Pirelli report - 40º and rising!

The Pirelli team were hard at work at the weekend at the Brands Hatch triple header with track temperatures hitting the sort of numbers reserved for exotic World Superbike rounds!
Leon Camier was in scorching form with a triple top, a new Superbike 14-in-a-season record and gave team boss Colin Wright a milestone 100th victory.

Watching him intently over the weekend was Pirelli agent and 1990 British Superbike Champion Terry Rymer. Camier and Rymer share a number of striking similarities; both are from Kent, dominated in British Superbikes in their 22nd year, both went exceptionally at their Brands Hatch local circuit and most strikingly for motorcycle racers, both measure up at a towering six foot two!

In fact 'Too Tall Tel' only realised the amount of similarities on the day itself, ""Two tall, good looking lads from Kent both having a great year in British Superbikes- its like history repeating itself!"

The Pirelli technicians sweated it out supplying hoops all weekend and were pleased with the performance... the pace of the race plus the temperature really tested the grip but the final Superbike race of the day saw not one accident, a testament to the stability of the Pirelli Super Corsa BSB tyres.
