There was already an opening series in 2019. Indian and DTRA would like to select other events that reflect the spirit of the growing flat track scene in Europe. The “Indian Motorcycle Flat Track Series” is intended to be accessible to a large number of drivers with a wide range of driving skills.
The different classes should be suitable for beginners as well as for pro drivers. The race tracks are also designed for this. There are fast ½ miles, narrow short distances and a TT.
There are three different classes. In the “Hooligan” class, 750cc + multi-cylinders are used, which are based on road motorcycles, like the Indian FTR 1200 or the Scout. In the vintage class only motorcycles built before 1975 are allowed to compete and in the pro class mostly light DTX machines are used.
Indian Motorcycle European Flat Track Series:
Classes: Hooligan, Vintage & Pro (Open class)
Series Events: (Four Rounds with the three best results to count)
- Round 1:2nd-3rd May Hells Race, Holland – Light Shale Short-Track – Open to all Classes. Held at this well-established event at the Dirttrack Lelystad Stadium, this is a fantastic event to open the series.
- Round 2:6th-7th June Greenfield TT, United Kingdom – Dirt-Track TT Course – Open to Pro and Vintage classes only. Greenfield TT incorporates a spectacular jump section which is unsuitable for the Hooligan road-based machines, it also makes-up a round of the UK DTRA Indian Motorcycle Flat Track Nationals Series.
