Two Wheel Racing Complete Successful First Test
The team took part in Official BSB testing at Donington Park and Brands Hatch on the 14th and 19th of March respectively, finishing in a creditable 16th at Donington and 5th at Brands in tricky conditions.
Despite the cold weather the team we're pleased to run through various suspension settings on the bike and to complete the shake down runs of their new motor for 2013.
Chief Mechanic Steve Bradley said:
"It was great to get some laps under our belts and get out with the other Superbike teams, we have an improved engine for this season as we ran a virtually stock motor last year and it was really good to give it a run to test its performance and for Jenny to get used to the increased power and altered engine characteristic's"
Rider and Team Principle Jenny Tinmouth said:
"I'm really pleased with the tests, although it was cold and tricky conditions I was really pleased to be up nearer the front at both tests especially at Brands on a damp track, as although I like the wet I had not mastered riding a Superbike in the conditions yet, so it was a positive step for me and the bike in terms of set up. The new engine feels great and I'm really looking forward to getting back out on the bike soon"
The team also completed mandatory photos and interviews for the British Superbike Championship Website www.britishsuperbike.com and British Eurosport during the test days at Snetterton although the team did not venture out on track due to the extreme cold conditions.
All the British Superbike Championship races can be seen live on British Eurosport, with the first round of the championship taking place on 7th of April.
