Motorbike 24 Hour Race - April 2008
The Moto 24 takes place on the weekend of the 19th and 20th of April and is part of the QTEL World Championship of Endurance. There are three classes in the Moto 24 with the Super production bikes battling for the Formula EWC title. The ‘Superstock’ category will be racing for the World Cup, while the ‘Open’ category will remain outside the Championship.
The race uses the Bugatti circuit instead of the main Le Mans 24 Hour race circuit and work has taken place to make the Garage-Vert curve safer. The track now measures 4.185 km, so this year the riders will be out to set new records. Suzuki (winner in 2007 and current world title-holder) will be once again battling against Kawasaki, Yamaha and Honda, not forgetting MV Agusta (as yet no victory at the 24 Heures Moto under its belt), and especially BMW whose sharpened flat-twin is making a come-back in order to do better than in 2007 when it finished 16th.
