Welcome to
WORLD MOTORCYCLE ENDURANCE RACING
- and a whole lot more.


I've had this site for seven years now and it's now reached the stage where the pleasure of doing it is tempered by the rising costs. I hate to do it but I suppose I really have to beg for some help. If you have had a good year, please help me keep this site running!

PHOTO'S THEY'D RATHER FORGET


I KNOW...IT'S HAPPENED TO ME AS WELL...

If you have any pictures that qualify as "Photo's They'd Rather Forget", PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE send them to me HERE for inclusion in this feature.


THE GERMANS ABSOLUTELY LOVE PHASE ONE...

Yup, I do not make this up...forget RMT21, the Austria Yamaha team, any BMW or KTM or otherwise Teutonically-influenced team. Check out the German Phase One Fanseite...der Homepage der Deutschen Fans

GWEN GIABBANI NO LONGER WITH KRT...

News just in is that major teams will be scrambling to pick up French racing superstar and policeman Gwen Giabbani now that he is no longer with the factory Kawasaki Racing Team, KRT. No news yet from Christian Bourgeois' team why he's not longer riding with them - but here at Race Corporation, we don't believe that it will be long before he is snapped up by another of the major teams...more news as soon as it comes in.

The Kawasaki Racing France website doesn't work anymore, so it's no longer in the teams list.


GMT94 GET YET ANOTHER SPONSOR

Christophe Guyot has long been known as a staunch Rock 'n Roller - and Gibson Guitars have now formally recognized this, as they will be making a GMT94 Custom in time for the 2008 Bol d'Or. First word is that this limited edition WILL be available for sale...so you can get something to match your GMT94 Yamaha Replica!

Guitars that burn...


DAMIAN CUDLIN SCORES BIG IN GERMANY

Australian Damian Cudlin has burst onto the German IDM Supersport scene with double podium finishes at the series opener at Lausitzring in Germany on the weekend. Starting from the 6th on the grid, Cudlin made a terrible start in the first race of the 2008 IDM Championship, languishing in 12th place on the opening lap before beginning his charge through the field. In a clinical display, Cudlin sliced through the pack one by one aboard his Dunlop shod Yamaha R6 to eventually reach the final step on the podium in 3rd place.

"When I'm not racing, I'm teaching race schools and I show people how to get off the line all the time, but all I showed today was how NOT to start a race.“  Damo said. "I made things a lot harder for myself with that slow first lap but I made up for it later on. I just felt really strong on the bike, particularly when the others were fading and I was so determined to get onto that podium. It was a nice reward for all the hard work I've been putting in.“

Damo's second race on Sunday proved to be better still as he showed he was in no mood to hang around, moving from 5th to 3rd on the second lap of the race. Reigning Supersport Champion Sebastian Diss was next in Damo's sights as the pair exchanged blows for the next series of laps. Losing ground on the leader all the time, Cudlin made a pass that stuck on Diss as he began chasing Triumph's Arne Tode. However Tode was too fast on the Lausitzring complex and held his advantage over the next 5 laps.
Cudlin then came under fire from team mate Rico Penzkopfer as the fight for 2nd became a hotly contested affair. Trailing Penzkopfer on the final lap, Cudlin made a stunning last lap pass to take 2nd at the flag.

"That really was a lot of fun! I tried to get to the front as quickly as I could in the hope of chasing down Tode but he was just too quick today. By the time I got into 2nd he was already away with it, so I focussed on staying in front of the rest until the finish. I
had a real fight with Penz in the last couple of laps that was really a lot of fun. Finally I made my move on the last lap which worked and I managed to hold it until the flag.“

With his 3rd and 2nd place finishes, Cudlin now sits 2nd in the title chase as the series moves to Oschersleben, a circuit Cudlin knows well from his 24 hour World Endurance Championship experience.
"I'm really happy with this weekend and also happy I could re-pay my SKM Bike Promotion Yamaha Team back with these results for having the faith to run with me this year. I'm really excited about the year ahead and can't wait to get to Oschersleben for the next round.“

The next round of the IDM series will be on the 17/18th of May.


PERSONAL RECOMMENDATIONS

...YOU REALLY WANT A KAWASAKI, DON'T YOU?

From the first time I met them many years ago, I've never considered the team at Alf's Motorcycles a typical dealer team but much more - a "biking family", if you wish. If I ever considered a Kawasaki, they would be the people I would go to to buy and service my pride and joy. As I've always maintained, there are some people out there who deserve personal recommendations which are worth SO much more than any paid-for advertising...and Alf's is a prime example.

I'd still pass the bike over to Hans Peter Bolliger for his Bolliger Team replica paint, though :)

HOTEL LA RENAISSANCE - MAGNY COURS
UPDATE - Chef Jean-Claude Dray has left and it's now another couple who are in charge of the kitchen. For me, not as good as 2006...but for co-commentator Roger Bennett, much better!...plus ça change!...still a very hearty recommendation.
HOTEL LA RENAISSANCE

***

The next time you're in the French town of Nevers for any of the race meetings at Magny Cours, both myself and co-commentator Roger Bennett cannot recommend highly enough the Pizzeria Italia Chez Michel at 19, Rue Vert-Pre 58000 NEVERS. Everytime we go to Magny Cours, you'll find us having dinner there. The food is outstanding, the atmosphere great and the waitresses are efficient - and highly decorative. No website but the telephone number is 03 86 59 23 03 (France, of course).

I've been a little remiss in putting in an extra-very-special mention for one of the best suspension guys in any racing paddock...ONE OF THE BLACK MAGICIANS OF RACING SUSPENSION
