Mid 2015 report and reporting

Hello again! For now we will be committed to make quarterly reports here. Twitter and Facebook gives weekly short reports and our blog will give longer more detailed reports at least four times per year.

Motocross

Due to the slow recovery of the injuries from the ice road racing from early this year there has not been so much of motocross races as usually. However the sidecar team has been very active and Team SunRacing has been visible very often in the events. Team Jarmo / Artur has been very successful during the year and currently they are second in the class of 50+. Last two races in Kose Lauri was the passenger instead of Artur. Artur was the replacement for Lauri during Lauri's recovery. Next weekend there will be decisive race in Põlva where points are doubled and team Jarmo / Lauri is trying to go past team Stephan / Jukka.

For now there has been total 12 sidecar races this year in which team SunRacing has attended. Also team SunRacing is sponsoring Sidecarcross team Kunnas which has been very successful in many races this year. Specially in the very hard world championship races in Stelpe (11th), Kiviõli (10th) and Kegums (18th).

Equine

Where motocross has been somewhat disappointing in this season the equine team has been however very successful! Team SunRacing's Marja / Super Pearl completed FEI 2* 120km in Haanjamaa! This was the first 2* 120km for team SunRacing. Soon after that Marja / Farid Ibn Shadwan completed the first level 1 qualification for the FEI level.

Marja / Super Pearl was in the team Finland in the Nordic Baltic Championship but sadly was not able to finish due injury to the front leg of the Super Pearl. This injury is now behind but we are still going slowly with Super Pear to make sure she has been fully recovered. During that time Marja / Farid Ibn Shadwan completed the second level 1 qualification and first level 2 qualification for the FEI level! Also Lauri / Super Pearl finished starter qualification for Lauri! This was first test race for Super Pearl which ended well and the past injury did not show any sings.

Team SunRacing was crewing Ines Beilmann / Vandah El Aryes who became the Finnish Champion 2015! Soon after that Marja / Farid Ibn Shadwan completed the second level 2 qualification for FEI level. Now Farid Ibn Shadwan is qualified for FEI level after the compulsory time has elapsed. Farid Ibn Shadwan can start at FEI level at mid 2016. Also Lauri / Super Pearl completed first level 1 qualification for Lauri. Our youngest horse Jiicee Superstar also completed starter qualification with Marja!

For equine team lot has been happened and there has been great success during the year! We only hope that rest of the year can be as good as it has been now. Soon there will be second level 1 qualification for Lauri / Super Pearl and FEI 2* 120km for Marja / Super Pearl. If everything goes well then also first level 1 qualification for Jiicee Superstar.

Soon we will also add race log where you can see our races and kilometer totals!

See you in races!
