Fantastic media exposure and More Points!

A superb Silverstone with an article in ‘Racer Magazine’ and Marshall battling at the front

Silverstone was a great weekend for the team, the publication of the latest issue of Motorcycle Racer magazine (www.motorcycleracer.com) revealed

at 6 page article about the GR Aprilia RSV4 and a page in new products. Our guests had a great day and Marshall bagged more points

The high speed straights were always going to be a small problem to the nimble Aprilia RSV4. The supa long hanger straight cost us in every session but where we lost the chassis helped pull things back. We did the best we could in qualifying, Marshall putting us 15^th on the grid for the race start

Fantastic weather along with Silverstone’s family attractions and atmosphere welcomed our guests on race day, some old hands and some completely new to the sport as we look to the future. The televised Metzeler National Superstock 1000 race fell very nicely into the program of events starting just after lunch. Marshall Neill again astounded everyone with his start from 15^th on the grid, again finding clear track at every opportunity and making it when none was to be found. 5^th at the end of lap one was just fantastic ! Marshall continued to ride the wheels off the little Aprilia but the extreme high speed hanger straight was to be our achilles heel, every lap the RSV4 sercombed to higher speeds slipping back down the order over the next 10 laps finishing 12^th to take more valuable championship points. Congratulation also go to Jon Railton and the In-Moto Aprilia scoring their first points of the season.

With only 2 races left this season we will make a few changes of engine spec for this weekend’s Mondello Masters superbike races as we continue to look forward.

Marshall Neill – “The start and first lap were great fun I could put the wee RSV4 where I liked but on the long straight I could not hold their slip stream which really hurt us. I really love riding the Aprilia but need just need more speed as we have all year – I am looking forward to Mondello this weekend we will run in the superbike class on Dunlop slicks which should be good fun”

Tony Robinson – “It was a shame about the straights at Silverstone but the GR Team, Marshall and everyone did a fantastic job at the weekend. It was good to see that even our new none motorcycling guests has a great day at the ‘MCE British Superbike’ series. This weekend at Mondello is really just for fun but it would be nice to get a result too!”
