The weather forecast suggested something good and so the first participants arrived on the legendary area of the kart track in Liedolsheim on Thursday evening. We remember the legendary “RUN & RACE” events in Liedolsheim only too well.

The new classes K7 (moped) and K8 (pit bike) were very well received and we were able to welcome many new faces.

Training on Friday

Despite temperatures around 38 degrees, many did not miss it on Friday and trained throughout the day on the route reserved for us.

You could already see on Friday that the machine, tires and driver were suffering from the hot temperatures. Nevertheless, the drivers' meeting started on Saturday morning at 08:30 a.m., highly motivated.

After training and qualification, the races started after the lunch break at 13 p.m.

Raceday on Saturday

The start was in 4 groups, whereby several classes were combined:

The new classes K7 and K8 started together
and K3 + K6 and the strongest classes Q1 + Q2 + Q4.

The K5 got its own group with an outstanding number of 19 participants.

Simson mopeds from Thuringia

Two participants in the K8 even took the long way from Thuringia on to get on with your Simson mopeds to start. The machines also aroused great interest among Vespa drivers and many "petrol talks" were held.

New participants "Rookies"

We were especially happy about two rookies again.

Julian started with his newly built Vespa in K1. However, he's been on the track for a long time and is still starting in the K8 as a double starter with his moped.

In addition, No. 599 tried its hand at Michi in the very strong field of the K5. Despite a few small falls, he held up bravely and even received the trophy for “Best Rookie”.

Old hands on their own

After a long period of abstinence, two old hands mingled with the participants again.

Falcon started with his PX, which was already there in the first ESC races in the 2000s. Unfortunately, in the first race, after a technical defect and a spectacular highsider, he had to give up the "old" women.

Veit drove with his tested and approved PK on Saturday morning from Stuttgart to Liedolsheim to take part in the race after his warm-up ride with the "bullet". The scooter survived all three races with flying colors and Veit was able to drive home on his own two wheels on Sunday. What an achievement!

Racing at its finest

In the open K1 and limited K4 Smallframe Classes it came back to racing at its best. The four-way battle of the last few years between Achim, Robert, Albert and Marco was enriched in Liedolsheim by the K1 newcomer Valentino Randazzo. These delivered gripping position changes at the top. In the end, Albert had the most physical and driving reserves and secured three impressive race victories. The fastest lap time of last year was clearly undercut again with 52,39s and is now on the level of the old top class K2.

Fastest lap with a moped

Julian Bartsch achieved the fastest time of the day with his 25PS moped with a 52,37s, which shows that there are hardly any differences in speed between the mopeds, pit bikes and scooters among the top drivers and that they work well together.

Winner & Corona Race

Due to the Corona restrictions, the usual party in the evening was unfortunately canceled, but that will certainly be made up for.

Scooter Run & Racing in Italy - Pomposa

ESC, News, racing, Meet & Nighter, Events

Run & Race 2016, Pomposa, Italy - September 16-18.09.2016, XNUMX

That was last weekend Scooter Center drove to the Adriatic coast for the Run & Race finals of the European Scooter Challenge. Thanks to the participation of the British Scooter Sport Organization (BSSO) and several other international drivers, the spectators are offered a good spectacle on the kart track.

With the Lambretta to the Adriatic

Sounds like a vacation, but the vacation is long gone. We had 3.000 kilometers and a few days of hard work in Bella Italia ahead of us. Our bus was packed with equipment and our best bgm parts for that Run & Race Italy

The journey started on Thursday in Cologne. After 1.000 km from Lake Garda, on Friday we drove the remaining 250 km to Pomposa on the Adriatic Sea with the scooters. So on Friday it is time to leave early and the tour group splits up into a tour guide and an escort vehicle. The tour guide is done by two Race Tour Lambrettas with 28 Polini carburetors and the bgm big box:

Lambretta DL 150 with 225 bgm PRO RaceTour
Lambretta LI 150 1st series 195 bgm PRO RaceTour

Tough test drive in the rain and pothole slalom

Test drive in Bella Italia: summer, blue skies and every now and then a stop at the car grill. That's the plan! Half an hour after the start, reality overtakes our wishful thinking. After the motorway tunnel in Verona we drive into the pouring rain. Fortunately, there is no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothing - and we had plenty of that with us!

But nothing helps and until shortly before Pomposa we continue on the Autostrada in the rain.
Fortunately, we did not notice the violent storm directly. Several cars in guard rails and trenches, but give an impression of what must have been going on shortly before us.

Despite the capricious weather conditions and potholes, we are quite brisk. The cruising speed with the motors is around 110 km / h (GPS). The new TomTom Vio shows us the way. Both the bgm motors and the bgm chassis keep what is promised and the journey is quick and easy. The bottom line is a great tour that is a lot of fun.

Big Run & Race in Italy

As the rain stops a bit before Pomposa and the thick cloud cover tears up, we luckily do not arrive completely drenched. The welcome from Rimini Lambretta Centers Marco and the organizers of SIR is warm as usual. After the first cups of white wine, we first move into our luxurious bungalow.

There will be a 'menu' on both evenings. To be honest, we imagined it to be quite different in Italy ... Both evenings will be quite long for Philipp thanks to the super nighters.

The breakfast on Saturday morning is great, unfortunately we don't have much time because the stand needs to be set up and we are excited to see what awaits us. Breakfast by the sea in the best weather.

