Final race in Albacete

2011-11-15 13:12:28

At the second weekend in October, our team raced at the above given race in Albacete, Spain. The weather over the racetrack was good for the motorcycle sport and by all the days spent on the circuit the sun was shining with temperatures reaching high above 20 ° C. Friday's two practices were marked by bad luck because we "managed to" seize the two engines of motorcycles, which had complete overhauls before the race and one was a new engine to test. At Saturday's qualification Karel went on the repaired motorcycle and the battle for the position on the grid stopped in the last round with the fall of our racer, who, a at the beginning of the curve, was pushed off the track by another racer.

The 13th Motor Show in Ústí nad Orlicí

2011-11-15 13:10:42

The number 13 was a lucky number for this Motor show, because it went unexpectedly well. Originally estimated three thousand visitors to the campus of secondary vocational school climbed to more than five thousand! This of course meant unexpected difficulties as for parking places, but the organizers managed everything. At our stand, you could traditionally see both FGR motorcycles. In the morning, the visitors had the opportunity to get a card or a poster signed by our two riders, Tomáš Vavrous and Karel Hanika. We also announced a contest with 20 prizes, which was focused on the knowledge of our racing history.
As every year, the weather was fine and the atmosphere was great. Let's wish that next year it is at least the same.

2011-11-15 13:09:00

The expected end of the season for our team will not be made. Our racer, Karel Hanika got the nomination for the final race at the Spanish circuit because of his fourth place at the Alpe Adria Cup championship. At first, our team decided not to participate for the high financial demands, but last week the Automobile Club took the decision about the distribution of subsidies and so the team MOTO FGR will be the only Czech one in this class to fight for the best possible place. At the European Championship final race, which takes on 8th and 9th October, only the top five racers selected from championships, such as championships of Spain, Germany, Italy, etc. The aim is to grab the best places, each defeated racer is counted.
The race will be preceded by testing in Brno.
