This man, Pierfrancesco Chili, who is an experienced racing driver and is willing to share his knowledge and experiences, joined the MÃœNCH Racing Team during its test runs in Spain. “To further improve the TTE-1.2 the first test runs were completed at the Circuit Monteblanco in Sevilla” states World Champion and MÃœNCH racing driver Matthias Himmelmann. “Amongst other amendments we applied new underbody components, a more powerful engine and improved tires. The underbody was developed by Öhlins in Meuspath close to the Nürburgring and the new TTX damper is a custom product. Additionally the steering lever has been modified.” The former grandmaster of Superbike Pierfrancesco Chili from Spain who already knows Sevilla’s new racing track inside out was available as an instructor and test operator. “With his long-time experience in the 500 and Superbike World Championship series ‘Frankie’ Chilli passed on valuable advice to the team. Hence, we were able to realize his proposals and achieve faster racing times while enjoying summerlike temperatures of 29°C.” said Matthias Himmelmann about the famous supporter. After four days in Monteblance the test runs moved to the even faster track in Barcelona. “I had the opportunity to lap on the ‘Petrol Bike’, our petrol driven Ducati 848 test machine and take Chili’s advice. He really helped us and I would like to thank him for his great support” commented Matthias Himmelmann.
