Would be good.

His best season was the one where he chopped teams 3 or 4 times and seemed to be able to finish top 5 regardless of what make of bike he was on.

Can't believe nobody watched this. Thruxton is soooooooooo fast, loved the smoking rear tyres from the Hondas and a couple of interesting races that really crunched things up at the top end for Showdown spaces.

The support races were pretty special too.

Good days racing, loads busier than I've ever seen it before although I haven't been for a couple of years. Got a little damp on the ride home though.

Great racing, recorded it as I was out and just caught up. Shame you can't do a trackday at Thruxton frown

Watched it last night...wow that drifting and smoking rear tyres in the last few laps was something else.

I am presuming that the bikes and their electronic aids do most of the work combined with a lot of skill?

Or could you ride an 'Analogue' bike and do the same?

I'm sure they all use a series specified ECU, with no traction control, launch control and anti wheelie .
