Your english was perfectly fine mate, in some cases better than mine
Yes, the classes seem very similar BUT we run it slightly different. We dont do an overall British champion, dont know why, we should do! we have the seperate championships and thats it. I prefer the way you run it by the sounds of things!!
because in england as you all know we have beautiful weather (not) we have indoor circuits as well as out door. Indoor is very dangerous! and often slippery. they're the tracks we would tend to use 6- 70's.
oh by the way
Rules-
production class:
SHA 14/14 carb ONLY
must not exceed 40cc
production exhausts (not homemade)
no machining, dremmeling etc.
no dual reeds
must be
3 PORT BARRELL
The outdoor tracks are wierd, and with the different engines we have out it gets confusing,
i have 2 bikes, my older one, polini 911r, has a series 2 engine and my zpf has ZPF crank, cases etc. but BZM barrell, piston, head. because the zpf ones arent legal (stupid!).. so on my polini say if i run 7/70 on the zpf i would run 7/63!!! big difference!
the outdoor tracks tend to varie in size,the odd track will be 6/70's, but they are not on the calender. The tracks we run are usually on a ZPF 7- low 60's
or sometimes 8-low 70's.
Some times though, the track may be varied. Like have a complex section with tight turns then a long fast section with sweeping turns, so it is quite a challenge to get gearing right in some cases.
Italian bikes.
Both you can not fault one bit! the bikes are what we race over here
ZPF, GRC (lots of GRCs) GEM (not many) Polini (alot of GP3s) STAMAS (rare(are they italian?) and Pasini etc. obviously the bikes are superb!
and riders
they scare me! Your riders do things ive never seen before! i dont understand the flicked out foot? please may you explain? because it looks impressive. the lean angles you get are incredible!!! maybe its due to a different climate as well though!
anymore questions and ill be more than happy to answer!!!
grazie
ciao
James
p.s. who was the italian champion this year?
