Titanium Circuit

Photo_2

We presented “Titanium Suzuka Circuit” at F-1 race beginning of this month. It was temporary displayed at Welcome Square for the F-1 event, but it is moved to permanent location; “GP Square.” Now you can see the titanium monument in front of the new grand stand.

Are you coming to the final round of the All Japan Championship Road Race this weekend? Then, drop in at the GP Square.

All Japan Championship rd6 in Motegi

Final_2_2 Final_4_2

GP250 class GP2 Proto, MORIWAKI MD600

Following the last race at Okayama, another victory for MD600.

---

Based on the result from Saturdays’s qualifying session, setting up the machine at the morning warm up. But it didn’t work as we expected and it made difficult for our rider to lap in desirable time.

Although, we could only get under 1min55sec, we were able to try different running pattern and we obtained many sufficient data in the race week.

Our entry of All Japan Championship in this season is stop here. Next will be in Spain. We will update the info at here in this blog.

The race week started on Friday with A.R.T. official test under sunny sky. Because we didn’t have any luck in the weather last week test, it became the first Motegi run with completely dry condition. The qualifying session started 10:35 on Saturday morning. Shogo Moriwaki marked 1min54.682sec at earlier in the session. He came back to his pit to revise some setting and went back to the track. He improved the lap time almost another second, finished the session with 1min53.758sec, top of the time sheet.

Now we are ready for the race. Thank you for your support.

USGPRU / MD250 won the 125cc GP class, 2 MD250 finished in 1st and 2nd, left all 125cc 2stroks behind!!

USGPRU final round of 2009 was held on Oct 4 in Florida.

MD250H is competing in Moriwaki MD250H Powered by HONDA class and Pilot125GP class at USGPRU series.

A MD250H won the Pilot125GP class and even next runner up was also a MD250H, finished before all 125cc 2strokes.

Both classes were incredibly dead heat race and it was a great show.

MD600 Motegi test

We’ve been testing the MD600 at Motegi Twin Ring in the last few days to prepare for the All Japan Championship race which is in 10days and further improve the machine potential. We are trying many different approaches at this new circuit to the model. We are running proto ver.#7 and #9.

-----

October 6

Rain. It was not desirable weather but we obtained fruitful data because it was the first test in rain. We got 2min7.930sec that day, mainly focused on checking the machine performance in such wet condition.

October 7

Half-wet track and slicks allowed us to reach 1min57.571sec. The rain got heavier in the afternoon.

October 8

The huge typhoon hit Japan so as Motegi. Rain wasn’t a problem today but the win. It was too dangerous to continue and we had to stop our test.

We are going to Motegi East-course tomorrow. It looks like we are going to have first dry weather of Motegi.

-----

We cannot compare the result of the last 3days with others but we are getting quite confident.
