#sultansofsprint #glemseck101
The 2019 Sultans of Sprint #FactoryClass & #FreakClass Challenges kicked off with the final races at Glemseck 101 in Leonberg, Germany over the weekend of 30th, 31st august & 1st September. Very hot temperatures & sunny weather were the perfect conditions for the Sultans of Sprint finals on the legendary Solitude racetrack.
Glemseck 101 confirmed again to be the largest motorcycle open air festival in Germany with a massive crowd to visit the different exhibition places as well as the sprint races organized as every year on a perfect straight line.
The very spectacular racing from all Sultans of Sprint racers in both classes – and on their equally super spectacular machines – promises that we are in for an other awesome final round, which is bound to be full of surprises.
Here’s your round-up of Round 3 of these two Sultans of Sprint classes , along with the results from each class for the overall Sultans of Sprint 2019 season!
A complete technical control has been performed on Friday by the Glemseck 101 Crew to check on all bikes that they were compliant regarding safety. The Sultans of Sprint Race Crew has checked all bikes with a special focus on the Factory Class bikes.
All Sultans of Sprint Factory Class bikes were on top controlled to ensure they were perfectly fullfilling the power to weight ratio limitation to guarantee a fair competition between the very different sprintracer concepts involved in this specific class. Again the different teams have perfectly respected the technical requirements.
This Technical Control area was then used as a dedicated space for all contenders to wrench, fix or fine tuned their race bikes during the all week end thanks to the great Rothewald tools supplied by our friends from Louis Motorrad & Motul lubricants were at disposal of all contenders just in case.
BMW Motorrad, Indian Motorcycle, Royal Enfield and Harley Davidson were presenting again their respective teams to show up what their sprintracers were able to on the strip.
Once again the power to weight ratio concept rules appeared again to be very relevant with some very tough battles between the riders to decide who was the fastest. On the german track with a perfect grip, all contenders showed up a high level of skills and great performance with very close results each time.
It was again Philipp Ludwig [GER] from Team Kraftstoffschmiede x BMW Motorrad #54 on his nitrous injected shift cam boxer BMW R1250RS « Achilles » who took the best ahead Curtis Wright riding at his best the Royal Enfield 650GT nitrous injected twin « Two Smoking Barrels » #04 from Team Royal Enfield x Sinroja Motorcycles finishing at a great 2nd place despite the smallest engine of the class with a capacity of 750cc.
Amelie Mooseder [GER] on her BMW R1200R nitrous oxyde injected « Spitfire » from Team VTR Customs x BMW Motorrad #85 finished at an awesome 3rd place for these finals. Amelie showed again that she is a real tough and serious competitor jumping on the bike for a fast run after a little accident on the start ! thumbs up Amy !
The Sultans of Sprint Challenge rewards also the teams for their creativity, their work on their race motorcycle as well as style & other crazy skills (like to perform the best burnouts or to have the loudest bike & rider !)
Sultans of Sprint Best Style Award 2019 presented by Indivisual Creative
The jury made of Indivisual Creative has decided which team had the best style combination bike design & rider outfit. The winner of this award is Indian Motorcycle x Workhorse Speed Shop Team #19 for the amazing work on the bike design as well as the racing outfit from Randy Mamola created by Alpinestars.
The Sultans of Sprint « Party Monster Bonus » was this time a « Mascot Battle » straight after the Awards ceremony of the season and the best way to launch the legendary Sultans of Sprint Party at Glemseck 101.
While Dorsan, our DJ for this season, was spinning once again an outstanding selection of records the Sultans of Sprint party was getting high & hot with most of participants, team members, friends & fans dancing next to the Sultans of Sprint booth until late !
As usual all team members were welcomed in the Sultans of Sprint hospitality for fresh beers, Sailor Jerry shooters and some Monster Energy cans in various flavours to keep partying hard until late (or to recover Sunday morning) !
