So who's RS ran out of petrol then? First day out for the team ESE RS/GP125 and after a few tuning adjustments it was running fine.

The test pilot found it comfortable but so different in its power delivery and the way it turned into corners that it was taking some getting used too and the times were way off. Just as everything was coming together it ran out of gas.

Shellracing was going like a rocket and sufferd an involantry ejection from B grade to the expert class.

Pumba and some other young guys on FXR/FZR's and a Honda125T were realy flying. Check out the front brakes on Pumbas bike.

But the race is on and very

we will be back quicker and faster.

Bloody spies with there high tech hidden cameras

Yea still a bit of refinement required to that system as the lever was still quite soft, still managed to get the rear off the ground comming into the hair pin thou

Yeah a wee bit tight into that "homemade" corner, It was a real HP track with the full front straight as a drag race. here's some footage.
