Steve Plater joins GMT94

Race Corporation — Thu, 29 Nov 2007 19:34:03 GMT

So, Steve will be rockin' in the GMT94 pitbox in 2008 - in my humble opinion, the best signing they have made since the Checa/Gimbert partnership - I predict a refreshing atmosphere in the GMT pit this year - 'Grinner' won't let the team down - and there won't be a 'shit happens' moment, a la Gary McCoy...

2002 Kawasaki W650 priced for quick sale

Race Corporation — Sun, 25 Nov 2007 14:53:03 GMT

I have had some sad news recently that a friend of mine will no longer be able to ride due to ill health. He has asked me if could be possible for me to find a buyer for his pride and joy, so here it is.

It's a very low mileage 2002 Kawasaki W650 that I've just started up after it standing still (wheels off the ground) for around 5 months. New battery, fairly new tyres, taxed and MOT'd until April 2008...I have just taken it out for a test ride and it feels new and just needs a good ...

Between 19 and 20h disaster stroke the race, first some minor crashes then a massive one with following a collision between SERT1 and another bike...impresive moment luckily no one got hurt...but after a few minuts there where some other crashes one even under safety car....it seems that between 18-21h the risk of crashing due to loss of concentration is always near, round 6 in the morning is also hazardous.

meanwhile phase one is doing fine now 5 th place: 21h30

GMT94 is on attack course ...

Kawasaki France

Race Corporation — Mon, 04 Dec 2006 17:10:48 GMT

Word has it that Kawasaki France have been active in trying to get technicians and riders by showering cash around...it's been rumoured that prospective mechanics have been offered double their pay packets, sight unseen, from 2006 - and Frenchman Gwen Giabbani has been approached with a big cash offer (and with a family with 2 growing boys to look after, what do you think he would do?)...and the Kawasaki France team have also signed Steve Plater for the 2007 season.

Now, who's next? Ivan Silva? ...

Didier Van Keymeulen injury

Race Corporation — Tue, 29 May 2007 21:59:14 GMT

Didier has said that it's the first lumbar vertebrae that he has

broken from his Silverstone crash, along with breaking a wrist. Seeing

as the L1 vertebrae is one that is most often damaged in a fall from

height, I will expect video of the accident to be most impressive!

Didier, we all hope you get better soon and get on a bike earlier than the 3 months that some people have postulated.

For those not familiar with lumbar vertebrae, the spinal cord ends at

L1, so we aren't expecting ...

Barcelona 24 hours

Race Corporation — Sat, 07 Jul 2007 18:20:09 GMT

In qualifying it was looking like a straight fight between the local top suzuki boys and the Qatari team, with Folch Yamaha not looking as strong as in the past.

I don't know how the race is going but I do know that Thomas Hinterreiter crashed the factory BMW after just 20 minutes or so after having a problem with the bike. As usual, I know a bit more but I can't say nothin'...

Tom is OK and the team are rebuilding the bike with the intention of using the rest of the time as a test session.

Great ...

Guys at the Isle of Man

Race Corporation — Mon, 11 Jun 2007 12:17:58 GMT

I've been looking for what happened to Sandor Bitter, Christer Miinin and the Bolliger team at the Island - the official site has nothing and, as usual, the lack of press releases from any team in World Endurance will mean that it'll will once again be harder and harder to keep up the profile of the series.

One day I'll give up...but not yet!

No chance for Gwen Giabbani?

Race Corporation — Sun, 20 May 2007 17:20:58 GMT

From what I gather, the decisions taken by KRT have meant that Giabbani would never have a chance of winning the World Championship, as you need to compete in all the rounds to stand a chance - if you fail to race in any round, you're effectively barred from the World Championship, no matter what points you may have at the end of the day...am I wrong?

If this is right, I bet that Gwen is regretting his decision to join KRT for the 2007 season, no matter what amount he's reputed to be paid ...

Anybody partnering with Pitstop Motorcycles in Qatar?

Race Corporation — Sat, 24 Mar 2007 20:47:20 GMT

I'm sure that Modawi Al Ansari is looking for information about the Pitstop Motorcycles team (the other Qatari team!) participating as a wild card in the World Endurance round in Qatar with their Kawasakis - and maybe even a partnership? Can anyone shed any more light on this?

New WEC promoter named

Race Corporation — Sat, 24 Mar 2007 21:01:02 GMT

It's a company called Capitalize, based in London - not far from Race Corporation and actually within walking...well, cycling, anyway...distance.

Now they've been named and Esprit Racing (who many thought would have a great chance) have also been rejected, we're all treading water and waiting for the new official website, due online in about two weeks.

Capitalize also do work for the Yamaha GP team (that's bike racing credentials, then...), Bacardi, Bombay Sapphire Gin and Carlsberg-Tetley ...

SERT is on the move again who can stop them, GMT94 is trying thats for sure, Oliver four former National moto and winner of the 06 edition was a good deal for the Guyot team.

Phase one wasn't so lucky dropped down the charts now but are trying to close the gap now by midnight.