Thanks to our routine, setting up our stand is quite easy for us - at least for those who were sober in bed before 5 a.m.
Accompanied by the incessant howling of sophisticated scooter motors, we present our bgm product range throughout the day and have many great conversations with old and new friends from:

Italy
Switzerland
Germany
Austria
Greece
England
Cyprus

Our photos from the weekend

RACE - The races

The exciting races take place directly across the street, where fierce battles were held down to the last meter. The Italian teams from CASA Performance and Parmakit dominate the big classes here - LINK bgm TEILE RENNTEAM. Our Austrian friend Stoffi impressively wins the standard class with the Polini engine -> LINK Shop standard class. Michi from the Stoffi team, we hang our camera around - this is what a one-class training session looks like:

RUN - the scooter meeting

Run & Race - there is also a scooter run during the race. The Italian clubs have stands on the grounds of the racetrack and you can buy parts or merchandise, marvel at scooters and talk about petrol everywhere.
The evening events take place on a camping and bungalow park where all participants were accommodated. The announced concert on Saturday is unfortunately canceled, the Open Air Nighter boiled over until the police arrive. The event is spontaneously moved inside and, if the mood is even better, the party will continue until the early hours of the morning.
After an Italian breakfast on Sunday morning, saying goodbye is difficult! But this time the 250 km return journey lies ahead of us in the most beautiful sunshine. For the last part we leave the motorway and take a scenic route through the hinterland and mountains. We reach our base camp on Lake Garda in a good mood. We still had a lot to do here:

Am third weekend of September takes place in Pomposa the final run the European Scooter Challenge (short: ESC - www.eurochallenge.de / www.facebook.com/eurochallenge) instead of. The name and the program pay homage to the legendary Run & Race events of Stonhead SC in Liedolsheim.

SIR (Scooterclubs Italiani Riuniti - www.scooterclubitaliani.com) a joint Italian meeting for the first time. the 1st national Run of SIR so to say.

In addition to the main organizers of the ESC and SIR, the meeting is being massively pushed by Casa Lambretta, Parmakit and the Rimini Lambretta Center. That Scooter Center Of course, we will not miss it and will be there with a bgm stand and catalogs. So what can we expect?

FRIDAY

Friday can be relaxed training on the Pomposa race track. In addition to the ESC drivers, drivers from all other European racing series are also invited. A joint coach is chartered for the drivers of the BSSO and the transport of the racing scooters is also organized and takes place via three central locations in England.

The nighter takes place on Friday evening - like all events (except the races) - in the holiday home Florence instead of. The SIR DJ's will play until the early hours of the morning.

SATURDAY

The ESC finale, that's all you have to say !?

In the evening there will be a joint dinner, the concert of THE BEAT followed by a nighter. Both open air and with an explosive mix of SIR Scooterists and Austrian and German ESC drivers who are celebrating the end of their racing series. The Dean from Rimini will have hit the nail on the head with his prognosis of a “mental jolly up”.

Admission to the run is € 25 for the whole weekend (€ 20 for SIR members, ESC and BSSO drivers).

You can find information about the cost of the race here: www.eurochallenge.de.

ACCOMMODATION

The holiday home is two kilometers from the racetrack Florence. You can share one of the bungalows with several people at low cost. With its own swimming pool, beach, beauty spa, two restaurants and other unusual amenities, the extension of the stay before and or after the race is almost a necessity.

Run and Race # 11, Scooter Run and ESC races in Liedolsheim 2013

ESC, Lambretta, News, racing, Events, Vespa, Vespa videos, Videos

From May 31.05st - 02.06.2013 the annual meeting of the Stoneheads took place again in Liedolsheim.

Usually the region is subject to the Liedolsheim go-kart track not the meteorological conditions. This meeting has always shone in the last few years with blazing sun and summer temperatures.

This year, however, it was literally “land under”. Continuous rainfall and heavy rain at night were on the program for the 11th Run and Race.

In the party tent, of course, the party continued until the early hours of the morning.

On Saturday, the actual day of the race, after a sobering look into the paddock, ...

At the driver briefing, the planned start of training was postponed due to the weather conditions. In the meantime, attempts have been made to drain the route with drainage holes that were excavated by specially provided excavators and to drain the fire brigade's submersible pumps.

An undertaking that was made difficult by the constant rain. In the end, around 11:00 the first brave ones were able to swim a lap on the track ...

Unfortunately, the joy only lasted for a short time - due to increasing rain, the route was closed again at 11:30.

While the water was a source of annoyance for the drivers on the route, it was a source of joy elsewhere….

The planned endurance race was canceled without replacement so that a reasonable schedule could still come about despite all the adverse circumstances and the race day could be carried out in accordance with the rules. After the rain stopped around 13 p.m., we were also able to put our P00 test bench into operation.

At least a little contrast program for all those who like angry engine sound and the smell of 2-stroke oil.

Then finally, around 15:00 p.m., after a short qualifying session for all drivers, all ESC classes were able to carry out 2 rated runs each.

And when the sun broke through the clouds for the first run of the K1, the racing world was all right again.

In addition, here are a few on-board impressions from Isa and Philipp:

And finally ...

Another successful one from the Stoneheads. Despite all the adversities, it was great fun!
