Racing in Germany

Wera,
Wanted to see if you could provide me with some information. I will be moving to Germany February 2013 and have been trying to find information on club racing similar to WERA. Haven’t had any luck so far with google searches. Any help is appreciated.
Thank you

 

I'll ask my friends Timo and Udo tomorrow who they ride and race with.

What part of Germany you moving to?

 

I'm not excatally sure where in Germany yet. (Military) Thanks Dave. U Da Man :up:

 

I can put you in touch with an Aprilia 250 club racer in Germany, if needed.

 

Any information is better than what I have now motion.

 

I started my racing in Germany back in 2003 while stationed there and also raced the IDM Yamaha R6 Cup in 2006! I've been on and off the scene for a few years due to work, deployments and family obligations!

But Germany has a dozen of Top (Club) Level Racing series! :up:

Here is a few:

Here is a racing forum that American Military/Civilians use:

This should help you get started! :up:

 

Badass Aaron!! Thanks brother for the info.

 

User wera123, Kent Marquess, crews with a team that run in the IDM in Germany. PM him as he is full of all kinds of info regarding club racing. He lives about 3 minutes from Hockenheim. Literally 3 minutes. I need to go visit that fucker.

 

aaron phinney is an ama pro supermoto racer, and is racing in the superbiker race in belgium, and running a round of the dutch pro series. hes based in munich. he runs a club out of maine and owns a supermoto track up there. you can contact him through his track website. i know hes done some road racing there too. but hes primarily a sumo guy now. hes also an ex wera member. you may not hear back form him, but if you do, hes a really really good resource.

Yeah I know Kent, he's a real cool dude...he's Top (American) Mechanic working with Preussler Racing Team in the IDM SSP!:up:

He also helps wrench for the other US Club Racers in Germany!
They just won 1st place (SSP Class) in a 3hr Endurance race @ Nurburgring
this past weekend! :up:

 

Kent's a good dude for sure, but if you leave your bike out at night it'll end up with stickers on it by morning....

 

All good information to have. Thanks WERA.

 

One question I have is how much German does one have to understand to be able to race with those organization?

 

Only when we're drunk.
Besides, that's free horsepower.

 

Not when it's covering my tach where no one else can see it...

 

The majority of the German race Orgs have people who can speak or translate German to English and vice/versa for us Auslanders!

 

Sweet. I only ask because its still on my bucket list to move to Germany.

 

But are the flags all in German? That could be dangerous to have an American on the track!

 

All the main important Flags are the same...Red, Yellow, Blue....Checkers!

Definitely NO 1 & 2 boards then Green Flag on the starts!

Red Lights Out...then Full GAS until Checkers! :up:

 

My local club uses a red flag. Although we do use the boards. So I'm half way ready.
