Round Three Silverstone Showers
Round three of ACU Dunlop Tyres MotoStar's Replicast UK / Biksport News British 250 Championship
was regrettably
abandoned due to adverse weather conditions.
One eye witness described the downpour, at Silverstone, as "one months
worth of rain in a day" and so resulting in far too much standing water to
safely continue proceedings.
The meeting, however, did not go without it's merits. ABS Racing
were able to gain valuable wet weather experience and data for the Yamaha
TZ250. These should help Alex Symon in the long term progression in the
British 250 Championship as well as if a wet race arises later in the
season. |
As the rain steadily came down, on the slippery Silverstone surface, Alex
completed two sessions before the final decision was taken to call an end
to the days racing.
In the first practice session on track Alex managed a fastest lap of
1:19.01 and then, in even wetter conditions, 1:26.66 during qualifying to
line up in twentieth place on the grid (click
here for full results). Unfortunately, we can only guess as to
how the day would have progressed as anything is possible when the red
lights go out!
ABS Racing now has a long break before round four at Oulton Park in nearly
two months time. Hopefully by then this website will have been
updated further with pictures, biography, diary entries and even more
statistics. Watch this space for any news in the meantime...
