200 Miglia di Imola Revival - 2021

    Pressemitteilung:



    Italy’s first FIM Historic Event will be held in Imola on 11-12 September 2021

    The FIM is pleased to announce the very first FIM Historic Event to be hosted in Italy, during the 200 Miglia di Imola Revival on 11-12 September, which will be held at the Imola circuit.
    The event is scheduled to take place in full compliance with all restrictions and guidelines associated with the COVID-19 pandemic and taking all necessary precautions to ensure the safety of all participants.
    Once again, the Imola circuit will host an exceptional field of motorcycles, which have given the event its legendary status for many years. This weekend will be a time bubble in which to relive the moments that have made the history of this fabulous circuit. Several hundred motorcycles are expected, from the 1950s to today.
    This FIM Historic Event will be one of the main parades of this event, but also an incredible historical exhibition - it will be organised with the support of the Amicale Spirit of Speed and covers in total more than sixty years of motorcycling with a selection ranging from 1970 until today with the most beautiful Grand Prix and MotoGP machines, World Championship Superbikes and legendary Endurance machines.
    The FIM Historic Event concept created by the FIM is to exclusively present machines whose authenticity has been certified by a certification procedure which gives them an irrefutable identity. The quality of the selected machines and their authenticity have already been appreciated in France and Portugal during the first memorable FIM Historic Events.
    To see and hear in the Historic Event FIM boxes:
    Spectators are invited to go to the FIM Historic Events boxes where the collectors can give them all the necessary explanations and where they can watch the preparation and warming up of the machines. Who does not dream of being 2 meters from a MotoGP bike that is being started up?
    Collectors and riders will come from all over Europe to present a selection of never-before-seen motorcycles at Imola 200 Revival.
    Visitors will be able to enjoy a selection of Grand Prix and MotoGP machines from all categories, as well as Endurance champions and Superbikes ...

    Yamaha 750 TZ, Norton John Player Spaceframe, Suzuki XR11 TR 750...
    The field will also include the factory Suzuki 500 XR34 ridden by Randy Mamola in the 1979 GP season and then by Mick Grant who won the Isle of Man Senior TT in 1980.

    UNITED CLASSIC RACING IN IMOLA AM START



    Im Frühjahr 2020 wurde von einigen Motorrad-Sammlern aus Deutschland, den Niederlanden und der Schweiz der neue Freundeskreis „United Classic Racing“ (UCR) gegründet. Die Idee dahinter ist ohne die Fesseln eines echten „Vereins“ als Gemeinschaft bei Classic-Veranstaltungen in ganz Europa aufzutreten und dort hochwertige Rennmaschinen im Einsatz zu zeigen. Das alles mit viel Spass unter guten Freunden. Zwischenzeitlich konnten sogar Sponsoren für diese Idee gefunden werden. Unterstützt für die Veranstaltung in IMOLA wird UCR u.a. von Motul-Öl, Brisk Zündkerzen und Pylos59.


    Bei dem Revival der 200 Meilen von Imola vom 10.-12. September 2021 wird UCR das erste Mal in der Öffentlichkeit auftreten. Wir freuen uns, dass wir als neues Team in fast allen Läufen des Events am Start sind.


    Beim „Coppa D´Oro“ sind aus dem Team UCR zu sehen: Eine Bakker TZ750, eine weitere TZ750, eine Suzuki RG500 MK6 1980 ex Franco Uncini, eine Suzuki RG500 MK1 ex Boet van Dulmen, eine Cheney Yamaha TD2B in der Ausführung und den Farben von Phil Read 1971, eine Heron-Suzuki RG MK2 sowie eine Spondon-Yamaha TZ750 von 1978 (John Newbold).


    Daneben sind noch viele weitere tolle Maschinen in Einsatz und in der Ausstellung zu sehen, z.B. eine Dreizylinder Sankito 500 Yamaha, eine von nur 7 gebauten Spondon Yamaha TD2, die einmalige Suzuki XR45 TGA1 von 1984 ex Franco Uncini, eine Aermacchi Ala D´Oro, die Suzuki TR750 von 1976 ex Alex George (Daytona 1976), mehrere Suzuki RG500 MK1 (Helmut Kassner, Stan Woods), die Werks-Suzuki XR41 1984 ex Rob McElnea, die MV Agusta F4 Tamburini SBK ex Michele Gallina, die Solo 500 1982 von Jon Ekerold, mehrere Yamaha OW01 (Udo Mark und Fabrizio Pirovano), die Suzuki GSXR750 XR52 TT F1 ex Tsujimoto, eine Laverda 1000 Spaceframe, die Honda RC30 von Thomas Franz, die AGV Condor von Henk van Kessel, die Bridgestone 125 von Jos Schurges sowie mehrere van Veen Kreidler, eine Gilera 125 sowie eine Ringhini.


    Ganz besonders freuen wir uns, das UCR in Kooperation mit dem Team “World Classic Racing Bikes” sogar einen eigenen Präsentationslauf in Imola bestreiten kann. In diesem sind einige ehemalige Weltmeister und GP-Fahrer am Start, u.a. John Ekerold, Carlos Lavado, Johnny Cecotto, Marco Lucinelli, Jos Schurges, Bernd und Helmut Kassner, Alex George und Henk van Kessel.


    Es wird sicher eine unvergessliche Veranstaltung – das Team United Classic Racing ist in den Boxen 15-17 im Fahrerlager des Autdromo Enzo e Dino Ferrari in Imola zu finden.
