It’s a perfect describer of Suzuki’s first-generation GSX-Rs. Because if ever there was a ‘radically new’ motorcycle, or one that was ‘beyond established principles,’ it was Suzuki’s 1985 GSX-R750 – and the GSX-R1100 that followed in ’86. As one motorcycle journalist wrote in 1985, “Sportbikes will soon be divided into two categories: before the GSX-R, and after.” Nicely put. The instant it debuted in late 1984 at Germany’s Cologne show, the GSX-R750 electrified the motorcycle world. Few in attendance, or those who read about the bike in motorcycle magazines in later months, could fully absorb the bike’s radical full-fairing look, its astounding dry weight, or the idea that careful and conservative Suzuki had built – and planned to sell! – what was basically a road racer with lights. It certainly looked the part. With its clip- ons, dual headlights, ultra-lithe aluminum chassis and purposeful, business-only stance, the GSX-R appeared as if it might have rolled into the viewing hall after an hour-long endurance-race session at LeMans or Suzuka.

Randy Mamola
Randy Mamola Divenuto professionista a soli 16 anni, Randy esordì nel Motomondiale nel 1979 in sella ad una Yamaha 250, con la quale conquistò 3 podi e chiuse il campionato in quarta posizione. Amava guidare la moto fidandosi solo del suo istinto e senza mai calcolare nulla: sorpassi impossibili, staccate incredibili, intraversate, fumate di gomme e pieghe oltre i limiti della fisica erano all’ordine del giorno. Rischiava molto e spesso, anche quando non era necessario. Sull’asciutto e sul bagnato, di cui era uno spe - cialista. Con gomme nuove e con gomme finite. E fu proprio per questa sua spiccata propensione al rischio che Randy Mamola, a differenza dei suoi illustri conterranei, rimase un Re senza corona. Suzuki, Honda, Yamaha, Cagiva e ancora Yamaha. In tredici stagioni nella classe regina corse prati - camente con tutte le moto, raccogliendo 13 vittorie e 54 podi. Peccato solo per quel titolo mondiale più volte sfiorato, ma mai arrivato. Nel 1980 fu Kenny Roberts a negarglielo, nel 1981 Marco Lucchinelli, nel 1984 Eddie Lawson e nel 1987 Wayne Gardner. Generoso in pista e nella vita, nel 1986 Randy cominciò a raccogliere fondi per Save the Children, un’associazione che si occupa tuttora dei bambini africani. E fu proprio durante uno dei suoi viaggi in Africa che notò qualcosa che lo colpì profondamente: le motoci - clette venivano utilizzate per il trasporto di medicinali e di apparecchiature mediche. Ma o c versavano anche in pessime condizioni. Questo lo c spinse, dieci anni più tardi, a fondare assieme ad altre a persone Riders for Healt, una onlus che si occupa di for - b a nire moto e addestramento tecnico per la loro manuten - T zione in Africa.

Classic Bike Magazine/AHRMA West Coast Historie Series, reported by Mike Nicks EIGHT-times world Champion Phil Read enjoyed his most successful ride since his entry into classic competition when he took third place in the 500cc Premier race at the Budweiser/Nissan 200 meeting at Laguna Seca, California. ‘That’s given me a lot of confidence,’ said the 47-year-old former MV and Yamaha works rider, who was entered on a Team Obsolete Matchless G50. ‘Now I need a faster engine,’ he added, only half jokingly. Team manager Robert Iannucci, who had seen Dave Roper win the race on another Obsolete G50, agreed with Read: ‘Phil probably had the last of our Standard engines. He could definitely have used a little more motor.’ The meeting, attended by more than 40,000, formed a round of the AMA Superbike national championship, and gave classic machines two races on the Saturday, one on the Sunday and a parade. Organised by AHRMA (American Historie Racing Motorcycle Association), CVRG (California Vintage Racing Group) and VROOM (Vintage Racers of Old Motorcycles), the events formed part of the Classic Bike Magazine West Coast Historie Series. A Champion was to be decided from performances in the 500cc Premier races at Laguna and the Sears Point, California, AMA national in late August.

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.

