From Gussenstadt in Germany, the Kaiser Pulling Team around Marcus, Christoph, Stephan and Thomas Kaiser are currently building a new 7700lbs / 3.5t John Deere super stock tractor on component base. For the German team which have won 7 German Championship titles in the super stock class in the past, it's their first component super stock project in their team history. The history of the Kaiser Pulling Team started 27 years ago in 1993 with a Schlüter 950 TVL stock tractor in the DTTO 6t standard class. This stock tractor usually had 95hp, but with some changes on the engine and the fuel pump, the power was increased to 250hp. The Kaiser Family competed with this 950 TVL for a couple of years on the German Pulling tracks.
Only a year later, the people decided to start with a second revised Schlüter tractor, but this time with a bigger version, a 1500 TVL. Usually, the Schlüter tractors were painted from the plant in Munich in red grey colors, but this one was painted in green white colors. The Kaisers together with the Baumeister Family competed with the tractor in the 5t, 6t and the 7.5t DTTO standard class. They won many events and were many times in the top 3 in Germany but never a German Championship title in one of the standard classes. The Kaiser Pulling Team competed with the 1500 TVL for a pretty long time but in the last years only just for fun on a few events in south Germany, like in Krumbach-Breitenthal or in Seifertshofen. From 1994 until 2004 the Little Phantom was driven by Thomas Kaiser, later Hans Baumeister (grandad of Christoph, Stephan and Marcus Kaiser) and Lisa Raiber.
In March 1995, the Kaiser Family did the next step in tractor pulling sport, they bought at that time Germany's most successful Deutz 8006 super stock tractor called ''Green Hacky'' of Paul and Peter Daniels from Anholt. The 2 brothers won 5 German Championship titles with Green Hacky in the 80s. After the purchase, the tractor received a new paint job and with ''White Snake'' a new name. This 95 season was a learning year for the whole team with the super stock diesel technic. In February 96, Thomas Kaiser purchased another super stock tractor, it was a green tractor again but not a Deutz. He bought the John Deere 4455 diesel super stock machine called ''Second Mortgage'' of Kenneth Borenko from the state of New York in the USA. The tractor arrived in time before the 96 German Championship began and was registered in the German Championship and in the Euro Cup as ''Screamin' Phantom''. Screamin' Phantom was driven by Thomas Kaiser and the White Snake by Thomas's wife Margret Kaiser. 1996 was an interesting year for the team. Thomas won the German Championship title in the 3.4t and 4.4t super stock class and Margret finished on a nice 3rd place in the 4.4t class.
In 1997 the success was repeated with the tractors, Thomas won again the German title with the Phantom in the 3.4t and Margret won with the Snake as the first female driver the title in the 4.4t. After that season Thomas purchased for the Screamin Phantom a set of new polished aluminum rims with new cut Firestone All Traction 30.5x32 Puller tires. That gave the John Deere more traction which he also has found out very quickly on the track. The 98 season was finished with round victories and a nice runner up position in the German Championship of the 3.4t super stock class. The 1999 season was a difficult year for the team a lot of problems with both tractors during the season cost them valuable points in the championship and the motivation due to all those problems were pretty down. They tested on White Snake a water-cooled engine with a new turbocharger setup which didn't worked pretty good and the John Deere engine on Screamin' Phantom was not anymore on his top level as in the years before. At the same time, a lots of pullers switched from diesel to alcohol and there also came the first considerations to make that step. The first conversations were made with Willem Veldhuizen, the driver and owner of the John Deere alky burner super stock called ''Magkal Bits N' Pieces'' at the Euro Cup finals in Windenhof, France in 1999. Willem made Thomas different proposals for an alky super stock engine. Before Christmas 1999 the decision was finally made to build a completely new John Deere alky burner super stock. For that new project, the Kaiser Pulling Team purchased a lot of parts of the 99 Magkal Bits N' Pieces engine and many other parts were ordered in Willem Veldhuizen's workshop in Loosdrecht in the Netherlands.
