Race report from our friends in Germany
74 riders from 7 nations (with up to 1,600km to travel), divided into 10 classes, came to the first round of the KROWDRACE series on August 23rd in Wolfslake (Brandenburg), offering exciting motorsports to the approximately 300 spectators who arrived. Due to Corona only a limited number of registered persons were allowed to enter the area. Last year's winner Maikel Dijkstra (NL) again took the victory in the Pro-class, ahead of the Austrian Yasmin Poppenreiter and young Hannes Köhn from Hamburg. The Italians Nico Sorbo and Sami Panseri not only travelled together from Northern Italy, but also rode head-to-head for victory in the Thunderbike class. The vintage class, which was divided into two groups, was no less exciting. In the "Modern Classics" of Hamburg's Fiete Girardet on Norton, they had a close but fair competition against the Swiss Michel Colaizzi on Triumph and Andreas Steinhofer (Harley Davidson KR, Berlin) and Oliver Betz (Harley Davidson Flat Head, Gerstetten) in the group "True Gold“. From the point of view of the organizers Hermann Köpf and Martin Hüning, it was particularly pleasing that the few crashes went off without a hitch, and that many newcomers not only took to the track on scooters and mopeds, but also that numerous hobby riders from all over Germany dared to enter this up-and-coming motor sport with specially built flat track motorcycles - and experienced the weekend in Wolfslake with a broad grin on their faces and left inspired. Motorsports for everyone, whether beginner or professional, with low entry barriers and lots of good and collegial atmosphere - these are the keywords that best describe the concept behind KROWDRACE.
