Neuner also drives in Hockenheim

It was a dip in the deep end. Without a test. But Rafael Neuner made the best of it. The Austrian replaced the injured Sarah Heide in the Suzuki Laux team in Oschersleben.

Now it is clear: The man with the starting number 17 will be the new Suzuki GSX-R 1000 also steer at the IDM finale in Hockenheim at the end of September. First prize: 23rd place in both races of the IDM Superbike 1000.

Neuner has now come to a few IDM assignments. In Schleiz he was already at the start for the Kawasaki Schnock Team Motorex on a ZX-6R. The Tyrolean had actually hoped for a whole season in the Supersport 600 class, but had to turn down three attractive offers because he couldn’t raise the budget.

He was very enthusiastic about his weekend in the IDM Superbike 1000 in Oschersleben: 2I have never moved a gun like this. The motorcycle accelerates like a turbine from all walks of life. It was an exciting weekend for me. Sarah had already worked well, we didn’t have to change anything except the fork springs. The seating position, handlebars and many other components already worked for me. But now I urgently have to work on my driving style, there is still too much super sport in it.”

Team boss Stefan Laux attested his guest driver a solid and expandable performance: “On Saturday at the race he suffered a little slack, but on Sunday he was aggressive and he was able to reduce his time by a second compared to qualifying. We have tested a lot on the brakes and the electronics. At the IDM finale in Hockenheim, we’ll see. I hope that Rafael will find enough sponsors for next year to contest a full season. He definitely has potential.”