Taylor Mc Kenzie did extremly well on the super powerful Harley Davidson « SprintGlide » #03. With a new grippy rear tire the racing bagger was faster than ever on the 1/8 mile with its supercharged Milwaukee Eight engine.
Randy Mamola [USA] did his best but this time the Indian 1200 Scout « Appaloosa » suffered from nitrous oxyde injection issues with a solenoïd failure. Using a wet nitrous system the bike was not running fat too rich and hasn’t its normal power level. The Team Indian Motorcycle x Workhorse Speed Shop #19 finished at 5th place.
With double points for the finals the Sultans of Sprint 2019 Factory Class Challenge overall rankings are the following :
Philip Ludwig comments : « I built this project with the support of BMW Motorrad to take the chance to enter the Factory Class. I worked hard after my regular job to create this machine with the help of my friend Kryztof Szews who took care of the bodywork design. I am very thanksful to my family, all the partners & friends involved & for sure my team to have supported me so well this season ! »

#sultansofsprint2019
The 2019 Sultans of Sprint #FactoryClass & #FreakClass Challenges kicked off finally with the races at Cafe Racer Festival in Monthléry, France over the weekend of 21st, 22nd & 23rd June.
Sunny hot weather first summer days were finally bringing the perfect conditions for the Sultans of Sprint after a rainy season opening cancelling the races in Monza.
The very spectacular racing from all contenders old and new in both classes – and on their equally super spectacular machines old and new – promises that we are in for an other memorable season, which is bound to be full of surprises.
Here’s your round-up of Round 2 of these two Sultans of Sprint classes , along with the results from each class so you know who to keep your eye on as the season progresses !
A complete technical control has been performed on Friday by the Sultans of Sprint Race Crew to check on all bikes that they were compliant with the rules on both safety & technical requirements points of view.
FactoryClass bikes were on top controlled on a power bench & weighing machine to ensure they were perfectly fullfilling the power to weight ratio limitation to guarantee a fair competition between the very different sprintracer concepts involved in this specific class.
Philip Ludwig comments : « Years ago I was a mechanic for the BMW BoxerCup and I was a fan of Randy Mamola who was the ambassador of this race serie. Today I am on the podium with him and on the first place. It’s just incredible ! »
A solid 4th place for Curtiss Wright / Team Sinroja Motorcycles x Royal Enfield #04 [INDIA] and their tuned Continental GT 650 « Two Smoking Barrels » ahead an incredible Taylor McKenzie / Team Harley Davidson #03 [USA] on the mighty Harley Davidson « Sprint Glide ». The most powerful bike of the class is also the heaviest but clearly made a big show with rear wheel spin on nearly the all distance ! wow !
With the smallest engine of the series the Royal Enfield « Two Smoking Barrels » built by Sinroja Motorcycles with Curtiss Wright showed up an amazing level of performances ! Well done boys !
This Technical Control area was then used as dedicated space for all contenders to wrench, fix or fine tuned their race bikes during the all week end thanks to the great Rothewald tools supplied by our friends from Louis Motorrad & for sure Motul lubricants.
BMW Motorrad, Indian Motorcycle, Royal Enfield and Harley Davidson were presenting with their respective teams to show up what their sprintracers were able to on the strip.
The power to weight ratio concept rules appeared again to be very relevant with some very tough battles between the riders to decide who was the fastest.
On the french track with a perfect grip, all contenders showed up a high level of skills and great performance with very close results each time.
It was this time Philipp Ludwig [GER] from Team Kraftstoffschmiede x BMW Motorrad #54 on his BMW R1250RS « Achilles » who was able to take a convincing win leading ahead Amelie Mooseder [GER] on her BMW R1200R « Spitfire » from Team VTR Customs x BMW Motorrad #85 for the second place.
Randy Mamola [USA] did very well for his first time racing Sultans of Sprint achieving a well deserved 3rd place on the Indian 1200 Scout « Appaloosa » from Team Indian Motorcycle x Workhorse Speed Shop #19.
