BMCRC restarts the Season at Cadwell Park with what should have been Round 7. Due to COVID-19 the ACU suspended all racing and 5 Rounds subsequently cancelled.
Due to restrictions this only saw Ian and Foo travelling to Lincolnshire. This left the remainder of the team at their homes either with specific roles to remotely play or to follow via TSL-Timing.
Practice went well despite the unpleasant high temperatures.
We’re pleased with the performance of the Continental Race Attack Comp tyres that we are running this year; and hopefully next year. With only a few ‘slides’ but we expected this due to the extremely high track temperature. Tyre pressures were experimented with adjustments accordingly.
Foo was happy with the bike set-up of the Team CBR #2 and with a set of fresh tyre’s for the morning roll on qualifying.
2 days til we resume the 2020 season at Cadwell Park.
Foo Hinnells Racing – #82 shall be flying the BD Racing UK flag riding the Teams #2 CBR600 prepped by Ian Soilleux in the Thunderbike Sport class. Its been a year since Foo Hinnells Racing – #82 first raced this awesome machine; and relit the fire in his belly.
