Speer Regio Cup Qualifying | Wildcard | First Time Hockenheim IDM Layout

In this video, I take part in the Speer Regio Cup qualifying as a wildcard rider, riding the Hockenheim Circuit IDM layout for the very first time. The goal was to get familiar with the track and work on finding a consistent pace, but the session had its challenges.

🔧 Session Overview:

Quali Laps at the Hockenheim IDM layout with my Ducati Panigale V4R 2024.

Running Pirelli SCX rear tire — but after a near off-throttle highsider on the first flying lap, confidence in rear grip was affected.

Struggled to piece together a clean lap due to limited track knowledge and heavy traffic.

On my fastest attempt, I caught two riders in the final sector, which cost time.

🏍️ Bike Setup:

Ducati Panigale V4R 2024
Akrapovic Full Exhaust System
Pirelli SCX rear tire

🎯 Key Takeaways:

Learning phase on a new track — working on lines, braking points, and bike behavior.
The SCX tire offered good potential, but the early moment of instability impacted my pace.
Traffic management in qualifying is critical, especially on unfamiliar circuits.

🏁 For Track Day & Racing Enthusiasts:
If you’re into track riding or club racing, you probably know how tough it can be to put everything together — especially when conditions or confidence aren’t ideal. This video shows a real-world example of working through that.