Find out more shots from #FactoryClass Challenge 2019 round 2 races on this LINK.
The Autodrome tribunes were fully packed when Sultans of Sprint teams from both classes entered the straight line of Monthléry. Riders, bikes & teams presentation in the pitlane.
Cafe Racer Festival claimed nearly 17000 visitors on 2 days and clearly a good part of them saw the Sultans of Sprint Race Exhibition or visited the massive 520m2 dedicated to Sultans of Sprint in the village as well as during the parade organized before to join the track for the Race Exhibition Saturday.
The last 8 of Sultans of Sprint #FreakClass were able to finish their race on saturday & to please the crowd with the fastest qualified machines.
On a shorter exhibition track the fastest on the start showed again their skills to manage a rocket launch of their incredible machines.
Daniele Ghiselli [IT] on his SouthGarage tuned « SuperHero » #16 finished at the 1st place of the podium ahead Philipp Ludwig [GER] on his home made BMW 4 valves Kraftstoffschmiede « Hercules » #46 reaching 2nd place. Finally Simon Bronold [GER] on his Radical Guzzi « NOSferatu » #66 took the 3rd place against Laurence Chatokhine [FR] riding the Lucky Cat Garage BMW « Bombinette » #17 finishing 4th of this 2019 Sultans of Sprint #FreakClass race round.
After these last races of Sultans of Sprint #FreakClass to decide the rankings, it was time again for the #FactoryClass to show up on the track.
The least we can say is the #FactoryClass riders know how to please the crowd with massive burnout, wheelies & amazing on such a tiny track. What a great show !
Then, many #FreakClass riders took the chance to ride as much as they could to test their bikes & improve their starting skills … but always pleasing the crowd with some massive burnouts & fast starts !
For the very first time of Sultans of Sprint and for the pleasure of visitors Sultans of Sprint was offering a « Sound Pressure Contest » Saturday afternoon. The goal was clear : let’s make a maximum of noise !
A sound level meter was used to mesure how loud the race bikes are … but also the riders ! The addition of these 2 figures was defining the winners.
For this contest the loudest couple was suprisingly Amelie Mooseder & her BMW R1200R « Spitfire » from team VTR Customs x BMW Motorrad !
Amelie takes home the trophy of the 2019 Sultans of Sprint #FactoryClass « Sound Pressure Contest » making the difference with her loud screams. Powerful vocal cords Amelie !
The legendary Sultans of Sprint « Party Monster Bonus » was this time the unfair « Limbo contest » in which all riders have to dance passing under the height of their own bikes.
In some cases (and finally most of them) that’s nearly impossible without training but big fun & entertainement after a long day on track & good way to warm up before a long party until late.
Thanks to Dorsan, our DJ for this season, spinning an outstanding selection of records the Sultans of Sprint party was getting high & hot with most of participants, team members, friends & fans dancing next to the Sultans of Sprint camp.
As usual all team members were welcomed in the Sultans of Sprint hospitality for some fresh beers, Sailor Jerry shooters and for the first time some Monster Energy cans in various flavours to keep partying hard until late !
The all weekend the Sultans of Sprint was offering the greatest sprintracers exhibition in the Cafe Racer Festival village. A great opportunity to check the Sultans of Sprint beasts from #FactoryClass and #FreakClass in all details but also the chance to meet riders and teams.
For the first time also Sultans of Sprint is organizing the AXOC Antigravity Contest which is a challenge for the teams to tackle and try to get a prize money of 1000€ in total !
AXOC is a new brand offering high level protectors in underwear jackets & pants for motorcycling and all kind of outdoor activities where shock protection is required.
This time the AXOC AntiGravity Contest was a sprintrace without bikes : in a dedicated inflatable corridor one against one the goal was to put a pad as far as possible with a big string calling you back. Riders of both classes or team members were called to take part and this is Curtiss Wright from Team Sinroja Motorcycles x Royal Enfield #04 #FactoryClass who performed best in this crazy challenge. Epic ! Congrats Curtiss !
