    Looks like Iannone's got that Suzi Flyin as well

    Andrea Iannone (Team Suzuki Ecstar) made the timesheets fantastic reading for his new home Suzuki on Day 2 of the Sepang test, as he smashed Ducati test rider Casey Stoner’s Day 1 pace to set the fastest lap of the test so far. A 1:59.452 saw the Italian an incredible four tenths clear of the man in P2, Maverick Viñales (Movistar Yamaha MotoGP). Impressing once again, Alvaro Bautista (Pull&Bear Aspar Team) was third.

    Cant bloody wait for the season to start

    Interesting as that stuff is, I always think the big guns hide their lights under a bushel - its such early days yet. Gorgeous Jorge slower than Casey must be galling.

    Yeah I love Mavericks response to that "Well I gave them a good set up from last year"

    Lol

    Legend, I have high hopes for that lad!

    Edit:
    The headline times do not tell the full story, however. Iannone's time was a single fast lap, set pushing on a soft tire. Maverick Viñales did his best lap as part of a string of three laps in the 1'59s, the only rider other than Iannone to get under the two-minute mark. Iannone managed it only once, however, not three times in a row.

    At least to me it looks better than those great big wings. Clever stuff and pretty ?

    Ha ha, very good. That's actually been re-hashed from a TT based sub title skit. The original was about MD defecting from BMW and Guy coming in on the TAS BMW. It's effing hilarious! Along the lines of 'we're losing Michael for a truck mechanic that no one can understand'. You owe it to yourself to search that one out. You won't regret it.

    There was some discussion at practice about accelerating the drying of the track. Mat Oxley said they used to get pit crews to drive rental cars around a track to assist the drying process but predictably that ended badly. "Carnage" was the word he used.

    That is true, and I don't even look at most of them now, but that Guy Martin effort was funny.

    Fair call. I did suspect that it's probably been re-done at least a few times. Still, I love that line: 'They'll be on the Guinness every night'. Gold.

    World's fastest production car = rental car.

    I drive a fair few of them personally and for work, my current "thing" is to see how soon I can get them on the redline, generally it's within 400m of the rental lot. Poor cars...

    I also do fair bit of car delivery, mostly between CHC to ZQN and vice versa and every now and then I take photos for them. Vehicles I've relocated range from small Mazda 2 hatchbacks, Porsche/ BMW sports cars to behemoth 6 berth motorhomes. I personally call them hotel on wheels because that's what they are.

    Anyhoo, yes. I can verify they also have the loudest stereo in the world. And "motorhomes are slow" myth is a total utter bullshit
