Magny-Cours, September 13, 2009 – The Austrian team of the Yamaha n ° 7 relishes its new title of world endurance champion 2009 (never seen with a Yamaha equipped with Michelin) … with nearly an hour in advance ! Video © Site.

Abruptly returned to the pit shortly after noon, the Yamaha n ° 7 of the YART had suddenly disappeared from the lap times …

After a short moment of hesitation and worry, a quick visit to the Austrian stand reassures the worried: the happy faces of the team members quickly make it clear that there is no danger in the house. !

The team of the Yamaha n ° 7 paved in Michelin simply began to celebrate its title of world endurance champion by uncorking the bottles … of beer !

The team manager has in fact preferred to make sure to finish this Bol d’Or 2009 classified by keeping the Yamaha in the pit, because a leak on a hose and an electrical problem on the R1 risked breakdown and abandonment, this which would be the worst case scenario.

With this modest 35th place in the Bol, YART is therefore assured of its world title because it was enough for it to finish the Nivernaise event and to score a single point despite the last event in Doha on November 8 in Qatar..

The R1 n ° 7 therefore quietly took to the track just before 3:00 p.m., out of respect for the public and the organization. !
