Sweet!!

 

SWEET! Gonna try to be there for this.

 

Now we're talkin'.

 

Isn’t Petrucci racing as a wildcard too? Thought I read that somewhere.

you def did. however, that has fallen apart

 

This should be awesome! GO GAGNE!

 

Not surprised at all. Stamboli has made reference to this a couple times early in the season. Glad Jake’s doing it with Attack and not riding someone else’s bike. He should show well.

 

What will they have to change on the bike specifically?

 

Tires

 

+ 1

 

Love it

 

Does Stanboli already use the control spec ECU that is approved for WSBK or will that be another thing to swap out for this wildcard?

 

I hope he punches Kenan Sofuoglu while they're on the front straight...

 

And….?

 

He mentioned on his YouTube livestreams that he’ll have to do some electronic stuff like the tpms system that wsbk requires. They also allow aftermarket gearboxes so probably one of those too. Then a tune for some actual real race fuel.

 

The WSBK R1 also has less RPM than what they run in MA.
