MotoE Championship – Round 1 at the Nurburgring.
Finally we were able to begin our 2015 eBike series with MotoE and what a fantastic venue to kick this off – Nurbergring!
Here in his own words our rider Fozzy gives us his experience:
The ‘out of scope’ excursion the Southern 100 last month was welcome prelude to the impending MotoE championships..Its been a long wait but it had finally arrived…
With the sad demise of Hotrax some of the MotoE championship rounds lost a host and the series promoter faced a massive task at the eleventh hour to replace the rounds that were originally to be run with with them. The first round originally scheduled to be run at Schleiz with the IDM championships was also lost due to issues again with the host. Happily the MotoE promoter was able to reschedule a round at the Nurburgring, split over the weekend with a GT car race on the historic Nordschleife and the Dortmunder Motorsport club using the GP circuit.. complicated but guess what? We still get to race motorbikes! 🙂
This year we’re riding the Zongshen DC motor prototype (as a satellite team) with support from Zongshen themselves. Unfortunately it’s not the fire-breathing AC motor bike as that is staying in China this year on demo duty being the world championship winning machine from last year.
