Day 2 Report - Kawasaki

KAWASAKI PSG-1 CORSE TEAM CHANGES STRATEGY

The hard day just faced by the team from San Marino, Kawasaki PSG-1 Corse, induces the technicians to change strategy. The adjustments made on the ZX-10R which brought several improvements on Nürburgring track, have been vain on this circuit which is more complicated than the team thought.

Positive performance the one achieved by Ayrton Badovini of the satellite team. He closed the 2nd session of qualifying practices in 15th position and tomorrow he will start from the 4th row.

REGIS LACONI #55: “ The lack of stability, especially on the front, doesn’t permit me to reach better results as I don’t feel confident. We are going to check the data we obtained today from telemetry and we’ll change strategy in order to improve the performances of the bike during the warm up session of tomorrow morning”.

MAKOTO TAMADA #100: “ Decisively the situation doesn’t help the team morale, but the technicians are still giving the maximum to restore the bike stability. Today we found a link that helps me to achieve higher speeds in the curves. Tomorrow we’ll try to take full advantage of the few time we still have in the warm up”.

FRANCESCO MASTRANDREA (Technical Director): “ After a first valuation of the acquired data we are sure to change strategy. During these last days we focused on suspensions to give more stability to the ZX-10R. Now we’ll proceed concentrating on telemetry and we are sure to obtain better performances and results”.
