The 3C Racing Team will rely on its regular drivers from the previous year: the Spaniard Javier "Xavi" Forés and the Italian Lorenzo Lanzi. Forés won the SUPERBIKE*IDM 2014 with an impres-sive lead of 37 points ahead of the competition. He won six races and made it to the podium in all other heats. Lorenzo Lanzi, who only entered the championship later, won the first heat in the finale in Hockenheim. He was ranked ninth overall.

 

 

After the outstanding results in the Superbike World Championships, in which Ducati celebrated a grand victory only a few days ago in the Spanish city of Arágon, the 3C Racing Team optimistically set about defending their title in the SUPERBIKE*IDM. Forés in particular has logged enough test kilometres and knows his motorbike inside and out. The 29-year-old represented Davide Giugliano in the Ducati works team in the Superbike World Championships for two heats (Giugliano has been injured since the beginning of February.) 3C Racing Team captain Karsten Jerschke gave permis-sion on short notice for the Spaniard, who reached fifth place, to take part in the race.  

The same motorbikes are driven In the SUPERBIKE*IDM as in the World Championships, up to the regulatory provisions. The 3C Racing Team gets factory materials from Bologna. As in the previous year, the team will be supported by the factory during the season, among others by engineers from Ducati Corse, who will be at the site during the race.

Karsten Jerschke, Team captain: "It's not just a matter of defending the title. Our challengers have grown. We have great respect for the speed of the Yamaha R1M and the Team Yamaha Mo-tor Deutschland, and also for the Team Van Zon Remeha BMW and Markus Reiterberger. Howev-er, the 3C Racing Team isn't entering the race to finish second".

Kicking off the season in the Motorland Aragón with a championship race before a domestic audience is something really special. The 3C-Racing Team are delighted to have this unique opportunity along with their pilot and wish him plenty of success for the race.

In addition to the preparation done by the 3C-Racing Team, – the test drives for the IDM are taking place in April – the current German master will already be able to drive a few kilometres before the kick-off of this year’s SUPERBIKE*IDM.

During the first weekend in May, there is going to be a showdown of the highest motorcycle sports class taking place at the EuroSpeedway Lausitz.

EUROPAN is the biggest design competition for urban planning and architecture. The 13th edition begins on 2 March 2015 at around 50 sites throughout Europe. In the context of the project, more than 2,000 young architects and planners address the current issues facing urban planning and develop visionary ideas and strategic concepts for selected situations in various locations around Europe.

This year Landsberg am Lech is also taking part with a local recreation area to the south of the city. The 3C-Carbon Group AG's Lechrain Technology Park is at the centre of the competition area for “Europan 13” (marked in yellow), and is to be expanded to the North with an industrial residential area.

By the 3C-Carbon Group AG acquiring the Horex brand, an important piece of German industrial history was able to be saved from being sold off abroad. The exceedingly successful high-tech company from Landsberg am Lech has taken over the Horex brand with the goal of successfully continuing the soon-to-be 100-year history of a German motorcycle manufacturer that is rich in tradition. Horex brand motorcycle models should be brought back to the market as soon as possible and further expand their prior success.

In order to lead the Horex brand to a new bout of glory, not only a lot of heart and soul, but also essential optimisations are going to be required from a technical and organisational perspective. The goal is to devise a marketable concept in order to get new clientele enthusiastic about Horex.

Loyal fans as well as dedicated dealers form an important basis for this new start and should be involved in the process of finding ideas. The 3C-Group is therefore striving to ensure functioning supply of spare parts for the Horex VR6 models that had most recently been produced.
