::: Application 2026: OPEN - See the text below …
The 101 Cafe Racer Sprint offers the chance for start-ups of the custom scene as well as reckless amateurs to present their classic as well as modern Cafe Racer interpretations on the legendary 1/8 Mile of the Glemseck. Since 2019 also based on smaller, modern single-cylinder and two-cylinder engines.
::: Rules of the style
The 101 Cafe Racer Sprint reflects our own Glemseck 101 history. Cafe Racers were the first motorcycles on our 1/8 Mile setting the starting line for all sprints today. That's why we set a HIGH VALUE on the fact that the motorcycles participating in this sprint are constructions and interpretations in a classic and modern Cafe Racer style. In short: Your motorcycle with which you want to apply – and regardless of the type of engine listed below – should LOOK like a Cafe Racer!

::: How to apply CORRECTLY?
1. Open our »101 Cafe & Classic Racer 1/8 Mile Application Form« and download it. It is a one-page PDF and is valid for both sprints. Please tick which sprint you are applying for. Fill out the form on your computer or by hand (please write legibly!). Scan it or take a good (!) photo of it.
2. Our jury also decides based on your CURRENT photos of the motorcycle. Take up to three photos, no more. Any modern smartphone is fine. Only of the motorcycle! No rider in the picture! Best in landscape format, from the side, in good light and - that’s quite important - in front of a neutral background.
3. In addition, a short technical description of the motorcycle. The emphasis is on short. Many of the details should already be in the application form anyway.
Send all of this as your »101 Application Package« to the 101 email address specified on the form. Please use an email address where you can be reached easily! (We only save this email internally for our 2026 organization and will NOT pass it on.)
The DEADLINE for your application is June 30, 2026!
The 101 Jury decision on the starting slots is planned for week 28 / July. We will inform you about the 101 Jury Day after the deadline on Facebook and/or Instagram. Shortly after the 101 Jury Day, the accepted riders will be notified by us.
