T-Challenge and T-Cup Hockenheimring 2014
Triumph racing series rock Hockenheim

Triumph-Challenge and Triumph Street Triple-Cup press on 28/29. June put their stamp on the MOTORRAD Festival in Hockenheim and inspire with four exciting and sometimes memorable races. Michael Kunz took a spotless double victory in the T-Challenge, Ole Bartschat and Gabriel Noderer each achieved a race victory in the T-Cup.

This has never happened in the success story of the Triumph hobby racing series, which has been going on since 2008: over 70 starters met at the Hockenheim Motodrom. Absolute record, all time high. How come Very easy. Viral marketing via daytona-675.de and t5-net.de and the energetic, tireless advertising by Challenge co-initiator Thomas Rothmund had an impact. In addition to the established Triumph Street Triple Cup, which has been around since 2008, the Triumph Challenge has blossomed from a small community almost overnight into a very serious amateur racing series. Including guest starters, 46 (!) T-Challengers accepted the Hockenheim challenge. Who would have thought, let’s say ten years ago, that Triumph would one day develop such a sporting dominance?

Probably the first Triumph Cup man Uli Bonsel, in his main job Triumph press and technology man, who must have guessed in 2004 what a great success his employer would achieve with the Daytona 675 presented in 2005 and her little sister, the Street Triple, which followed in 2007.

1/34

The Triumph Challenge in particular shows impressively how successful these two series are. All sporty Triumph motorcycles are eligible to compete, the series is dominated by the Daytona 675, although very old and lovingly cared for sweethearts from the first model year 2006 still have a chance on the podium. Thomas Rothmund proved this very impressively in the 2nd run with a 3rd place with his honorable 675, which has served in various racing series since 2007, including the World Endurance Championship. And now the Triumph Challenge with body and soul.

Unsurprisingly, Franky Heidger, the most successful Triumph Street Triple Cup starter of the modern era, was looking for a new challenge in this Triumph Challenge for 2014. In terms of performance, it is of course somewhat inferior with its almost standard Cup-Street Triple. What Heidger, tempered in over 25 years of professional racing, compensated with driving skills and surprisingly secured pole position. Second place in the first run was a demonstration of driving skills; 1.53 lap times with a 105 hp motorcycle on the high-speed circuit in Hockenheim are synonymous with the realm of fables for normal hobby riders. It’s a shame for Heidger, second in race 1, that he was cleared in the second race by a colleague who dramatically overestimated himself when braking. Franky was by no means the only unlucky person. That’s just how it is in racing. Many drivers with a soulful smile on their faces, some rather sad, some even to the hospital for a check-up, fortunately without any major wounds. Biggest unlucky person of the weekend: Max Riebe, who just made it to the starting grid of Triumph Challenge Race 1 after good training, but had to leave it shortly before the start due to lack of propulsion. 0 points for one of the championship co-favorites was definitely not the plan, especially when sports comrade Michael Kunz confidently achieves two race wins and the full number of points.

Poker before the start: rain or slick?

Triumph Street Triple Cup colleague Gabriel Noderer did the trick at the season opener of the series at the Sachsenring at the end of May. All signs pointed to a repetition of this coup, had the Hockenheim weather not caused capers just before the first T-Cup run. Declared a rain race, the drivers faced the tricky choice of the right tires. Rain or slick? Shortly before the first call for the race, the track was largely dry, so many drivers rely on slicks. Punctually after the first announcement, it began to trickle. Hectic activity in the boxes. At least with parts of the T-Cup. Converting to rain tires. The boys were sweating and some of them got their bikes rebuilt just in time. Some don’t assemble. Because they generally reject rain. And didn’t invest in a second set of rims. Cup veteran Hajo Ammermann, for example, belongs to this faction. Or title favorite Noderer. He was playing poker. Many others with him. And gambled away terrific. When the pit lane opened for the grid, it began to rain in torrents. The slick faction balanced as if on raw eggs over the now extremely greasy asphalt, which had also suffered a lot from an open air concert held recently, and left the track, much to the amazement of the race management, without having achieved anything.

Minimalist starting field and falls in the rain

A starting field that is almost minimalist by T-Cup standards goes on the journey and is further decimated by falls. Fear reward for everyone who crossed the finish line: much sought-after points. And once again an impressive show of power by Ole Bartschat, the rain god of the Triumph Street Triple Cup. Who confidently won the race, followed by two old windy faces for whom rain seems to be particularly fond: Uli Bonsels and Harald Kaufmann, both over 50s, showed the young guard how to ride a motorcycle safely and quickly in the rain. Bonsels wanted one thing above all for the rest of the season: rain.

Rather unlikely, this wish. The second run of the Triumph Street Triple-Cup in optimal, as dry conditions, then corrected the balance of power. Noderer with a near-start-to-finish victory in front of Confederate Erich Peter, T-Cup winner 2013, and old star Leonhard Neels, who also impressively demonstrated that Street Triple models from 2008 to 2010 are still good for podium places be able. Another sign of balance in the Triumph Street Triple Cup.
