Raced at Thruxton on the Fireblade - Video
Posted: Nov 17th, '13, 21:34
My third meeting as a novice and back on the 2004 CBR1000RR. Thruxton is a great track and obviously quick. Just a shame it’s not available for trackdays.
This is the Powerbike Final. Qualified 19th from 43 and finished 22nd. Took it a bit too easy up to the first corner but couldn't regain the places mainly due to clutch slip, which you can hear as I try to accelerate out of the corners.
Had a best lap of 1:25.34 in the Open race with an average lap speed of 99.55 mph. In which I Qualified 25th out of 77 and finished 28th. Happy with the results as it was my first time at the track and having clutch slip.
I have (thanks Gav) also overlaid Race Chrono GPS data as its difficult to judge the speed with the track being so wide and open.
