Pirelli RR Series - Phillip Island, 26-28 Aug

[Marshy]

This event is one of the reasons I didn't go to PI for St George (there were other very good reasons too, like it being the middle of freaking winter and brass monkey weather). Anyone else in?? It's a round of the BEARS National series, plus a major Vic club race. A heap of us have been a bunch of times, and it's always been a fantastic event.

[Mstevo]

I was thinking about it, but then got offered a ride in the PCRA 1hr at WP on the same weekend
all the best

[Turbo]

This was soooo good last year! I can't make it this year unfortunately.
Have a blast mate, I'll be there next year!

[zooker]

I wish I had the seemingly unlimited budget of some of you guys. I could only afford one so I chose the series I actually score points in :P (all about dem plastic trophy's)

Enjoy for those that go !

[Marshy]

That was another factor in not going to St George PI round. There are limits.

This is how I do it ;)

still deciding given the forecast / funds / and nursing the start of a head cold (Wife and son have had it for 2 weeks now)

And it's a big grid

Only if I can have you lap times :(

[chubb]

Lock up your bikes and trailer securely... Lots of car and bike thefts down that way and around the eastern areas of Melbourne lately.

No worries man.

All the best to everybody down at Pirelli RRC this weekend!
Hope the weather stays nice for some great racing! :thumb:

One of the reasons I didnt go, It's always a shitfight to get in because PI wont open the gates till ,then getting your garage open is the next problem

YES! Last year 600cc was out first and we had 15 minutes to unload the trailer, get bikes and warmers up to temp, sign on and suit up! I ended up missing the first session!!

You must know some useful people (Jeebus?), because the weather cleared up nicely before lunch, and was fine all arvo!

Bike was tops! Loving it.

It was a bit shit, but fortunately nobody was in a hurry to go out on a wet but drying track, so it was all good.

On the plus side, and in stark contrast to St George, we were scrutineered in our own garages this arvo. Easy peasy. We even got transponders already. So tomorrow morning is just turn up - no rush - and flick the warmers on. Everything is done!

Unless you were in Garage No > 27 in which case PI threw us out Before Scrutineering .. 2 hours wait for nothing ..... bugger

Dunno why Race 2 doesn't have a result yet. Protest, maybe?

I was 3rd over the line. Chiodo on what looked like a Moto2 bike came past like we were standing still. So it's really a 2nd place, cos he's in F2 or F3, not F1. That's my story anyway!

It's supposedly a 675, but I doubt it. It's bloody fast!

For what it's worth (not much, I reckon, because it's a bit hit-and-miss) I had the highest top speed in race two. 281 through the trap. Nothing wrong with the legs on the Aprilia. It's sitting on the limiter for the last 100-200 metres, so doesn't get any faster.

That sounds like a challenge!! :madgrin:

[Kimbo]

Well done mate, What happened in race 4,
If you can make it to the 100 metre mark probably hit 290- 300 by the timing

[Marshy]

Race 4 got red flagged after two laps, so a full restart was scheduled for after lunch. We restarted, I got the holeshot and led the first lap, crossed the line, then it got red flagged again! So they cancelled it. Bummer. But I had my lap in the sun ;)

Could this be the reason

[Marshy]

Vids. The launch in race 1 is worth watching, and then race 4.

They said in the briefing that you could ride on it. I thought it was important to test that out. There's not a huge amount of grip, if I'm honest.