At the same time, Screamin' Phantom's engine was completely dismantled and checked for the 2000 season. The first half-year of the winter off-season 1999/2000 was over and Screamin' Phantom was ready for the season. And the new alky burner? The engine, the gearbox, the rearend and the roll cage were ready but the rest not yet. The plan was to compete the whole 2000 German Championship season with the Screamin' Phantom and to make the first runs with the new alky johnny at the end of the season. Due to a lot of work in their own contracting company that was not possible to compete at the pulls in Germany in the first half of the season. During the summer the Kaiser Family returned on the pulling tracks with the Phantom and Margret Kaiser finished 2 times in runner-up position as best diesel at the rounds in Edewecht and Erkelenz-Holzweiler.
After that season they concentrated fully on their new John Deere alky burner super stock. Shortly after the new year, the new tractor was except for a few things almost ready. In January the whole family went to Willem Veldhuizen's workshop in Loosdrecht with the new John Deere 4455, which were made the last things on the engine and first firing up of the powerplant. The engine in the first alky burner tractor of the team was a bored up 6 cylinder John Deere engine with a displacement of 9l and 3 Holset turbocharger setup. The power plant had a VSP aluminum cylinder head with a billet steel camshaft, a counterweighted JD crank with VSP billet aluminum rods and pistons, a VSP fuel system with a Hillborn fuel pump, a MSD 8 dual coil ignition and a data logger system.
The new John Deere received the name ''Second Chance'' and was registered for the German Championship and the Euro Cup in 2001. The new Second Chance debuted at the 2001 German Championship opener in Füchtorf with Willem Veldhuizen himself in the hot seat. Willem had a good start, but after 20m the engine went out and the pull was over with a broken front axle. The problem was quickly found in the pits, a broken fuel pump was the reason for that problem. A week later a new chance, Eschach-Seifertshofen the home pull of the team and Willem again in the seat of the tractor. Again a good start in front of the Red Shadow sled and the pull was again over after 30m with a broken hall sensor on the engine.
After these two events, it was clear to see that the tractor had the potential to fight for victories in the future. For the rest of the season, Margret drove the new alky John Deere with success but she also had some bad moments during that year of 2001. The first win with the tractor was achieved at the German Championship pull in Krumbach-Breitenthal and further success followed at the Euro Cup rounds in Herning, Denmark with a 2nd place and in Windenhof, France with a 3 place. These 2 great results in the Euro Cup meant they were qualified for the EC. But unfortunately, before that EC in Hörby, Sweden they had a lot of damage on the engine to fix. Due to a pull in Bakel, the Netherlands, the engine blew up, which the team had a lots of work to rebuild a new engine before the European Championship. At the European Championship, the tractor ran like hell and Margret was on the best way to a Full Pull and then a huge backfire under the hood of the Second Chance which also lifted the hood of the tractor. Back in the workshop, the powerplant was dismantled and they found again a broken rod bold. After some talks with Willem Veldhuizen, they decided to build a bigger stronger engine with 10l displacement and better internal parts which should also withstand higher performances.
But 2002 wasn't a better season, many little problems cost them good results and points in the German Championship and in the Euro Cup. The best results in 2002 were a win in Verl, Germany and a runner up place at the Euro Cup in Windenhof, France.
In 2003 all problems were sorted out and the Second Chance ran very well at all national and international events. The Kaiser Family dominated the whole season with the John Deere tractor and won their first title in the 3.5t / 7700lbs super stock class with the Second Chance. Also, the Euro Cup season was very good, a nice runner up place in Bernay, France (only 2 cm behind the winner Magkal Bits N Pieces) and two 3rd place finishes at the rounds in Herning, Denmark and Bettborn, Luxembourg. The team was the whole year to find under the top 4 of the European super stocks in the Euro Cup series. Those good results were rewarded with a great 3rd place in the Euro Cup point standings. Maybe the most disappointing moment was at the 2003 European Championship in Alahärmä, Finland. Second Chance was in top form at this Euro Championship and all their top rivals struggled or had problems. Margret was on the best way to win her first European Championship title for the team and she had past distance of MP Lift from Finland but unfortunately, she tipped the white line on the right side and Margret was disqualified and finished only in 5th.
2001 also marked the last and final season of the Screamin' Phantom in the super stock class. In that year the tractor was driven by Marcus Kaiser, the oldest son of Margret and Thomas Kaiser. After 5 successful years, the team around the Kaiser family decided to convert the John Deere diesel super stock into a pro stock, because the level was too high and too expensive to run the tractor national and international on the top level in the super stock division.
