Scootentole Magny Cours

10-h Scootentole endurance scooter racing in Magny Cours

10HMC14s

The third endurance, organized by the Association Scootentole and Retro Scooter Nivernais on the long Club track of Magny Cours , entered a new phase:

  • 34 teams at the start,
  • some 130 pilots of
  • six different nationalities.
 The principle : Start on sunday morning at 9:00, finishing 10 hours later. The first under the checkered flag wins. Simple! 

Nice weather , beautiful track , the event is full of promises. Qualifying on Saturday saw the “official teams” confrontation during which , the 225SS Casa Lambretta steals the pole to the swift ” full Quattrini ” liquid cooled Vespa . Right behind , the Team Burzock LML PX 215 Pinasco engine created a surprise by beating the Squadra Corse MitoLambretta (AF Rayspeed RB20 ) and the german Dart Racing Team PK 150 Polini Evo

10HMC14m

On sunday, to the delight of drivers and spectators, right from the beginning of the race, started a track battle wich opposed the best Lambrettas against the best Vepas. On the Lambretta side, within the first hour, the Casa Lambretta boys had a broken crankshaft, while the MitoLambretta Rayspeed AF were still at the forefront, and the Lambretta-Authentik (RT195 MB Dev) was holding the 4th place … before breaking his exhaust. Seems Like Vespas were going to win the fight this year !

Vespa Pugenti Corsa Quattrini leaded ??the race from start to the finish, tremendous for a first participation! For the second place, the battle for the podium between four opponents, saw the Germans of the Dart Racing take the advantage over the French LML-Pinasco-Burzock (third and first largeframe), followed by the Spanish PK Racing Rolando Quattrini, and the Italian team of MitoLambretta. Ranked during a time in the top 5, the PK of SPRT (Quattrini), the PK of PRT-Korona (Falc), the PX Authentik (210 Malossi) and Old Scoot Racing (Parmakit 177), and the small Pinasco VSP21, due to falls or mechanical problems, were forced to back down into the rankings. … Despite the long track (tough for engines) and the hot sun, most teams classified in the first part of the ranking table, were those who experienced no major mechanical problems !

As previous years, this event went perfectly well, and what a pleasure to see the joy of the teams who managed to cross the finish line. This race is already a classic. The organizers hope that, a probable extension of the grid to 45 teams would make things even more exciting! See you next year !

Mirecourt Vespa & Lambretta racing 2014 in France

Vespa Rennen und ESC Opening in Mirecourt 2014

Challenge+Mirecourt+2014+531

TAKING A CORNER WITH 135km/h ON A VESPA

About 120 riders had registered, and most of them arrived as early as Thursday to start training on the track.
Speaking of which, the novelty for 2014 was a new high-speed curve before the straight line. This configuration change allowed some of the fastest drivers to go as fast as 135km/h !

With light rain showers on the Friday, the weather improved along the week-end and the Saturday was a great day for racing, with no severe accident, on a dry track.

LADY RACING

t should be noted that the girl-class (C7/K7) had 13 participants and the C2S/K5 had 39 drivers !!
