Simson und der Motorrad-Rennsport in der DDR: Eine außergewöhnliche und spannende Dokumentation

Motorcycle road racing has always been an exciting affair, ever since motorcycles were invented. In the 1930s, DKW, under the umbrella of Auto Union, dominated motorcycle racing worldwide. After the war, it was the IFA plant in Zschopau and the Simson plant in Suhl that reactivated motorcycle racing.
After the change in the production program in Suhl, it was only the MZ plant that advanced racing and achieved success at world championship level. After scientific and technical findings were illegally smuggled out of the country in 1961 with hired people, the world championship title in the class up to 125 cc that had been within reach was destroyed.
Finally, MZ stopped racing activities in 1977. This greatly weakened the basis for the material and technical area.

At the urging of the ADMV of the GDR, the idea arose in the two-wheeler combine in Suhl to commission a private company in Zwickau to develop road racing technology. In this book, the author describes how this happened in the period from 1980 to 1990 in an authentic and precise way - a realistic reading of GDR sport.
