RACE REPORT: Sultans of Sprint Race 3 ? Glemseck 101
?
Written by Andrew Jones
The Glemseck 101 event in Germany’s Leonberg describes itself as a motorcycle ?happening?. Now while that may conjure up images of naked, badly painted hippies dancing to experimental synthesiser music, the last 10 years have proven it to be a lot more interesting than the moniker may suggest. Hell, it’s probably running neck and neck with Wheels & Waves to be the best motorcycle show in the whole world. So what could they do to up their game even more" How about having the Sultans of Sprint come over for a little nitrous-fueled playtime"
Of course, this isn’t something new. The Sultans have been partying at Glemseck for quite a few years now. And being the third race in the event’s season, it can prove to be quite a tough one for the bikes. With plenty of stresses and strains already placed on their lithe little frames and handmade mechanicals, it’s often third time lucky for those pesky racing gremlins.
But with the heat of Spa now a distant, sweaty memory, it was the event’s stupendous crowds that proved to be the biggest challenge. But crowds were no match for the BMW?s offerings, which killed it with their incredible efforts and professionalism. And they were just one of the event?s myriad of loud, two-wheeled highlights.
