Corcelles-le-Jorat Classic Race 2009
Another Swiss speciality presented here: since we can’t have a racing circuit, nor organize races on the territory (since the fifties, all racing activities got banned after the horrid 1955 Le Mans crash with the Mercedes Silver arrows), well we organize timed hillclimbs. In theory, the winner is the rider with the closest difference in timing between two races… this doesn’t prevent people from going fast
.
So every year, the peaceful farming community of Corcelles hosts a classic hill climb. Memories of “The Wild One” come into mind as the village is perfumed with castor oil, two-stroke oil and the smell of burned gas. Look at the pictures and see you there next year!
I’ll be there with the A1R… hopefully.
