Guzzi Italy are partly sponsoring the event, with a Guzzi marquee and reception plus cheaper entry for Guzzi owners.
There is talk of the V8 being fired up on the track too.
More information is available on the Moto Guzzi World Club website. http://motoguzziworldclub.it/?lin=eng

And a Guzzi has won, too:

..Guzzi for the winner and nos 6, 8 and 10 and very close to a double win. In a longer article the "unsolvable problems" were quoted to be a fuel run-out for the sure leader on their Guzzi...

Number 6 is the tuner-wiz Jens Hofmann of Donotec in Germany, apparently running a short stroke (70) roundfin in this race. His home page:

So it was a single 4 hr race this year. Anyone know how many fuel stops the Guzzis took??

I would love as much information as possible.

Nice bike that Egli-Guzzi, but I've never heard about a Egli frame suited for Guzzi engines! :?

Also the Egli official book I've just checked hasn't mention on a frame for Guzzi in the data sheet. :twisted:

I suppose this is only a neat example of Egli frame clone. A wide family.

It doesn't matter: performance could be more important as its genealogy.

Cheers.

hello,

as far as i know, f.w. egli built one frame for a guzzi engine. the bike had a "one arm swingarm" (sorry for my bad english) and the typical egli style big backbone frame. the bike does exist yet and is in german hands.

the bike in this thread is nothing more than a bike with an egli styled frame, Tig welded and Nickel plated. something like an egli clone, i made myself
however, the bike does have very modern frame geometrie (rake and trail). weight is 170kg dry (with e-starter and LiFe batteries).
engine is a 1140ccm, tuned by my friend Peter (http://www.horvath-guzzi.at), output 118hp at the rear wheel.

in Spa we finished 8th. the bike was the first time on a race track.
the 4,5 hours race in Oschersleben we battled for 3rd as the rear wheel kardan broke 30min before finish. result.......16th.
the 2 hours in Rijeka one rider crashed the bike in 4th position.

@ guzziray: fuelstop ~every complete hour.
