The Celtibero Rotax Circle-F race bike: technical specifications

A built up from scratch light weight steel US-Circle F frame, perfectly welded to embrace an old-school Rotax 500cc single four stroke engine attached to it by means of Olimunllum® engine mounts transmitting the power through a light weight chain and Olimunllum® transmission has been the base for our racing campaign. The Celtibero exhaust provides the missing extra power to our little engine, and help it rev higher. This prouves of good help when you squeeze the power down the straigths at the long tracks.

Celtibero Flattrack Experience 2nd edition

October 29th, 2011 @ Novara, Italy


The late autumn sun and a perfect track surface after last week's rain welcomed us for another great day of riding at the Motoclub 5 test track near Novara.

Just after the morning cafe (thanks Valentina!) participants jumped together with Jacopo onto the old bicycles. After half an hour of braking without brakes, everybody was warm enough to start serious riding with the four CRF100.







What a great feeling it is for us to see the flattrack rookies (from a 14 year old newcomer to a 35 vespa-riding-pharmacist!) slide into the corners in control and on top of that, with great style.

Round 5 of the Pozzani Grand National UK Flattrack Championship @ Kings Lynn

After dominating all his heats on the Celtibero Circle-F Rotax, Jacopo Monti suffered a technical DNF on the semifinal at Kings Lynn this Saturday, which leaves us with no mathematic chances for the title win.

Big thanks to Anthony Brown and Collin's technic, Bob, for the help trying to get the Rotax back on track. Coming from the main contenders, we really appreciated that!

Congratulations to Tom Woolley, Ben Baker and Richard Mason for their podiums on the GNC Class and to Anthony Brown, Peter Boast and Guy Sutherland on Thunderbikes!

Got recently an email from the top UK Shorttrack rider Peter Boast. Thought you'd also like to know what's going on!

Here it is about!

THREE EXCITING MEETINGS COMING UP FOR FLAT TRACK RACING

UK's Flat Track Racing is hotting up for some great mid season action, with three different disciplines of Flat Track, Shorttrack, TT and 1/2 mile action.

On Sunday 17th July, Flat Track racing comes to brand new Stadium at Leicester, which will host Round 4 of the 2011 Pozzani Grand National UK Championship. The Stadium was only completed in April 320 meters Shorttrack with banked corners and 1000 seater grandstands. H.M. Plant Honda rider Aidan Collins, who currently leads the 2011 Championship, will team up with his father Les, who was a legend at Leicester Speedway in the 80's and will also be riding a Honda. Collins will have tough international competition from Aussie Stars Tyson Nelson and Kevin Doolan also Itals Jacopo Monti.

On Saturday evening 30th July, Norfolk Arena will be holding the only TT event in the UK Calendar. In the USA Flat Track racing TT events are run not only left hand bends but right and bends as well and include jumps. We would call that Supermoto over here but the difference is that we still run no front brake, which makes for more action backing it in.

On Saturday evening 6th August, the fastest Flat Track meeting ever seen in the UK will take place. It will be held at the largest Horse Trotting Track in Great Britain, at the Tir Prince International All Stars Flat Track Meeting. With wide open bends, we are anticipating lap times to be close to 100mph! The track is positioned in a busy holiday area near Rhyl, North Wales, so we are expecting a large crowd. There will be Flat Track races from all over the world Competing and  guest riders from other motorcycle disciplines, including the TT and TV star Guy Martin.

Thank you to our Sponsors, Pozzani Water Filters, Silkolene Oils, Celitbero Racing Components, Redmax, Maxxis, Hagon Shocks, Arrow Engineering and Helmets 4u.

Hope to see you at the races!

Silverstone

Amazing track, great atmosphere and thrilling races.

The Celtibero rider Jacopo Monti started the Silverstone race series pretty well, fighting among the quickest flattrackers from UK, Italy and even Australia, and qualifying himself for the Big Final. Unfortunately, an unexpected broken exhaust down pipe on the Celtibero Rotax Circle-F forced him to ride the final round with an alternative bike. Thanks to the Co-Built guys for their help though!

Congratulations to the australian rider Tyson Nelson who first saw the chequered flag, followed by UK's number one Aidan Collins and Richard Mason.

Congrats also to Tom Neave, who won the GNC Arrow Junior!

 

See you again in two weeks at the South Wales track!
