We have decided to support the German Endurance Cup DLC in addition to the ongoing driver sponsorship. Here is a review of the season finale in Oscherleben on 8.10.2022 by Marco Siegle, BMW S1000RR 2020 - many thanks at this point - from the Face2Face team.
For the first time Oschersleben this year. And for the first time a DLC race without previous training for the three of us. For all of us the cool temperatures at this time of the year were a challenge. After all, if you want to score points in the endurance race, you first have to get there. So we had to start slowly. Despite little preparation and little training, we were able to secure 18th place on the grid across all classes.
At 12 o'clock we went out for the Le Mans start. Marcel was our start driver. For the Le Mans start, all riders run across the track at the start signal, start the bike and ride off. Marcel starts (as always) bomb and rides right in front. Riders change only when the tank is empty. In Oschersleben, that means about 40 minutes at race pace at a stretch. The RS2E electronics package has brought a lot of benefits over the distance, including the short-stroke throttle grip, which is a real advantage over these long distances. Less movement saves power, is easy to control and is much gentler on the forearm. The traction control worked very well and is particularly helpful when accelerating out of any bend and is also clearly perceptible due to the acoustic feedback. Exit of the Hasseröder goes full throttle over a bump. Wheelietime - looks great, but costs time. Here the Wheelie Control optimized by RS2E served me well. In the race we had to fight with a technical defect of our team mate Hendrik in lap 48, which unfortunately cost us an additional driver change.
After 6 hours and 211 laps we finished 10th in our class. Under the circumstances we are satisfied. In the overall ranking 2022 Moto 1000 we made the 6th place. A great result with desire for more!
Overall I say "thank you" for the great work and support in this great 2022 DLC season!
We look forward to next season and continue to give full throttle in the direction of podiums!
