Ducati 1199 fitted with our electronics kit takes Daytona lap record

Following a successful test of the new Ducati 1199 race bike at Thunderhill - CA a few weeks ago the bike was taken to Barber for a few more laps and race wins, then on to Daytona where I joined them for a final bit of system refinement. Shane Turpin has really taken to this new bike and the advances in electronic controls which give him far more possibilities during 'turn in' and rapid corner exit.

From the outset the times came crashing down as he improved on last years 1198 lap time, but he waited until the last day and the CCS events to really show what he could do, taking 3 more wins and stripping nearly half a second off the lap record which has stood for 9 years.

Maybe the most surprising aspect is that the bike is a relatively standard 1199s fitted with Akra exhaust, Ohlins replacement internals and a very mild engine tune by Boulder Motor Sport.  With the major improvements coming from a revised chassis setup and the Bike Sport Developments electronics package.

Lots more to come from this bike with a heap of further developments planned for the winter, stay tuned...
