Another new track faced the Team this weekend and with tension building in the F600 championship between Marcus Wade and Mark Cronshore things could not be much closer. The weekend began with a light dusting of rain. Wade entered the track for the first ever time for the first qualifying session, SOT (Sound of Thunder). The team placed the 675 in a good 6th position with only local riders and an ex Castle Combe instructor ahead. By the second trip to the track Wade had learnt a little about the motocross nature of the circuit, in that it was very bumpy! With an intermediate tyre choice he poled the 675 on the final lap despite the drying conditions and that all his rivals had swapped to their second ‘dry’ bikes halfway through the session!
The 9th and 10th of August saw host to one round of New Eras Club and one round of Superclub at Donington Park. Saturday was a Club day, the weather was far from ideal with driving rain and strong winds. Marcus Wade took to the track for the only dry session of the day, SOT qualifying. After a few laps to familiarise himself with Donington again put the 675 in a solid 2nd position. Next came F600 qualifying the track was damp and very slippery Wade put the 675 in 4th.
