To crop, DDT is the revival of the Tower of France motorcycle in a new form. Only, l�appellation "France Tower" can be exploited, the name used in 2003 is the motorcycle Tour. And then very quickly, the Dark Dog energy drink became the qu�il partner needed to develop the rally.
Everyone remembers qu�à l�origine there are two great gentlemen of the French motorcycle. Marc Fontan Director of DDT and Eric de Seynes (the boss of Option Sport events) and a certain Bruno Bonhuil. Pilot of the most sympathetic and especially fascinated by the universe, our universe! [ndKw76: already 2 years ago half qu�il has disparu�]
Since 3 years, the principle remains the same. Departure d�une city to another and then another jusqu�à l�arrivée. With time, different events:
� of the special timed on closed roads.
� of the "Bases Chrono" regularity tests which need to maintain 60 km/h of average on X kilometres without knowing which ends the extent,
Tests on circuit in package �
� of navigation on the route of binding events
and all this day and night.
MOTORCYCLE, TRUE!
To frame the pilots, there is rules. And the lesser skid causes a penalty! Some tenors of the years past s�en remember encore�
An excess of speed link, a delay in the score, a poor average speed can plummet in the standings faster qu�on think.
A regulation to last in time must s�adapter, vivre�
2008 has therefore its batch of nouveautés�
� THE main for the Dark Dog Tour in France is the removal of the recognition of the special. And Yes, for the most available, wealthier or better sponsored drivers the possibility to identify paths and pitfalls before the rally. This year, the organizers will be available to each video special on the net! A MONTH BEFORE L�EPREUVE. The official route him not be unveiled qu�au technical audits time by a roadbook paper which will only be official. Those who will use Trippy and GPS system failure will be s�en take qu�à them same. [ndKw76: Unfortunately, as rally car, with videos, there is always the possibility for some of the sector and to préparer�]
� heated blankets permitted only on circuits. The application of some n�a drivers therefore not heard. What seems logical and l�esprit rally.
� Prohibition of driving with a bag back, top-box or other saddlebag. However, possibility of setting a flexible bag on the passenger seat or the reservoir
� Of new penalties see the day as in the case of loss of the road map, d�assistance in special by another person that the departure pilote� will be Reims� (thought for Bruno Bonhuil) Friday 26-Sunday 28 September, drivers will pass by the technical checks, and the épreuves� 410 kilometres approximately with 1 night in the city, and two others on road in day and night special.
Monday, 29, competitors between Reims and Val-de-Reuil with 380 km consisting of Chrono base and a special road.
Tuesday 30, 450 km with a special on the Croix-en-Ternois circuit and another on road.
Wednesday 1 October, direction Magny-Cours! 540 km between bond and a base Chrono. L�arrivée, a special on an original mix between karting circuit and the circuit school. Then comes a great time! Special on the night F1 circuit! A blow from the pleasure for the majority of the pilotes� after a short night certainly, direction Ales on 2 October with 575 km with a special road and another test mix "tracks rally / speed / Karting".
Friday 3 October, Ales / Toulon with 390 km to the program and special two. One on the d�Ales circuit, and another road.
SATURDAY 4! GREAT NOVELTY. THE ARRIVAL IN CORSICA FOR A JOURNEE�. A large loop of 300 km on Ajaccio / Porto Vecchio / Ajaccio. 2 or 3 special will wait for the drivers to this passage in Corsica. Why a simple passage in Corsica? Question of logistics first. Cost also certainly. The entire village will remain in Toulon, l�assistance also. Only a small assistance before d�embarquer and the return will be authorized. closed Park. But two points of satisfaction at this venue in Corse�
-find or discover the winding roads, local landscapes.
-Take a little tour de Corse automobile l�esprit. Mythical rally.
And surtout� there is a project that is in route� that create a Corsica rally that would join European l�IRC the same as the bike ride itself! Several days, a village, more than special, bases chronos� A true motorcycle rally in Corsica. Motorcycle-Online following l�affaire of very very ready, get some.
And after a day of tourism Corsica, back in France for a last day with l�étape connecting Marseille to Toulon, on Sunday, October 3. And in this step: the special mount Faron. Drivers will pass testing rally to a final test race of coast. A rise of madman whose reputation n�est more to do.
And so the time d�annoncer an another nouveauté� the special of MONT FARON will be open to the PUBLIC! For those who may y assister�
I think having this Dark Dog Tour 2008 tour! Registrations are open, at the price of 1390� (crossing go back towards Corsica included)! From memory, it seems to me to remember that the first edition was in 700� l�ordre but c�est to vérifier�
At the beginning of this article, I was talking about l�IRC. Since l�an passed, tests develop breast d�un International Championship of rally. Picking up the format of the motorcycle Tour, l�an passed, the s�est Belgium launched in l�organisation of his motorcycle tour. With a true success, and a mostly a very good reception from the public, media. L�Italie and was doing well, but n�était not ready. Just as this year!
Next L�an might be the good année� and for 2008, c�est the Portugal that s�est launched in l�aventure. But unable to d�avoir much d�infos because � it n�y
a step much of frozen! Ah si� announced certainty. It will be better qu�en France and Belgium.
Then only want to rally to développent� because c�est a discipline available, impressive where amateur pilots can shine and blend in to pros. It n�y not a lot of disciplines that permit aujourd�hui. A small aside on the power of the machines� regulations unfortunately necessary to be in conformity with the French legislation.
Regulation as you know which limit to (106 tolerated) 100CV. Regulation which seemed to be denounced at the time where there was talk of technical control but which since the project is put aside appears to be once again fair and normal. No. how.
Then how to in Belgium, the Portugal and l�an in Italy next? Simply by "equivalents". A choice which already in the presentation room was réagir�
Only 1000cc 4-cylinder will be all restricted in 100CV others can in those countries in Full. I.e. the 600cc 4 cylinders, the 1000cc 3 cylinders, and the bicylindres 1200cc.
Cross reference? mouifff�. A 1098 full to a Zx10r restricted? equivalent c�est?
In any case, this is a "short summary" this day of presentation to the press and the concurrent Dark Dog Tour 2008!