For that switch, there were made changes on the engine and the rest of the tractor but some old parts of the Screamin' Phantom still found the way back into the pro stock. The newly rebuilt tractor debuted at the 2002 German Championship opener in Füchtorf. The team also registered the Best Solution for the Euro Cup. But that first full season was a learning year with highs and lows, sometimes the tractor ran pretty good and sometimes not. But all in all, the team won the first German Championship title in pro stock class in 2002 and repeated that as well in 2003. For the 2003 EC in Finland, the Kaiser team mounted on the 6 cylinder JD engine a new Columbus camshaft, which brought the tractor much more horses under the hood.
Marcus Kaiser behind the wheel had a very good start and was on the way to the Full Pull, but after the 80m mark, the brand new turbo exploded in a big bang due to a leak in the water injection system. After a lot of effort and money during those 2 years, the Team had enough and stopped with the pro stock tractor.
In 2004 some things were changed. After the Kaiser Family stopped with the Best Solution in the pro stock class, the team decided to build a brand new Second Chance alky burner super stock and the old Second Chance was renamed into Best Solution and received a brand new paint job.
The new Best Solution alky burner had its maiden voyage at the Indoor Pull in Zwolle, the Netherlands in 2004. At the first pull of the year, the new Best Solution was driven by Margret Kaiser and she finished in an impressive 6th place. For the outdoor season, she handed the steering wheel over to her son Marcus. Marcus battled the whole season in the German Championship for the title, but unfortunately, some bad luck with the technic cost him the title in the end. The season was finished in runner-up position in the German Championship, 7th in the Euro Cup point standings, and in 9th at the European Championship in Füchtorf, Germany. But back to the new Second Chance. The new ride received a new lighter chassis with a homemade 3 bar steel roll cage, a machined John Deere stock rear end, a machined stock gearbox housing with custom-built gears and shafts, newly cut Firestone Puller 2000HP tires on Midwest aluminum rims and a John Deere 7920 hood. The new Second Chance was powered like his brother Best Solution by a 6 cylinder John Deere engine with 3 turbos on alcohol fuel. The new John Deere 7920 made its maiden voyage after half a year of work at the German Championship pull in Krumbach-Breitenthal. The first outing was successful with a nice 3rd place finish in front of the south German crowd. The second outing for the tractor was at the Euro Cup event in Putten, the Netherlands.
First, the super stock didn't came away from the start and in the second attempt the John Deere ran like hell and the new Puller 2000 tires made so much traction that the tractor was with the front axle sky high. After some up and downs, one of the rear tires lost traction and the front axle hits on the ground very hard. The result was the whole chassis was bent and the front axle plus the weight brackets on the front end were broken. But that shouldn't be the only broken front axle during the time of this tractor, 2 further front axles were crunched in 2005. But back to 2004, the rest of the season was more or less successful with the new 7920, the head gasket of the engine made troubles and the engine ran not perfect yet.
During the next 3 seasons, the team competed with the Second Chance in the German Championship and in the Euro Cup. The best finish was a 3rd place in the 2005 German Championship point standings and a 7th place in the 2006 Euro Cup point standings.
For the 2005 season, Best Solution was overhauled, checked, and received a brand new lighter chassis, which should gave the team more possibilities for moveable weight on the tractor. In that season, the Kaiser Family competed the whole season in the German Championship and on some pulls outside of Germany. The changes during the winter brought the team a lot, the Best Solution ran reliably without any big problems and the new chassis worked pretty well too. The reward for driver Marcus Kaiser and the rest of the team was a well-deserved German Championship title in 2005.
For the 2007 season, Second Chance received a facelift with a new look and some little updates on the engine. They showed that new look for the first time at the Indoor Pull in Zwolle, the Netherlands. Due to less time they didn't competed on all German pulls with the tractor and unfortunately at a show pull in Grimmen, Germany, the 6 cylinder engine blew up in a spectacular fireball.
After 2006, the Kaiser Family competed not very much on the Pulling tracks for the next 6 years due to less time and a lots of work in their company.
