary driver briefing, the final preparations were made on the scooters.

Luckily got that SCOOTER CENTER TEAM still the box no. 25. So the very rainy Saturday evening with a barbecue under the tent, music and the typical gasoline conversations was a complete success for those present from the Classic Scooter racing scene.

It wouldn't be the ring if it weren't for rain and sun on a weekend, an old Nürburgring rabbit once told me. The same thing happened on Sunday at 8:00 a.m. with the first coffee it was still quite humid and punctually at 10:00 a.m. for training it was nice and dry.

Almost all of our 12 scooters got through more or less well, but even our “T-Roller” was still used.

Fortunately, a lot of spectators came to the ring. Many familiar faces from the scooter scene were present. Overall, drivers from all parts of Germany but also from AT, GB, BE, FR and even Canada were represented.

Vespa races at the Nürburgring

Scooter Center successful and with a lot of fun at the start

At about 14:00 the start finally took place, the one with a
- 2nd place in regularity,
- the fastest "girl scooter" and
- with 12 scooters from 70 starters, on our part
was generally very satisfactory. We are already looking forward to the next race.

Greetings to all contributors - see you soon and get well soon to start number 6.

Oliver Kluger Vespa Racing Nurburgrin 2009

Scooter race on the Nürburgring 2009

Since 2004, regular scooter races have taken place on the Nürburgring again.

We owe this opportunity to the MSC Porz, who offers a “regularity run” for classic scooters as part of the Cologne course. For most of us that means: evenly full throttle! ;-)

The SCOOTER CENTER has been represented by the racing team every year since 2004.

On Saturday was heavy rain in the dry SCOOTER CENTER Box grilled and screwed in the paddock.
We were able to greet many friends and familiar faces again. The hard core was swept out of the box at 1:30 - after all, the first training session was scheduled for 10:40 on Sunday.

 

Sunday came up with the best weather. During training we had 20 minutes to determine the fastest drivers and then to determine the starting grid. In the first row of the grid there were 1 starters from SCOOTER CENTER Team (Harry Barlow & Christian Schneider).

If the weather was fine, repairs and maintenance work could be carried out in the open air after the first training session. After the SCK grill had given everything again at noon, the race started.

The Green Hell took its toll: of 65 starters, only 45 made it to the finish (cancellations, no accidents)

The SCOOTER CENTER Team was able to record several successes:

Place 2 Christian Schneider (Regularity evaluation)
Tanya Kluger - fastest woman in the field ;-)

The next appointment at the Nürburgring for classic scooters is September 13 “Renoldus Sprint”

The SCOOTER CENTER is looking forward to it!

 

TS1After a long back and forth between Gilardoni and AF Rayspeed about the future of the legendary TS1 cylinder, it was probably the precarious economic situation that led to the TS1 being reissued.
He's been back this morning available to us. In the usual Gilardoni quality. With the one for the RB22 kit improved piston with two 1 mm thin rings and the thousandfold proven quality.
So: who has not yet, or wants to go again? SHOP
The battery holder is overrated anyway ;-)

logoJean-Yves Pignal started in Paris on April 1st and will be on his Travel over 10 months to Vietnam.
And that with a 30 year old Vespa TS.

The SCOOTER CENTER accompanies him: His scooter was technically based on this trip with parts from the SCOOTER CENTER Program prepared. It goes without saying that the best quality and reliability are very important on this trip ... Jean Yves, among others, has decided to cross the Kundjerab Pass at an altitude of 4.762 meters.
We support Jean-Yves on his tour with a parts service and he will share this fantastic journey with us with his reports. Of course we are happy to pass this on:

The most famous Lambretta of all goes to Aberdeen.

big5277The original T5 exhaust from Piaggio is back!

"The classic, not a bad choice for the tuning cylinder either."

The original exhaust of the PX / T5 models is unbeatable in terms of quality. Very thick sheet metal and neat workmanship justify the higher price compared to the replica systems.

It is also interesting how well the original exhaust performs in a direct comparison of performance. Compared to a hand-made resonance system, it lacks up to 4 kW of peak power, but it is in the Bandwidth absolute favorite. If you want to build a touring engine that will drive from here to Timbuktu, you will hardly be able to get past the original exhaust. In many cases, maximum ground clearance and very low consumption are factors that should not be underestimated.

Conclusion: The classic, not a bad choice for the tuning cylinder either.
