GMT is back on track

Two months before the next 24 Hours of Le Mans, on April 16 and 17, Christophe Guyot’s team has resumed training at the Albacete circuit, in Spain..

Before officially restarting his 2005 endurance season, which he will devote this year to the Master alone and no longer to the World Championship (read), Christophe Guyot’s GMT 94 went to do his first tests on the Albacete circuit, in Spain, at the invitation of the Genous team.

"The first two days David Checa did a lot of testing for Pirelli", explains Christophe."Still in great shape, he beat the lap times last year by more than a second, improving the fastest time in the race by more than a second. A progression to be credited with a Yamaha R1 now at its best and new high-performance tires".

For his part, the team manager took advantage of these tests to test many parts. "It is certainly not the most pleasant job, because I had to stop constantly to check, control or change parts, but I love this bike so much … And then I still had the opportunity to do a few quick laps, it feels good after all these days at the office to prepare for our season !".

The next GMT test session will take place on March 7 and 8 at Magny Cours and will mainly be devoted to "rain" tests with Pirelli. We remember the deluge that hit the last Bol d’Or (read and our), which forced the world champion team to give up following a fall while they were trying everything for everything. to catch up.

It should also be noted that Pierrot Lerat Vanstaen (read) is giving up endurance racing to devote himself this year to the Superstock World Cup. "Indeed, following our 2004 season, I do not want to disperse and prefer to be satisfied with a single discipline", explains Pierrot."This will allow me to find my feelings on the bike as quickly as possible and to carry out several training sessions between races. In 2004, on a machine battered by its competitor, the R1, we performed well by playing in the top 10. With the arrival of the new GSXR 1000 and good tuning, our goal is to play in the top 10. top 5 !"
