Vespa Racing Mirecourt Challenge Scootentole France

TAKING A CORNER WITH 135km/h ON A VESPA

Mirecourt Vespa & Lambretta racing 2014 in France

It was a great edition of the now classic Challenge Scootentole Mirecourt, 2014 ESC season opening, where the best vintage scooter drivers from Europe gathered together on the long weekend of the 31st of May.

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 !!

LUCKY DRAW

After the podium, the lucky-draw sponsored by SCK, and the famous “apero”, Saturday night party was improvised at the last minute and proved again to be a great way to have people binding together.