Gli Amici Di Claudio 2014
GLI AMICI DI CLAUDIO 2014 Varese, 6 May 2014 - At Schiranna, the home of MV Agusta, it's all coming together for the grand gathering to be held on 18 May at the legendary factory on the shores of Lake Varese. “GLI AMICI DI CLAUDIO” is a massive event that will see enthusiasts of Aermacchi, Cagiva and MV Agusta - three awesome motorcycle brands that have succeeded each other since 1950 - descend en masse on the factory near Varese. First started by Aermacchi, the tradition of excell ence was successfully continued by Cagiva and is now being carried forwards by MV Agusta with superb sales and racing results. Moreover, the production plant will also be opening its doors to fans of Husqvarna and Ducati, two brands that were bought, saved and put back on the road to success by the company headed by Castiglioni. Sunday 18th May will, then, be a day of festivities dedicated to the memory of Claudio Castiglioni, the President of MV Agusta and founder of Cagiva who passed away in summer 2011. In November 1978 Cagiva arose from the ashes of the glorious Aermacchi, which had been manufacturing at Schiranna since 1950. Cagiva continued the dual Aermacchi traditions of mass production and competitive racing, winning over the market thanks to models that proved to be outstanding on account of their excellent technical features, handling and style. Following the success of Cagiva, Claudio Castiglioni proved his unique entrepreneurial skills yet again by bringing the glorious MV Agusta brand back from the brink and relaunching it on the market.

Ducati Museum
Ducati Museum Past and future, challenges and successes, vision and determination: the Ducati Museum is a journey through the legendary 90-year history of the Company, renowned across the world for its style, performance and the search for perfection. Each product is a work of art. A story told using language composed of shapes and colours, emphasised by delicate, ethereal staging. An intense adventure, in which every bike exhibited becomes a true work of art to be experienced. The new Ducati Museum is characterised by its very modern concept, in which the colour white dominates so as to ensure that the product takes centre stage, with no distractions. Each bike exhibited is a work of art, a story told using a language composed of shapes and colours and emphasised by dedicated installations. In addition, the new Ducati Museum exudes the Ducati brand identity of Style, Sophistication and Performance. With its new look, the Ducati Museum is a journey through legendary Ducati history, to the heart of a company in which every product is conceived, designed and created to provide unique emotions. The new Ducati Museum has an entire area dedicated to some of the most iconic road bikes that have contributed to making the company’s history so great. And it is here that the story of the so-called “production bike” is recounted in its entirety, or rather, the conception and development of the project in very particular technological, economic and social contexts. This leads to the Museum’s new narrative, developed according to three paths: the history of Ducati production bikes and the social and cultural context in which they are conceived; the racing history with exhibits including race bikes and winners’ trophies, and finally the ‘Ducati heroes’, or rather the Ducati riders themselves.

Press Information
PRESS INFORMATION MICHELIN CELEBRATES 400 VICTORIES Michelin scored its 400th premier class motorcycle Grand Prix win at Jerez in Spain last weekend as Marc Marquez took victory in Sunday’s MotoGP™ race which saw the French company reach an incredible milestone. Michelin joined the 500cc World Championship in 1973 and recorded its first victory at the famous Isle of Man TT course as Jack Findlay from Australia raced to victory in the Senior Tourist Trophy event on a Suzuki. The introduction to Grand Prix led Michelin to create bespoke motorcycle racing tyres in 1974, prior to that they had been derived from road tyres, and this innovation led to the first slick tyre being used in 1975, a move which led to Barry Sheene winning for the first time on a slick at the Assen TT in The Netherlands that year. Sheene grew on this success and took Michelin’s first 500cc World Championship in 1976, a feat he repeated in 1977, which also saw Michelin win every race in the premier class. Success continued with world titles and more landmarks, such as Michelin’s innovative radial tyre making its racing debut in 1984. The first victory for a radial front came at the second round of that year during the Nations GP at Misano in Italy, as Freddie Spencer took the top step of the podium, followed by the first victory for a completely radial shod machine - front and rear – later that season, when Randy Mamola won the San Marino Grand Prix at Mugello. Between the years of 1986 and 1989 Michelin took a clean sweep of all the Grand Prix classes, with victory in the 500cc, 250cc 125cc and 80cc championships, but it was in the premier class that the wins continued to grow.
