Good morning.
Yesterday was the test session.
Originally, it was scheduled to be divided into two sessions, morning and afternoon, but because of repeated red flags, it was changed into three sessions instead.
By paying for two entries, it was possible to run two bikes, but that also meant the number of machines on track was enormous.
With EWC, SST, stock bikes, special classes, and more, there were well over 100 machines on the circuit.
On top of that, each team was only provided with a single transponder for lap timing, so the lap times and positions displayed on the timing monitors were not reliable at all.
As for us, we focused on confirming the new-spec engine that will be used in the race, while also checking the complete electronics package matched to it.
Alan and CoCo were running in the 52 range.
Taiga entered the 53 range.
As race pace, it was exactly within our expectations.
If nothing breaks,
if we make no mistakes,
if we avoid penalties,
and if my own karma is good enough…then surely the results will follow!
