Last week we went for Dominik Vincon from Knittlingen in the Superbike IDM to the official kick-off training and then the connection directly to the first race .
From the 28th – 30th April went for the youngster to the final preparatory test of the season 2014.
On these days prevailed absolutely perfect summer weather around 20 degrees with bright sunshine . Thus, the final tuning work really ran perfectly . The new mechanics were able to immediately integrate perfectly in a team also , the collaboration soon running as it did in the previous year perfectly. At the end of the test, the young group , however, was again placed on the sample , as Dominik has filed in the penultimate turn end of the first backstretch at a race simulation with a nasty highside .
Despite the somewhat ledierten bikes the atmosphere in the team is still maintained and the BMW S1000RR by the vehicle home Stilgenbauer was gereichtet again in no time . Consequently, it was “really” the free practice session on the first race weekend are nothing in the way , as has however torn on May 1 on the free Thursday a squall line rain and cold air with it , was complete Friday a reasonable driving at 4Grad Celcius and light rain completely unfeasible . Few teams are driven sporadic rounds , but to make höchstwarscheinlich only function tests.
As it is now Saturday morning was at 9:30 for the first quality Began the season at the start of the Schwabe was a little difficult to ride, it ruled still relatively cool Witterungsverhätnisse , which now threw the complete setup of the tests on the head again . After a few tentative laps , the team was able to agree on the faster lap times for the afternoon kept and finished the quality Began on a temporary accommodation eighth. And when the afternoon a few more degrees were achieved on the thermometer Dominik could fight his way to an acceptable 3rd place in the Superstock 1000 class . In the overall ranking he achieved a 11th place start in a peloton of 29 riders and thus had some superbikes start behind.
Sunday seemed now beginning to warm weather again in strong sunshine something , however, it did only so that after a few hours of sun the sky was again quickly covered by larger clouds. Although there was no precipitation , but the temperatures amounted to about 10 degrees . In the first race our Knittlinger muffed a little the start and was passed slightly to the rear , additionally, it came at him with something crush in the first round still to some other position losses . However, Dominik round after round could fight his way back to third place .
Thus, the connection to the front was no longer einholbar , the distance to the second placed Lucy Glöckner ( GER ) was constant five seconds. The differences in lap times was only a few tenths and hundredths , so letztedlich remained the finish .
The race was won Marco Nekvasil (AUT ) .
In the second race of the day of the start galang much better and Dominik could sit in the first round immediately with the top group . In the second round , however, he came into contact with Lucy Glöckner and this unfortunately went to the ground. Dominik then reported : ” We were both gentle braking at the same height when , but I was in the interior of the curve , you just did not withdrawn That’s racing . ”
In the following rounds , the young Schwabe could still compete to some extent with Marco Nekvasil , but this pace he could not go through the entire race distance and had to end up with a second place ahead of Leon Bovee (NED ) give the third placings satisfied .
Thus , Team BMW Stilgenbauer has now risen into the new season with an impressive start to the season and looks forward to a renewed showdown from 30.05. – 1:06 . in Zolder, Belgium .
With best regards,
Dominik Vincon
