GTR is overpriced to buy? 5'555.- EUR + 8% VAT makes 5'999.- EUR Diffucult for both of us to compare prices because the tuners seems to hide they price. Grossewächter from Germany has his price published ,need to mentioned this fairly, 6'783.- EUR for a tuned GM. So if Grossewächter sells his GM tuned engine for nearly 800.- EUR more than us, what's a PJR, Karger and others tuners you mentioned on your post charging for his engine? Don't get me wrong, they are free to charge what they feel they work worth! If they have top riders scoring good points on they engines. It is just not our way to make business, we have ONE fix price for Mr. GP rider or youngster at sweden. GTR is not competitive? Beeing at 4th place on the Worlchampionship is not beeing competitive? How many max. scored had Lindgren this year at the Britisch, polish and swedisch league? They were a few.

The translation is quiet bad, I can't understand how they related FF performance with Nicki who had buy then a GTR? They got their injury/crash the same day or one day in between Its up to the rider to have one or two fuel tubes and some of them without filter inside. One of many things that belongs to how they want for their equipment, this is not depending on the engine manufakture. Nothing unusually. And FF has a rev. limiter on, the GTR works only with a rev. limiter. But a rev. limiter don't make the engine slower.

Gerhard Engines produced in 2015 a pre serie production over 30 engines. We haven't sales them until end of 2015 when Marcel Gerhard decided how the ONE engine set-up would be. In 2016 we sold those engines but the first fully production started in the winter time 16/17. If you can't see so many riders on the GTR is because we just started with a fully production. From those 30 engines we had Jordan Jenkins and FF changing complete to GTR, some went to long track riders (longtrack set-up) some other riders bought one and are using they old engines and one GTR. From the new production (winter 16/17) we have around 20 riders from the UK and some abroad. In the next few weeks you will see next to Nicki Pedersen other rider on this level on the GTR. How all the riders will scoring with the GTR will depending on how much time they will have to get used the GTR. We can see it with FF, as longer he was riding it as better his performance became.

Gerhard Engines produce/supplies just ONE version of the GTR. Just ONE engine set-up. FF has the same engine as we delivery to UK and the rest of the world. FF is not a test/works rider of Gerhard Engines. He is a client who tested the GTR end of 2015 and decided to equip himself with GTR engines for the upcoming season. He bougt 2 and then other 3. 2 GTR for UK and other 5 for Poland, Sweden and the SGP series. It may helps to understand why we have just ONE set-up if you would know more about the idea of Marcel Gerhard. He wanted to create a engine with a modern technology which allowed the engine to run for a longer time. In every other Motorsport category it is possible, so why don't in Speedway too, he thoughs. Having the knowledge of more than 30 years working on GMs and Jawas as tuner and been working a lot on Motocross, Endure, Supermotard engines too and he expirence as a former Speedway rider/ Longtrack Worldchampion the company had the best combition base to realise what we wanted. A fairer competition, supplying riders with the same equipment, saving the riders/promotors costs and try to give the sport a easier way for youngster to get in and the most important thing... to keep them in Speedway.
