SUPERBIKE*IDM Sidecar weiterhin mit 1000ccm - Reglement

[Malcolm]

The interest group chuck wagon racing is e.V. remain, according to the Board with respect to the motors during Stocksport-regulating element and thus further aggregates with 1000 cubic (four-cylinder) and 1200 cubic (two-cylinder) in the International German Motorcycle Championship running.
This one defies the relatively quick and hastily amended regulations on the part of the World Cup organizing the FIM, who had announced at the end of August Speed ​​Week in Oschersleben the new regulating element for 600 CC F1 teams.

In various discussions had been found that most of the teams, this also comprises most Dutch and Belgian team teams are against such a rule change.
The high cost of retrofitting would be disproportionate to the benefits.
The motivations of this capacity and power reduction was justified by the proponents so that there has been in the past several serious accidents.
Furthermore, it was shown that the passenger of the brutal power delivery of the originating from the supersport motorcycles of various manufacturers aggregates are no longer grown.

The IGG e.V. vehemently contradicts here. No accidents in recent years is demonstrably arisen due to the 1,000 cc engines, this was clearly confirmed by the custom built for court cases after accidents.
The argument arising to the passenger (s) forces would no longer be controllable, is clearly wrong.
This refuted the young Finnish Kirsi Kainulainen just last weekend impressively. With her partner Pekka Päivarinta she took for the first time in the history of the sidecar sport as a woman for the world title in 2016 to Finland !!!

How absurd this measure precisely the present time, was the demonstration of the Birchall brothers with a 600 CC F1 team during Speed ​​Week. Only slightly slower on the straights they showed the potential of a lighter and built with deeper focus F1-600 in the curve, so that they were visible faster than F1-1000cc Harnessed what definitely brings higher burdens for the passenger with him.

If the FIM officials who have probably never taken in a Sidecar place of some men a change in favor of security have demanded so was the conversion to 600 CC engines in no case the right way.
Here specialists are in demand, the standing despite stressful situations and under pressure to act there right where need exists and this also vehemently! -also before the men of FIM. or someone has a limitation of GP Motorcycles perhaps demanded by the fatal accidents, for example Marco Simoncelli or Louis Salom on 750 CC?
So sad were these two deaths, there are other and better ways to make racing safer! What about the safety of the race tracks, why are airbag suits or airbag jackets not required, the dreaded Highsider are to avoid entirely. ...?

Still not thought of in the transition to 600 CC engines has apparently, that some manufacturers and also the two-cylinder Group is simply before the door. Under unfavorable conditions, namely when the Japanese producers set the construction of the 600cc aggregates because of the difficult hurdle "Euro four", the Sidecar World Championship was dead.

But then each team would be welcome in the IGG in SUPERBIKE * IDM - !!

Is that saying that IDM will stay 1000 or that the IGG wish it to? Who are the IGG Malcolm, sorry I'm not really up on the German organisation set up.

[Phil Davies]

Steve,
To paraphrase in blunt english,
stuff the uninformed people that randomly change rules without negotiation, we are staying 1000cc because we support the current racers.
Come race with us!

Or something very close!

[steve-e]

Thank you! So it definitely is?

[christian_r]

Yes, it's fixed: IDM with 1000 ccm in 2017 and normally also in 2018
