The 2014 European Stock 1000 Series season was a motorcycle racing series that started over 2–4 May 2014 in Navarra, Spain and ended over 4–6 July at the Automotodróm Slovakia Ring, Slovakia.[1] European Stock 1000, abbreviated as ACC 1000, was a part of Acceleration 2014, a series of festivals combining top class car and bike racing with music and entertainment.[2] Next to ACC 1000, there was the Formula Acceleration 1, based on the former A1 Grand Prix, the MW-V6 Pickup Series, which used modified BRL V6 cars, the Legend SuperCup, based on legends car racing, and the European Stock 600 Series, which featured slightly slower bikes and slightly younger riders than the ACC 1000. As for the music, on Friday evenings, David Hasselhoff hosted "Celebrate the 80's and the 90's with The Hoff", a dance party featuring 2 Unlimited, Haddaway, Kim Wilde, and others. Saturday evenings saw performances of international DJs.[3]
Two different riders won the races that were held towards the championship. At Navarra, Juan Mari Olías won ahead of Oscar Borrajo Rodriguez and Rafael Samper Izco. While at the Slovakia Ring, Radoslav Dulík won ahead of Ladislav Miklánek and Roman Kučera.
The 2014 calendar consisted of two races. Originally, seven were planned. However, Acceleration in Zolder, Acceleration at Paul Ricard, and Acceleration at Grobnik were cancelled on 27 June 2014[4] and Acceleration at Hungaroring was cancelled on 20 August 2014.[5] Finally, during Acceleration in Assen, the European Stock 1000 Series was replaced by the national Open Wegrace Cup series, whose riders were not eligible to score points for the Acceleration championship.
