Pro Class
The Pro class grid was full of international talent, including three Flat Track World Championship riders: Dutchman Menno van Meer and the local young talents Nikita Alyani and Marius Kircher. Alongside them, fellow Dutchman Richard Japin, usually riding a Rotax, raced a 450 DTX this time after engine troubles sidelined his usual machine. The World Championship riders mainly battled among themselves, delivering a show worthy of a GP.

Amateur Class
The Amateurs delivered tight racing, but Dutchman Bart Giezen was unstoppable, dominating every heat and the final. The promotion from the Rookie Class worked well for Finn Lohheider, who finished second. Christian Weier steadily improved his feeling with the bike and track heat by heat, securing third place. Notably, Thilo Günther, co-commentator for the weekend alongside former Speedway World Champion Egon Müller, competed in the Amateurs class on an electric Stark Varg. The electric flat track bike’s power proved difficult to handle, causing a few crashes, but his effort was appreciated and cheered by the crowd.

The most remarkable aspect of the third round of the 2025 German Flat Track was not just the racing, but the wonderful atmosphere. Organizer Maik Lüders, a former speedway rider himself, highlighted how much the flat track community reminds him of the spirit and camaraderie of early speedway days. Hosting the first Moon Race at Halbemond was both a milestone and a starting point, and judging by the action on track and the smiles in the paddock, it certainly won’t be the last.