In 2010, the Kaiser family competed not on all pulls but at the most and Second Chance also returned with an overhauled engine in the middle of the season But that overhauled engine was again gone after the season opener in Füchtorf, Germany. The tractor ran as never before and Marcus Kaiser was on the way to a full pull until the crankshaft broke and the engine exploded in a big fireball. Unfortunately, the damage was so big that the Team decided not anymore to return with the John Deere 7920 on the pulling tracks. Instead, the focus was now fully on the Best Solution. In 2014, the Best Solution received a completely new chassis, a facelift and many more little changes. They did the first run with the newly built chassis in Krumbach-Breitenthal, but some technical problems with the engine prevented further pulls at the end of the 2014 season. But the 2015 season, shouldn't start better for the team, problems with the fuel system cost them a lot of points in the German Championship before they had sorted out the problem. The turning point came during the summer in Krumbach-Breitenthal, the result was a well-deserved victory in front of the home crowd. For the next 3 seasons, the Kaiser Pulling Team almost dominated the whole German Championship with the tractor. They secured 3 German Championship titles in a row from 2016 - 2018. For 2018 a new bigger engine with a displacement of 10.4l was built, because the old 8.7l engine blew up at a show pull in Knutwil, Switzerland. But with the old heavy stock cast iron rear end and the heavy machined stock gearbox housing, it wasn't possible to run the John Deere with the bigger engine on maximum power, because they didn't had the necessary moveable weight to get the tractor well balanced in difficult track conditions. With the new cut Mitas Powerpull tires in 2019 (just mounted to test the new tires on the track, knowing well, it will not work out best), they also had to turn down the drawbar of the tractor, which also was a disadvantage for them. So the only way to solve this problem was to build a completely new super stock machine on component base for the future. During the year 2019, the Kaiser Family also decided to run the last and final season with the Best Solution and then to fully concentrate on the new component tractor project for 2020/21. But back to the new component super stock project. The first considerations to built a component super stock machine go back to 2004, when they planned their second alky burner but those plans were again discarded. But those component tractor plans were resumed again in 2015. During this time the first drawings and construction work of the component chassis were done on a 3D CAD computer program by Marcus Kaiser. That makes it later easier to manufacture all the parts for the component tractor, which saves a lot of time in the building process at complex parts. The first chassis parts for the new machine were produced during the winter of 2017. But due to less time and the work on the Best Solution during the season cared for this that the new project only progressed in small steps during the last 5 years.
But I think the biggest question for all the fans is what is the difference between a normal super stock and a component super stock?
A normal super stock is a tractor with a customized rearend, gearbox and clutch bell housing from a normal stock tractor with a homemade steel frame. A component super stock is built like a modified tractor with a shortened semi-truck/custom built sheet metal rearend, a custom-built gearbox / reverser and a billet aluminum/steel bell housing. The disadvantage of a normal super stock tractor is the heavyweight of the customized stock tractor parts which today at the high performance and the special pulling tires lead to an unfavorable weight distribution, which means you have not enough movable weight on a tractor on good pulling tracks. With a component tractor you have not to fight with these problems, due to the lighter rear end, gearbox, etc. that means you have much more moveable weight which makes it easier to find the right weight distribution for all kinds of pulling track conditions. The maintenance on the whole tractor is much easier too and takes less time in demanding.
But why have Kaiser Pulling Team really decided to built a completely new component super stock?
Well, this came up when the first component tractors around Willem Veldhuizen and the Clarke Pulling team showed up… Increasing hp needed to set on the ground.
Therefore everything needed to get lighter by not weaken major components such as driveline parts etc… At a certain point, it makes no sense to go ahead with a „standard rearend“ running 3000hp+ - they did well over all the years but never could show all the potential that was in the motor and the setup. An all-time lowered hitch and semi-cut tires were the best way to keep the nose on a „not sky-high mode“ but this will not turns into meters. Instead, it showed up in a lot of maintenance of the driveline assembly in order to keep breakage out. Increasing the cast iron (OEM) rearend over the last 8 years, there is no more option to make this John Deere rearend lighter in weight by increasing stability and reliability for what we want to run on the motor- and tire-side. There needed to be a change to a component tractor. The Kaiser team knew this long time ago, but never had the time and the possibility to make a complete stepover to a brand new tractor. In the meanwhile in Germany competition gets more tuff, so there is a need to get more hp to the ground efficiently – running reliably is still the most important way to go but there should be the chance to run what you got and not reduce yourself with mechanical limits. The Kaiser Pulling Team decided in 2015 to make the stepover and began planning in CAD and collecting parts. There was no need to put this project in a hurry because they ran very good with the "old style" Best Solution gathering German Champion in 2016, 17 and 18 – all with consistency and steady performing. Also, they wanted to see, where ist the absolute limit of a John Deere OEM rearend powered alky super stock. The new component super stock will have a new homemade Domex 700 wedge frame with a new constructed homemade 2 bar steel roll cage, a Kirkey Racing driver seat with a 6 point harness, a new hydraulic steering, a newly developed front axle suspension with a new homemade air ride, new homemade steel wheelie bars and a DAF semi-truck rearend with a newly constructed drawbar.
