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.
