Abetone, 16.05.2022 – Less than two months before the second edition, Red Bull Abestone reveals some anticipation on what will happen in the Pistoia mountains for the fourth stage of the Fim Hard Enduro World Championship!
Let’s start from the paddock which will move a few hundred meters to the “Sprella” square, the main parking lot for the Val di Luce ski lifts. The opening for larger vehicles will be on Thursday evening while for smaller vehicles on Friday morning from 8 am.
From the end of the morning, registrations will always begin in the Val di Luce with delivery of the race number, transponder and motorcycle hallmark.
Adjacent to the new paddock there will be both the start of Q1 and Q2 (same route) and the parc fermé, another novelty for 2022.
Before arriving at the qualifying day, Friday afternoon will be dedicated to testing and setting up the bikes in the same route as the first edition. This time, however, the tests will not be timed and participation remains optional.
We arrive at the day of Saturday where the qualifications will take place from morning to evening.
Same rules for both Q1 and Q2. The best time of Q1 (two laps with two possibilities) will be added to the best time of Q2 (always two laps with two possibilities) to determine the Top 50 actually who will run the Final A and who instead (from the 51st onwards) the Final B.
The sum of the best times of Q1 and Q2 will also determine who of the best 16 will run the Straight Rhythm in piazza dell’Abetone. Up for grabs a longer time interval for the start of the Final A. Sixteenth, Eighth, Quarter, Semifinal and Final. Following awards and music in the town center.
We conclude with Sunday, Final A and B.
Final B starting at 9 am from Val di Luce will follow the same style of 2021, 2 hours of racing plus one lap. However, the track will be completely new, passing through the Final A route. Unlike last year, in this second edition the drivers will be divided according to the position reached into 4 categories: Gold, Silver, Bronze and Iron.
Between the awards ceremony of the 4 categories of Final B and the alignment of Final A we are already at the start for the Top 50.
This time you will have to take the cable car from Val di Luce or park in Abetone and go up with the Ovovia.
From 1942 above sea level the RedBull Abestone 2022 will start. See you
soon for all the other info on Sunday Afternoon!