Completely different in the tractor will be the engine brackets compared to the old tractor. The engine sitting now in an extra homemade aluminum subframe. That means the engine is floating between the frame rails which should give a more stable chassis and less twist in the frame rails. Currently only a few other super stock teams in Europe using this concept. The first considerations to use this concept was made in 2013 when they did the new chassis for the Best Solution. Also, the driver's position and the position of the engine has changed on the new chassis.
The driver's position on the new frame is more forward and the center of gravity is lower. The engine sitting with the newly developed subframe lower in the chassis. With all those changes the team hopes to have a better balance with those Mitas Powerpull tires on pulling tracks with a lot of traction. The rest of the laser cut and bent steel sheet metal parts for the new chassis will be manufactured by their new project partner called ''Metallbau Lettner'' from Finningen in South Germany. Metallbau Lettner supports the Kaiser Pulling Team with high-quality laser cut parts for their new tractor since March this year. The young small company was formed by Robert Lettner 3 years ago and currently has 10 full-time employees, which are building and machining metal, steel and aluminum parts for different agricultural machinery companies and private costumers. The team is very happy to have this partner on board for this new project.
The DAF semi-truck rearend was shortened and receives an original DAF center section with a needle bearing DAF differential, a DAF ring and pinion gear, custom-built Steel half shafts, stock ZF planetary carrier housing with ZF AP11 planetaries and laser cut steel brake discs with Mico aluminum brake calipers. The rear axle was shortened and modified for the component machine by Zeinstra Chassis from Ouderkerk aan de Amstel in the Netherlands. The Zeinstra built rearend was already purchased in 2017 for the project. When things work fine, Marcus and Christoph also have planned to make some further changes on the rearend with new lighter parts to save more weight. One of the plans is to replace the heavy cast iron planetary carrier housings by new lighter homemade aluminum housings.
The most interesting stuff on the new component machine are the hood and the fenders. The German team had several options during 2015-2019 in case of hood and design work. They were looking on what is state of the art, what is affordable in price and what do they like most. It was a dream starting in 2008 building something „retro“ but never had the chance to get a hood (they also didn´t had the "need" to buy one).
Mid 2019 they decided to stay with the 4450 series model or change to a 45XX Series due to have more space under the hood. Unlikely Team Carle (Midnight Deere) built up a 45XX Model Alky burner, so that was not the best idea to go for a second one. Further considerations were to use a current John Deere 7R or 8R hood with GFK fenders for the new new project. But those thoughts were quickly over, because without any support of a John Deere dealer or the John Deere company a brand new hood for the tractor was too expensive for them. Another plan was to use a John Deere hood of the 8000 series which was built between 1995 and 1999, but this one was very difficult to find on a used parts market in the internet. But then the chances to get a 7520 hood + fenders from the USA changed things. Another point was why they have decided to use a old 7520 hood, because there are enough new and actual model type tractors running the big super stock class.
The John Deere 7520 wasn't a normal stock tractor, it was an articulated tractor with 4 equally sized wheels. Articulated tractors are high horse-powered four-wheel drive (4WD) agricultural tractors that articulate (bend) in the middle. The tractors feature four tires, or sets of tires, of equal size that give the tractor lots of traction. These tractors are often used for tillage and pulling large grain carts. In the early 70s, the 7020 was the second biggest built articulated tractor after the 7520 of the US company from Waterloo, Illinois in the USA. The 7020 John Deere was powered by a 6 cylinder intercooled-turbocharged engine with a displacement of 6.6l on diesel fuel.The power plant produced 145hp at 2100rpm. The articulated tractor was built between 1970 and 1975 in the John Deere plant in Waterloo.
