Almeria 26th January

no , but I know a man who does. Des at Autovaux in East Kilbride (Scottish Champion) who has been to Almeria

 

Don't know if it helps you or not but I run the extra couple rear teeth to the stock Panigale gearing at Almeria (the R has this gearing out of the box). I'm running quickest 1'49'' which is an ok-ish fast group speed but any slower than ~1'53'' and I started to run out of gears around the mid sections.

 

Focused Events have just announced that Kevin has been appointed as the new Director at Almeria. Andy

 

I didn't realise which Kevin it was until you mentioned it now. I guess this means no one other than Focused Events will be doing Almeria now?

 

Hopefully not being naive, I can't see that happening. FE don't have the logistics to take the business without a significant investment and I don't think there is the profit in it to make it viable. I could see costs for the competition increasing though. Andy

 

I ran 45/16 there last month on my 2014 ZX10R and was hitting the limiter in 6th around 250m before my braking marker (just past slip road on left)
I'd go 1 down on the rear if I was setting for the track again

 

That's a cracking Almeria time, good work

 

Animal, that's fast. We've not been for nearly a year, need to get back there now you've said that

 

We'll be there in May with BBS Eurotracks and I've decided to take the 1098R . Andy

 

Might have to take a look at that. I'm still not decided on what the plan is with racing and stuff this year. Must admit I like lazing around in the sun
