Super Sport Testing - Session 2

We just got back from MMRT - Chennai after a pretty satisfying testing on the 600 CC inspite of Sarath's huge crash entering C1. Vikram, Poncho and Ramji had their first experience of the Yamaha YZF - R6 with Vikram clocking the fastest followed by Poncho. Ramji however was still struggling the get his rhythm going on the R6 but showed signs of improvement towards the end of the session with improved lap times. A lot of setup changes done and lot more to be done on the R6 before we have a perfect package, we also tested Michelin Power One which proved to be an amazing rubber for the track and we will be most probably use Michelins for the whole season.

But the revelation on the track both on Saturday and Sunday was Sarath Kumar riding the Honda CBR 600 RR, showed tremendous progress in his lap times in every session although this was his first ride on the 600 Super Sport. He suffered a crash entering C1 with no injuries, however the front end of the bike is completely damaged and we have to put it together before the MRF Challenge on Jan 30-31. He is proving to be a promising young lad for the team and has a very promising racing career ahead of him.

Sarath is going to need a of support from our fans, so please do support him in all his races and watch out for the new kid on the block #69, Sarath Kumar.
