Peter's reaction from riding his Yamaha R1 at the Tianma Circuit:
Actually, feedback on racing the “monster” 1000cc there: doing the start-finish on constant wheel spin…towards the concrete wall on the right…has some special feeling, like Macao, I guess J
And after the sharp left hairpin going wheelie all way down was good fun either (I’m really not a wheelie expert, but I got some experience last Sunday!!). Then the second left (after start/finish) is not sooo tight (learned from the 150cc, carry lots of speed thru) which resulted later in a fat slide with the R1 J
That’s the way I like riding slowly towards the limits! Both worlds, 150 and 1000cc are good fun there.
Just one thing missing: the wind over 200 km/h…
And my specialty: hi-speed slides over 250 J (which I will practice certainly that week in June on Nuerburgring).