Thumbs up also to Xavier from Team Riverside Goatkeepers #18 #FreakClass finishing at second place & Carsten from Team Kradmelder Service #22 #FreakClass achieving third place of this AXOC AntiGravity Contest.

For the first event of the 2019 season Sultans of Sprint Challenge had to face a terrible rainy weather which led the crew to cancel unfortunately all sprint races in Monza [IT]. It was raining cats & dogs on the beautiful italian temple of speed.
This said, it has been an amazing week end thanks to the good vibes & positive attitude of all team members from both #factoryclass & #freakclass but also the complete Sultans of Sprint organization crew for an unforgettable party saturday night.

Sultans of Sprint 2019 #FACTORYCLASS challenge is welcoming again BMW Motorrad, Indian Motorcycle & Yamaha Motor but also two new more motorcycle brands with Royal Enfield & Harley Davidson.
BMW Motorrad is joining again with two sprintracers: the famous BMW R1200R “Spitfire” #85 built by VTR Customs and ridden by Amelie Mooseder on one side, the amazing brand new BMW R1250RS “Achilles” #54 built by Kraftstoffschmiede and ridden by Phil Ludwig on the other side. Both bikes are using the latest watercooled boxer with a nitrous oxyde injection system.
Indian Motorcycle competed in 2018 with their Indian FTR 1200 Custom prototype which was announcing the launch of the FTR 1200 on the market. For this new season they decided to celebrate the 100th anniversary of an iconic model: the Scout. Indian Motorcycle decided to collaborate with Workhorse Speed Shop from Belgium to create the Indian 1200 Scout “Appaloosa”. This very impressive sprintracer will be ridden by former GP racer Randy Mamola !
After a successful “wildcard” with their “Lock Stock” concept bike in the #freakclass in 2018 Royal Enfield enters the Sultans of Sprint 2019 #FactoryClass challenge with a 650 Continental GT twin built by Sinroja Motorcycles in UK. Bored to 750cc, nitrous oxyde injected and stripped down to gain weight the Royal Enfield “Two Smoking Barrels” will be ridden by Curtiss Wright.
Harley Davidson decided to join with a quite surprising and interesting approach to reach the power to weight limit of the #FactoryClass challenge starting with a Street Glide.
Slightly modified but still featuring saddlebags & soundsystem this is probably the heaviest machine ever of the Sultans of Sprint line up but the american crew decided to use a supercharger to boost the Milwaukee Eight 107 (1900cc) engine. The project has been handled in-house by Harley Davidson Europe.
The Harley Davidson “Sprint Glide” is ridden by British SBK rider Taylor Mc Kenzie !
Last but not least Yamaha is entering the Sultans of Sprint #FactoryClass challenge again with a XSR700. For this new season the Yamaha XSR700 named “Loco” is built & ridden by Anthony Partridge from Partridge Design who is also involved in Goblin Garage on Discovery Channel. No nitrous oxyde injection but a turbocharger for the smallest engine of the 2019 #FactoryClass challenge !
The Yamaha sprintracer built by Partridge design will be unveiled at Cafe Racer Festival in Monthléry as well as the bikes from Riverside Motocyclettes & CR Racing who struggled to get the bikes ready on time for the season opening … so still some surprises to come !
Sultans of Sprint 2019 #FREAKCLASS challenge is gathering again an amazing line up of custom sprint racer powered by air cooled twin cylinder engines featuring nitrous oxyde & supercharging systems … or sometimes just naturally aspirated. Whatever the power unit choosen by the team creativity is at its best in this class !
Sultans of Sprint will be back on track in France for the next round hosted by Cafe Racer Festival in Monthléry june 22nd & 23rd !
We are ready to rock the wonderful french autodrome …
See you there !
