IDM farewell at Hockenheim and tricky WorldSSP300 weekend in Aragon

After lots of podiums (66x), victories (21x), and titles (2x) and a total of 21 riders given the opportunity to develop
in the IDM championship from 2019 till 2023, this weekend saw the end of the IDM chapter for FÜSPORT - RT
Motorsports by SKM - Kawasaki at Hockenheim in Germany. The farewell weekend saw a first highlight on
Saturday with a win and a double podium thanks to reigning IDM Supersport 300 champion Iñigo Iglesias' first
place and an equally impressive third place from Max Zachmann. A second highlight followed on Sunday as Inigo
finished second after a frenzied duel. In the end, the difference between him and the winner was just 0.022
seconds. Max closed the season in eighth place.
The WorldSSP300 team of FÜSPORT - RT Motorsports by SKM - Kawasaki unfortunately experienced many more
challenges a lot further south. As Petr Svoboda crashed in the first race at Motorland Aragon in Spain, he lost
important points in the World Championship battle. Troy Alberto finally got his reward on Saturday by finishing
fifteenth to take a World Championship point. Troy was consistently close to those points in the last few races,
but fell just short each time. Until last Saturday! Sunday unfortunately ended in disappointment as both riders
crashed in Race 2. This unfortunately leaves Petr with no chance of becoming this year's champion.
Team manager Rob Vennegoor: 'To be honest, it feels special that our IDM adventure is over now, but this is also
based on well-considered decisions. But we will never forget the beautiful moments and we would like to thank
everyone who supported us in any way during this unforgettable adventure. That we ended the IDM chapter with
so much success at Hockenheim makes it extra special. Petr unfortunately had a harder time in Aragon. However,
we will do everything we can to end the season on a high next weekend at Portimão. The same goes for Troy who
has made serious progress this weekend and seems ready for the races in Portugal. On to a great final of 2023!
