Ivo Kastan – born at 06.09.1964 and the wellknown face of Czech. Republik Motorsports – is driving Cross, Enduro, Cross-Country rallyes, Marathon rallyes and do not forgot – Rallye Dakar. He was for six time successful into the finish of the Dakar. And now in this year he needs a new challenge. “South America was 50% and my job the other side for this adventure. I´m a dealer for small motorcycles like Honda Monkey, DAX and Gorilla. So I have decided to start here with a new engine at the Dakar rallye 2009 and really with my “Rahier Honda” and the 146ccm TJR engine. And i have gotten the fourth into category 250ccm at European Bajas Cup. I means , that here at the Dakar a lot of private driver are on the wrong way. The big capacities are expensive and dangerous. I have rediscovered with my bike the “spirit of Dakar”.
Ivo has disqualified with a oil leakage after the fourth stage-but he has finished the rallye Dakar 2009 without any competition.
Congratulations!
And now his extraordinary race results:

Christian Rinkenburger
World champion & european champion with 125ccm engine from TJR Motorsport
Even 13 years old and junior world champion of 125ccm. “He will be the great champion in 2010 or 2015”, so the words of the motorsport press some years ago. But such a long time Christian “Chrissi” Rinkenburger from MSC Langnau didn´t want to wait. In 2007 he became world junior champion of 125ccm in Bielefeld / Germany. An absolutely success for a thirteen year old boy in speedway racing.
Here is the running of the Junior World Cup in 2008:
It all started with the active race career of his father – Werner Rinkenburger – who started many years for MSC Langnau in the national speedway championship. When Werner retired from active racing Christian has already been infected with the passion for speedway racing. His mother Sylvia and his sister Jennifer have supported his racing career since than, too. He was six year old when Christian participated in his first race in “Schülerklasse A” with a 50ccm KTM bike. One year later in 2001 he proved his talent when he won the German master championship in “Schülerklasse A” – 2002 he continued driving in “Schülerklasse B1” now with 65ccm racing bike with several gears.
2004 after an outstanding season Christian had gotten his first German mastership in “Schülerklasse B1” and also in 2005. 2005 at the final race he fought with Kevin Walter his strongest opponent and with a dramaticaly finish scene and only one point more – victory! One year later this class was canceled and now Christian will be for the rest of the time the last German champion in this school class ( his third mastership of this). But not enough: in this year Christian got the title “best driver in south German speedway junior championship!”
Also in 2006 the ten year old boy had incredible results. On the speedway ring of Neuenknick in a thrilling finish he became German Vice Champion 2006 with a 125ccm engine. Only some weeks later the enthusiastic race family drove to Blijham/Netherlands and her he was one of the finalists in the 125ccm European Championship – and after an extraordinary race he became vice European champion. At this time his greatest success – a success against a lot of good European competition.
2007 the youngest racer from MSC Langnau received his greatest success – the junior world championship of 125ccm in the first WM controlled by FIM.
He loves the short speedway ring of Haunstetten (Augsburg), Landshut and Berghaupten. And so he became 2008 after seven years with nearly fourteen years European- and World Champion of the 125ccm.
