    Rennen! Races! Vitesse! Racing Circuits Netherlands Belgium Germany Austria Luxembourg Switzerland Rob Semmeling Rennen! Races! Vitesse! Page 2 Contents Foreword 3 Netherlands 5 Belgium 44 Germany 78 Austria 133 Luxembourg & Switzerland 148 Copyright © Rob Semmeling 2009-2016 / all rights reserved www.wegcircuits.nl Rennen! Races! Vitesse! Page 3 Foreword Motorsport essentially consists of three ingredients. First, you need a motor vehicle - which can be anything from a Formula 1 car to a lawn mower, or from a MotoGP motorcycle to a pocket bike. Second, you need a driver or rider to operate the vehicle, and finally, a place to go racing - a circuit. To most people this last ingredient is probably the least interesting. The number of books about famous racing drivers and cars, or great riders and their motorcycles, is far larger than the number of books about racing circuits. However, to me circuits are the most interesting aspect of motorsport, for two main reasons. First is their great diversity: in terms of shape, layout, length, difficulty, fame and many other factors, every circuit is different, and each has its own story to tell. Second, it is fascinating to see just how many circuits there are. Once you start looking, you can find them just about any- where. Finding lost circuits or discovering long-forgotten tracks is one of the most fun aspects of researching racing circuits. When looking for information about racing circuits online, I often found it frustrating that the available sources were not complete, and that they often lacked detail and accuracy. This is one of the reasons why I started my website www.wegcircuits.nl and why I made Rennen! Races! Vitesse! - a downloadable pdf-file that lists racing circuits of past and present in four European countries: the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany and Austria.

  • Erinnerungen an Eine Kurze Aber Strahlende Rennfahrerkarriere, Teil
    59 Das internationale Solitude Rennen in Stuttgart am 21. Juni 1953 4. Lauf zur deutschen Motorradmeisterschaft Gustl Hobl auf einer 250er Werks-DKW Nicht weit entfernt von der Rennstrecke eine Mauer sowie ein Begrenzungsstein. Wehe dem, der ausgerechnet an dieser Kurve stürzt. Für heutige Rennen undenkbar. 60 Die 250er DKW-Werksmaschine konnte im Training die Zeiten der schnellen NSU-Fahrer Haas und Daiker nicht erreichen. Wünsche, Hofmann und Hobl lagen mit ihren besten Trainingszeiten an 4., 5. Und 6. Position. Im Rennen selber wurde es schon fast als eine Sensation angesehen, dass Wünsche und Hobl das Tempo der NSU-Renner halten konnten. Die Ingolstädter Werksfahrer hatten offensichtlich den Ehrgeiz, ihr altes Prestige der Klassenbeherrschung wieder zurückzuerobern, und NSU hatte wohl den Willen, sich die 250er Klasse für die Zukunft zu sichern. Der Vierkampf von Haas und Daiker gegen Wünsche und Hobl war großartig. Was Haas und Daiker im aufsteigenden Gelände und auf Geraden herausholten, machten Wünsche und Hobl im kurvenreichen Gelände wieder wett. Diese Hetzjagd bekam der Maschine von Haas gar nicht gut, sie wurde langsamer, so dass Wünsche auf den 2. Platz vorrücken konnte, und dem ausgezeichnet fahrenden Hobl gelang es in der letzten Runde ebenfalls, an Haas vorbeizukommen. Der junge Hobl bewies nun abermals, dass er als Nachwuchsfahrer das Vertrauen seiner Vorgesetzten rechtfertigen und eine wertvolle Ergänzung neben Wünsche und Hofmann war und auch Kluge und Gustl Hobl nach dem Rennen in Felgenheier ausgezeichnet vertreten konnte. der250er Klasse In der 350er Klasse setzte sich erwartungsgemäß Siegfried Wünsche an die Spitze und zur allgemeinen Überraschung folgte ihm Hobl nach.

After the unexpected success and positive response that we received from our inaugural issue which we released a few months back, it looks like Bator Interna- tional, inc. is now embarking on a new path as publishers! This on line magazine got its start as a Skype conver- sation between me and my associate, John Thow, while working on the batorinternational.com website. We both agreed that we have so many cool and interesting things going on at Bator International, Inc. that why not put it in print and share it with our friends. To put together an on line magazine that is news worthy and well received is not an easy task as it takes a multi- tude of talents, some of which we never knew we pos- sessed, working hard to bring everything together.

  • Erinnerungen an August Hobl Seiten 122 Bis 178.Pdf
    122 VIII. KapitEl 123 Die Rennsaison 1956 Trotz der guten Rennerfolge im Rennjahr 1955 wurde der Himmel über Ingolstadt von dunklen Wolken überschattet. Auto Union erzielte gute Verkaufserfolge mit ihren Autos, aber der Verkauf von Motorrädern ging drastisch zurück. Es war die Zeit, in der die Leute vom Zweirad auf Personenwagen umstiegen. Gustl Hobl erinnert sich noch sehr gut an diese Zeit: “Unser Werk wollte sich angesichts nicht mehr guter Verkaufsergebnisse im Zweiradgeschäft weder an nationalen noch an internationalen Renngeschehen beteiligen. Als Karl Hofmann und ich nach Schweden zu einem Rennen in Kristianstat fuhren, erzählte uns der dortige schwedische Importeur, dass er 300 unverkaufte Motorräder noch vorrätig hätte. Ein Sieg, so meinte er, würde wohl helfen, das Geschäft wieder zu beleben. Wir waren erfolgreich in den Rennen und erfuhren später, dass der Importeur alle seine Maschinen verkauft hatte. Das Auftreten mit unseren DKW-Rennmaschinen hatte sich doch letztlich gelohnt und war eine Werbung für unsere Marke. Professor Eberan von Eberhorst, unser technischer Direktor und verantwortlich für die Rennabteilung, konnte schließlich auch seine Vorstandkollegen für ein erneutes Rennsportengagement positiv beeinflussen, als er sagte: DKW befindet sich im Motorradsport auf dem Weg zur Weltspitze…Allerdings musste er sich mit einem erheblich verkleinerten Budget zufrieden geben. Dass wir nun tatsächlich auf dem Weg zur Weltspitze waren, beweist das damalige Vorhaben des Moto- Guzzi-Rennleiters und zweimaligen Weltmeisters Fergus Anderson, der die 350er DKW probeweise fahren wollte und sich sogar an einer Zusammenarbeit, ebenso wie Cecil Sandford, mit DKW interessiert zeigte. Sein tödlicher Unfall mit einer BMW in Belgien machte jedoch dies zunichte und durchkreuzte auch die Pläne von Professor Eberan.

I hope members will respond to this initiative by sending renewal subscriptions directly to Membership Regis- trar’s, Pete and Viv Oulton… competitors appreciate and deserve our support.
