From a press release issued by Foggy Petronas Racing:

Foggy PETRONAS Racing ventured to Misano in Italy this week to continue its testing programme.

Both Troy Corser and James Haydon were able to work steadily with both of their Foggy FP1 bikes through the varied testing schedule. This included assessment of modifications for the temperature management systems, further chassis and engine development and a series of tests with aerodynamic parts, although progress was slow at times due to changeable weather conditions and intermittent showers over the three day test.

Carl Fogarty commented, “The overall test has been very positive with Troy and James able to improve their lap times and bike set-up each day. The track here at Misano doesn’t dry out quickly though which lost us valuable running time, but we have still made steady and worthwhile progress. The team is doing a great job and it’s been really good to be here with everybody for the last three days.”

“We probably didn’t get to work though as much of the testing programme as we’d hoped, but I’m really pleased with the work we have done and the results achieved,” commented Troy Corser. “Ideally you need dry conditions to fully test the bike at this stage of development and this track isn’t good at shedding the rain we had. You can really only get a good and safe wet set-up once you have found the right dry set-ups, and we’re still working on that, but the steps we’ve made over the last three days have been solid.”

James Haydon said, “I’ve found this test really encouraging, particularly by having reduced my lap times day after day. Even on the first day of the test we are achieving lap times that were closer to the lap record at a circuit, than we have achieved on the first day at any previous test. It’s frustrating that I couldn’t run more laps due to the rain as this circuit is one that it is very important to get a feel for, as the riding line is not always where you think it will or should be. The new engines we had felt good – strong and consistent – and I’m confident we’re making clear progress.”
