Hi again,
our bad luck continues. 20 teams entered this event and we achieved the 10th training time. The start of the first heat was not good but we made up many places quickly. After some laps we were riding at the 12th place and close behind 11 with good options to pass. But then our bad luck did strike again. The rear tyre got punctured and did spin in the rim. No possibility to continue.
Second heat again bad start but we started to recover until the engine stalled. After we restarted the engine stalled again. This repeated 2 times and we thought an ignition problem and did quit the race. In the paddock we found a stone jammed under the rear brake pedal....
That's it for so far, the speed is there but now to finish a race with good results.
Regards, Stephan

In this blog we will tell you about the racing seasons of our sidecar team starting from 2011 . We are Stephan Koppenol and Mikael Kärkkäinen. A Dutch-Finnish father & son duo driving together since September 2005. When we started it was just for fun, having a ride at the local tracks but everything changed after 2 years. First we did enter only some Finnish races but now this will be our fourth full season with races in Finland, Estonia and Latvia.