But before the hood is ready on the pulling tractor, there's a lot of sheet metal work to do. Currently the work on the hood is in progress. The new homemade aluminum sheet metal side shields for the hood are almost done. Like on the old super stock tractor, the Best Solution the side shields on the hood can
be removed and the hood can be opened electrically for inspections on the engine, turbochargers and the clutch. Also really oldschool are the John Deere sheet metal fenders for the component tractor. The old fenders come of a old John Deere 6030 stock tractor from the early 70s. In its time it was one of the biggest stock tractors worldwide. For the optimum grip on the pulling tracks in Germany, the team will use a set of new cut Mitas Powerpull 30.5x32 tires on used polished Midwest aluminum rims. The new Mitas tires were purchased as slick from the Eager Beaver Pulling Team in the Netherlands in the winter of 2017. After that the profile into the new Mitas tires were cut by the Dutch Pulling tire cutter and farm stock competitor Hans Heesakers. The used Midwest rims on the tires were purchased from the Fox Pulling Team in Denmark many years ago and were used before on their old John Deere 7920 Super Stock called ''Second Chance''.
Also completely new in the tractor will be the drivetrain. Due to the switch to a component tractor, there can be no drivetrain parts taken over of the old Best Solution tractor because the parts of the old-style super stock wouldn't fit in the new component super stock. That means for the team, all drivetrain parts must be completely new manufactured for the component ride.
The new drivetrain in the component machine receives a brand new JGGH Engine & Transmission Solutions 3 speed transmission (3 forward, 1 reverse) with a new custom built JGGH coupler shaft between the rear axle and the transmission, a custom built steel driveshaft and a new homemade Kaiser Performance 11inch centrifugal clutch setup with 5 discs. The new homemade centrifugal clutch will be covered by an SFI safety proved Browell aluminum bell housing. The JGGH transmission has a CNC-milled billet aluminum housing with billet steel shafts and custom built SSAB Toolox gears.
JGGH Engine & Transmission Solutions is the company of Jurrien van de Geer and Geert de Heus from Overberg in the Netherlands. The Jurrien and Geert are not very unknown in the Dutch tractor pulling sport, they also own the 4.5t / 9920lbs John Deere 7710 farm stock / super sport machine called ''Secret of the Valley''. During the last years, the guys have built a lot of engine and transmission components for different pulling teams in the Netherlands.
The new component super stock project will have a turbocharged 6 cylinder John Deere engine with a displacement of 10.4l on alcohol fuel. The engine was already tested from 2018 on and ran pretty well in the old Best Solution. Before the engine run in the new tractor, the power plant will be dismantled and checked during the building time. But the John Deere power plant also will receive some changes and new parts, like a new intake and exhaust manifold and new bigger turbochargers.
The us American powerplant in tractor has a bored up John Deere cast iron stock block with Darton billet steel sleeves, a billet steel crankshaft with VSP billet aluminum rods and pistons, a VSP billet aluminum cylinderhead with a new homemade intake manifold, a VSP billet steel camshaft, a new bigger 3 turbocharger setup, a new homemade exhaust manifold, a homemade aluminium oil pan, a homemade fuel tank, a VSP fuel system a VSP fuel pump, a Aviaid oil pump with a homemade Kaiser Performance oil filter, a MSD 8 Plus dual coil ignition and a Racepak data logger.
With these new bigger turbos and the new intake manifold, the engine should be good for around 3500 to 4000hp.
The hopes with the new JD component super stock are to put down the same reliable performance which they ran all the years on the old tractor, but with the option to get the Mitas tires working well and the hitch on nearly max level. It´s not about building an „overkilling weapon“. The major Idea is to lower maintenance time (of which the the team had a lot with the OEM stuff) and keep the engine on a good smooth running setup by closing the gap in balance to other competitors in their class.
The plans for the future are to be able to improve track performance by getting better balance and a bit more hp.
The Kaiser Pulling Team still got some things to do on this setup they build right now in the future such as lighten the rearend, find the perfect ratio of the driveline and find the perfect setup of the Mitas tires – but in the first step Marcus, Christoph, Stephan and Thomas want to see if this new concept works for them before they spent a lot of time and money in lightweight components such as planetaries, rearend, center section, etc. they got some options laying in the shelf to switch over for, but first they want to collecting data step by step on the pulling track.
If the new John Deere is ready to run the Kaiser Pulling Team will compete in the German Championship again. A start in the Euro Cup series is currently not planned for the future. The maiden run of the new component super stock machine is planned for 2021 / 2022.
