The Sultans of Sprint challenge is gathering motorcycle freaks from all over Europe to race their spectacular custom built sprint bikes. Not focused only on speed, performance and power the Sultans of Sprint challenge will also reward the contenders for their style, creativity and craziness.
The participating bikes are 100% custom built by the best custom workshops and enthusiasts. The bikes are powered by air or oil cooled 4 stroke engines up to 1400cc. The Sultans of Sprint is a class of its own … a race for turbocharged flying carpets built & raced by creative gearheads. Here is the current status of the championship after the 2 first rounds hosted by Wheels & Waves and Cafe Racer festivals. It’s now time to vote for the most stylish crew and win a Shoei Helmet or Gentlemen’s Factory gears on http://sultansofsprint.com/events/crewstylefanboost/.
Goodtimes despite race cancellation at Wheels & Waves.
The Wheels & Waves festival in Biarritz was to host the very first race of Sultans of Sprint championship. However, the weather conditions decided differently as rain and fog felt upon Jaizkibel and thus hampered any form of competition. This did not distract photographer Marc Holstein to gather the contenders along the Milady beach for some family pictures. After this photoshooting, missing some actions the Sultans of Sprint racers organized an outlaw push push 1/32 dragrace in the parking lot … no engine, no noise, no burnout this time : the rider & a team mate had to push their bike as fast as possible … kidsfun & good laughs before sharing some drinks altogether in the Sultans of Sprint area in the Wheels &Waves village.

The Cafe Racer Festival on the beautiful and legendary Linas Monthléry high speed & race track was hosting the second round but finally the first races for the Sultans of Sprint championship. The Sultans of Sprint contenders have been able to at least race 1/8 mile against each other on Saturday before the rain started to come back. Thanks to the organizers the end of the race has been postponed to Sunday afternoon. The Yamaha TR1 « Skinny Beast » from Schlachtwerk Racing team (GER) got 1st place just in front of the fast Triumph « Crazy Bonnie » from FCR Original (FR). The BMW « Sprintbeemer » from the Lucky Cat Garage (FR) came 3rd battling against the Ducati « Royal Pantah » from Switch Stance Riding (JP).
