I had a faster driver in a newer GT3 behind me the whole lap and gave him space to pass on a few of the main corner exits at Adenauer Forst and Ex-Muhle but he was happy to sit behind me.

Its mine mate. Its a stunning beautiful thing to drive.

Funny you mention the Sims. I have a full on PC race sim with seat, steering wheel, pedals ,etc and run iracing on it. PC car sims are the only worthwhile option if you want something acurate but I guess you can get some use out of learning on the console bike games. My excuse is I can learn the...

I've got full brembo calipers with Z04 and HPK discs now and it's other wordly but the biggest difference I found whilst building the bits up was changing the master cylinder to a Brembo RCS (surprised someone above didn't think it was much difference but I guess its down to other factors as...

Good to see they sorted it. Its always a little hit and miss if the dealer knows you are tracking it. You are relying on having a good relationship with them basicallly but I would expect any good dealer to sort this out.

I definitely notice the spongy quickshifter as well on both the new S1000RR and the GS I'm using. They work but a bit unreliable in a similar way to the Ducati ones and you lose your trust for them under pressuer. Great to see the bike is going well. How come you didn't fit your front...

This is a very good point. They can only sort out these type of problems if they get genuine feedback so always best to have a relationship where you are open about stuff.

No way thats awesome! I used to compete in an R32 GTST.

Look at all that lovely mid range torque! There's a huge amount of extra push where it can be used. It will make the bike so much more relaxing to ride.

Anyone know what the pros are doing with the sensor placement?

I'm supposed to be waiting until March but I'm so tempted to try and get it earlier since I was top of the list in the beginning at Alton!

Good to see you started to enjoy it after a bit of settling in. I often find the tracks that are difficult to find a rhythm on to begin become fun after a day or two once the brake markers are worked out and you can carry some more speed through the slower hairpins. I had too many other things...

100% agree. Just like 600hp Nissan going faster than a Porshe or Ferrari, it doesn't make it more desirable or enjoyable to drive, it just means its going faster! I'm the first one to take smug satisfaction from going around the outside of a litre bike on a 600 but it doesn't mean I'd rather...

Can't wait to see some phots and vids.

I'd massively recommend shelling out for Brembo Z04 if you have the HPK discs because the performance is phenomenal (Road Race Performance Shropshire do good deals, mention me). If you dont want to spend so much then the best similar alternatives are the TRW / Lucas Endurance compounds. They are...

Thats a great advert, I really like it and imo it shows exactly what that tyre is designed for.

Agree with what has already been said. Metzeller K3 are a really good option since they have most of the performance of the Supercorsa but are a lot better in the rain and cold as well which the Supercorsa definitley are not. The M7RR are a very good alternative to the Rosso Corsa if you need...

Yeah, I'd be proper gutted if I'd gone to all that trouble to get there and didn't ride. A hollow victory for the other guys!

Parkes times were only a second slower in the dry and still competitive in the rider order. Perhaps they were a lot slower in the rain or something? I can understand how Canepa would hog the bike once he saw the Yamaha Factory team was out and he got a sniff of the victory that wasn't there before.
