Donington Park, chilly October day, sunny outlook, happy reflection on 2015 and back with the ARB Rcaing A-Team. Winner.
Saturday’s qualifying was a great time for the team to get back in the swing of things. Red flags and usual gremlins did their best to hinder but we kept it steady after the 9 week lay-off and cruised in to a low grid spot, happy with settings from 100% Suspension and dragging back some pace towards the session end.
Martin saw the team away from the gun and cracked the first half hour ready for a pit and replacement from Rab. Andy followed and made meaningful progress with a hefty 50 minute stint. Not pleased with that, he followed suit later that day to slice 5 seconds off his PB!
Great to have the team back together for the last round. Not as smooth as planned but that’s racing and why we run in the endurance series. Time won and lost in the pits is critical and all adds to the adrenaline of the moment and smiling faces at the end of the day.
We took the flag with a 3 place improvement on grid position so all went in the right direction. Happy with that and ready for new projects…
The year would never have happened in such style without the invaluable sponsors, kind enough to lend a helping hand to the grass-roots enthusiasts that form ARB Racing. Bikers Gearbox, APP Lifting, 100% Suspension, BGR Motorsport, Guy Rhodes Photography, RatMally Race Graphics, RJS Superbikes. Thanks to all.
The GSXR1000 is now for Sale and we’ll be posting some details here. Of course that means there’s a new steed coming to the ARB Racing paddock for 2016. You’ll be the first to hear. Promise.
Lastly and by no means least, Orange Army, we salute you!
