Blimey - there's loads of new one make series; - GSXR600 - Trumpet 675 - KTM - Pyong Yang Wang (woteva!!) - R6 Cup - and now this!!! Gonna get crowded out there... |
Will be interesting to compare rule books to see who allows what in the way of, tyres, tuning etc |
Quoted from the MF site - may be out of date now though as changes seem to be the rule as each series tries to outdo each other; ------------------------------------------------------------------------- From the initial press releases on the two classes... ACU/Suzuki GSX-R Trophy ------------------------------- Cost: £12,040.25 Rounds: 8 (one day events) Bike: Suzuki GSXR 600 Tyres: Dunlop (1 front and 1 rear?) Kit: Dainese leathers, boots, gloves & back protector Exhaust: Micron slip on can Suspension: Revalved standard items Brake Pads: Performance Friction Other: Fairing & rear sets Upgrades: None Triumph 675 Triple Challenge ---------------------------------- Cost: £11,999.00 Rounds: 9 (two day events) Bike: Triumph 675 Tyres: Michelin (2 front & 2 rears) Kit: n/a Exhaust: Unknown brand slip on can Suspension: Standard items Brake Pads: Unknown Other: Fairing & rear sets Upgrades: Improved suspension & additional tyres at extra cost Initial observations, to me at least, would suggest that the GSXR is a more competitive class as everyone is on the same bike and cannot buy better suspension or more tyres over and above everyone else. It also includes a lot of riding kit in the deal. The trade off is that the Triumph meetings will be run with a known organisation and will include a lot more track time (2 x qualifying and 3 x races vs 2 x races) and double the number of tyres. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tim |
NG Racing Junior Cup ------------------------------- Cost: £9750 + VAT Rounds: 12 Bike: Preped Yamaha R6 Tyres: currently working on a deal, I suspect they will be the same as the Virgin cup bikes run Mid term top 3 will race in the R6 cup at the Moto GP round |
KTM are still running the 660 Bracken Cup series with New Era aren't they? I understand the 990 is running with BSB, with one round at the Donny GP. Could be wrong tho! |
I think one-make/model series are bad news for the technical diversity of racing. It gets dull. Skids...any news of NG's S-o-T & minitwin classes? Are they dropping them to make way for the new series cos that has a big impact on my racing plans for 2007. |
The guy pictured on there no 76 is Ross Walter the local kid (well 18 I think) I sponsored for a few years. He won 125GP championship, did mediocre in R6 cup and was great this season on the 675 with some wins. |

No news yet although MT and SoT are on the 2007 membership forms possibly dropping one of the F600 races as they often had two quallifiers and tha A and B finals, they also ran the Open class in this way http://www.ngroadracing.org/Pdf/membership_2007.pdf |
