Had a great weekend at Cadwell, first time out on the Top Gun Racing 600. The team have put a lot of work into building engines and mapping the bikes with Motec now fitted too.
The good news is that we ran a decent pace for a short circuit straight out of the box meaning that the engine is strong. We also have an identical one as a spare.
Chassis wise the bike is in the ball park but needs fine tuning. We improved it a lot over the weekend but as the bike improved the weather battled against us so was hard to see a clear improvement in lap times.
We came away with a win, 2nd, 4th and a 6th running in with some decent British Championship young lads too (Every one of them is a flipping loon, 3 out of the 4 of them crashed over the weekend!)
We have a few changes that we are going to do to the chassis and clutch plus riding position before the next time we go there so we hope to improve again.
In other news, Wurz has today collected the Superbike from Honda and also been to Maxton to have the new suspension fitted.
He is coming down to my place tomorrow so we can start work on the her and drool over her for a while.
Next test will be 4/5th April at Castle Combe alongside the Factory team of John and Guy. We will have the 600 and Superbike for this test but not the Stocker. Latest on the Stocker is that we could now have it early April. It has gone well past a joke of how hard it is to get hold of one but we have the other bikes to keep us occupied in the meantime….
I’ll hopefully have a new sponsor to announce to you all very soon both as a sponsor to me personally and also to the team for the Superstock bike as main sponsor.
