At the moment, the Bergrennen Gurnigel club is working flat out on the final preparations for the big event on September 8/9 outside the gates of Bern. The 49th Bergrennen Gurnigel is the second last round of the Swiss Mountain Championship 2018.
On the homepage the official start list is available for download. True, no less than 263 riders are registered, 47 of them with REG license. With the usual cutbacks - due to accidents and technical problems at the last races in St-Ursanne and Oberhallau - it will probably be around 250 to 255.
A quantitatively and qualitatively strong vintage - however, the VBG had hoped for even more participants and limited the contingent to 290 cars. The return to the roots, i.e. the renunciation of historic motorcycles and a show block, should be an incentive for a more active participation.
Two race heats on Sunday
On Saturday, the practice runs (two for the REG riders, three for the NAT/INT licensed riders) will start at 7 am. Field 1 (REG) will hold its two race runs in the afternoon.
If there is not enough time on Saturday until 6 p.m., the third practice session will continue on Sunday from 7 to 8 a.m.. The first of two race runs will then start at 8:15 a.m.
We will go into the sporting starting position in a next preview. More info about the race and the ticket prices can be found at the Website take out.
The names of the winners of our raffle of Free tickets we will be available via our social channels (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram) publish. Still you can HERE participate.
