Help..Ideas .. Thoughts ..MGP F2 2017

Post by dale »

With all things being equal its my daughters idea along with myself to enter a bike in the F2 class in the Classic TT2017 . Jaz is studying for her masters in Auto engineering and was born on the IOM where we lived for 12 years .
The uni she is at (unlike uk universities) will help support the venture which will be culmination of her 3rd year as it will involve all aspects of her course down to making, gear clusters and fairings/air box etc.
We are fortunate that we have both a Macau GP rider who has lapped the Island very quickly and also a former senior Manx winner who are prepared to ride so that aspects covered.
The idea as regs stand is to fit a Tcat motor in the 400 3en frame and work from their . The Tcat is a former race bike which was bought in by Yamaha as just that its frame number is 00037 and has Dymags .. Ohlins .. the engine produced a lot more than std and also came with several sets of quite complicated exhaust pipe runs ... along with large rads and plenty more ... So in short watch this space and thoughts welcome.

Cheers Dale /Jaz

That's really interesting - I'd use a 3TJ frame though.
A T'Cat engine 3TJ held a lap record on the TT for quite a while
Don't read everything you believe
