Cadwell Park October 2010 ~ Championship Finale

Cadwell Park, in autumn, we’ve just had a week of frost covered mornings and now were going into the final race weekend of the year… Championship deciders in every class…. We must be mad.

The ‘TESTING’ Day

A test day to test the team, October the 29th was a cold damp day with a cutting wind gusting at 35mph, track opened at 09.00hrs, before 09.30hrs we had had our first crash, a fast off at Park bike and rider tumbling to a twisted halt, second bike suffered a mechanical failure rendering a £ 1,400 repair useless, add to this wildlife, cooked tyre warmers, our first failed scrutineering and an all night scavenge hunt to effect repairs and you’ll understand why our test day was deemed so testing that it deserves a report of its own.

Gap Closed ! Race On….

With the final round of the 2010 series looming fast a final track day at Cadwell Park presented itself as the last opportunity to find that quick lap, to close the deficit between Adam and I and create the chance of achieving my second racing goal, to set the teams fastest lap over a weekend.

lap after lap the lean angle increased through the fast left at Dibeni, knee and boot scraping the tarmac wearing through the hard protection and into costly leather. The blagged tyres were spent, I think they were trying to say something, the rear slides out an instant before the front slides at the point Ady had gone down in race 1, I gather it up only to lose the rear again hard out of the right hander, they weren’t saying anything they were shouting STOP PLEASE!!!

Pembrey S.Wales, Motogrande Race ~ September 2010 Words and pictures by G. Levy Test Day The first few sessions of the test day were track familiarisation as I have not been to Pembrey before, so it was a slow build up of speed as you get a feel for grip and what gears to be [...]

Pembrey in action

For your viewing pleasure is some footage I took of the Hottrax Motorsports Michelin Power Cup and Motogrande Races at Pembrey September 2010. Not the greatest video footage in the world but you get a good idea of whats involved going into turn one and also what happens if you get it wrong.

Pembrey S.Wales ~ 3hr Race Report

Apex Racing ~ Official Race report, 3 hr Junior Endurance Race, Pembrey September 2010 Now I wouldn’t say I was brimming with confidence going into the 6th round of the championship but I have a bit of soft spot for Pembrey. At last years Motogrande race my R6 screamed its head around the grippy little [...]

Two meetings to go

The story so far…   (track back through the race reports for a full report)    Snetterton, April  The wrong place at the wrong time when the safety car came out (twice!) saw us finish in a respectful but disappointing 6th place  Cadwell, May  Poor tyre choice and once again at the wrong place at [...]
