We spent a day testing the new Race Tech Suspension on Stef's bike at Lakeside yesterday with absolutely pleasing results

 

Corner speed is now awesome and as good as or better than many of the high profile 600 and 1000 race bikes and expensive street bikes that were on track on the day.

 

The combination of suspension and Pirelli Tyres enabled the Hyosung to go through the last sweeper on to the main straigh with amazing speed and grip. So much so that we now have a major issue with the standard exhaust scraping along its full length at full lean angle.

 

Now to get the second bike set up for Warwick in 2 weeks time...

 

 

 

 

We are off testing the new Race-Tech suspension at Lakeside tomorrow and next outing is at Warwick in 2 weeks time for Round 3 of the Southern Down Series.

 

We'll be joined by yet another Hyosung recently purchased by Craig Bashforth so if you are heading up there come and say hello - just look for the garage full of Ho's.

 

Here's our race report from Round 2:

 

RACE REPORT – SOUTHERN DOWNS ROUND 2. MAY 7-8 2011

Redman Racing Hyosungs – 4 race wins in Qld debut

Round 2 of the Southern Downs series at Morgan Park Raceway was the first race meeting where both team riders, Stephanie and Phillip Redman, were to compete together on their Hyosung GT650 race bikes.

Due to last minute work commitments, Stef was unable to attend on the Saturday, missing qualifying and the first 2 of 5 races. Non qualifying meant that she had to start rear of field in the 3 races contested on the Sunday.

SATURDAY:

Phil took Stefs bike out for the first qualifying session to scrub in the new Pirelli Super Corsa tyres so she was not straight in to racing on green tyres on Sunday. He then took his own GT650 out for the second Qualifier and gained 5^th position on the grid in a field of 23 bikes.

Race one saw the Hyosung launch off the line to take 2^nd position going into turn 1. A close battle ensued with race leader Ashley Skyring on a 400 for the next lap and a half. Phil then gained the lead and held on for a win with a margin of 0.133 seconds to 2^nd place Skyring with 3^rd placed Sean Purcell, also on a 400, 3.5 seconds further back. Phil clocked the fastest race lap with a 1:31.070.

Race 2 was a repeat of race 1, with Phil and Skyring swapping leads on a couple of occasions. Phil crossed the line with another win to 2^nd placed Skyring (0.153 seconds behind) and Purcell just 1.2 seconds back in 3^rd place.

SUNDAY:

The day saw Skyring suffering clutch issues while Purcell had slotted on a new set of rubber to try and improve his position in Sundays races. With Stef starting at the back of the field we knew both riders would be in for some tough racing throughout the day.

Race 3 and Phil had the lead from Purcell by turn 4 and stayed in P1 for the race to the finish. Stefs first ever outing on her new Hyosung saw her mid-field by turn 1 and in 7^th by the end of the first lap. It was a steep learning curve for Stef as she juggled between picking off the competition and learning the characteristics of the bike on its standard and very soft suspension.

The Chequered flag greeted Phil for his 3^rd win, .418 seconds ahead of Purcell and 12 seconds ahead of 3^rd placed Sam Phillips. Stef rode an amazing race from the rear to come home in 5^th and a very respectable lap time of 1:33.117.

Race 4 and Stef had an absolute blinder of a start going from last to 7^th by turn one. Phil settled into second place behind Purcell for most of the race while Stef fought her way forward to 4^th place in lap 3. Across the line it was Phil 1^st to Purcell, Phillips and Stef 4^th. Phils best lap time was 1:30.123 while Stef shaved second off her pace to do a 1:31.588.

The last race of the weekend had us a little concerned as we knew both bikes were suffering from ailing brakes toward the end of each race and both our riders wanted to obtain a good result to conclude the weekend.

Good brakes or bad, the pace was hot throughout with Stef doing her now routine carving through the field and Phil and swapping the lead with Purcell. As the race unfolded the brakes became an issue so Stef settled into 5^th behind Skyring and Phil remained in 2^nd behind Purcell.

Despite the problems this leg was the fastest race of the day with the chequered Flagg greeting Purcell in 1^st with a 1:29.284 Lap, followed 0.183 seconds behind with a 1:29.352 Lap. Phillips was 3^rd, 7.77 seconds behind the leader, Skyring 10.447 seconds back and Stef in fifth 0.538 seconds behind 4 place.

The weekend was a dream run for the Team with Phil taking 1^st outright with 122 points to Purcell with 109 and Phillips on 96. Three rear of field starts and missing 2 races certainly cost Stef over the weekend but she still earned a very respectable 9^th place overall with 50 points. Despite not contesting the 1^st Round, a consistant run by the Redman Racing Hyosung riders could still result in being at the “Pointy end” by the seasons end.

Both Hyosung GT650’s performed faultlessly and considering the only modification from a showroom bike was the fitting of a sports muffler, we are more than pleased with our decision to purchase and race them this year.

 

 

 

 

The team head out to Morgan Park at Warwick this coming weekend for round 2 of the Queensland Southern Downs Series.

 

Steph and Phil's Hyosung GT650R's will hit the track together for the first time this year and with the forecast fine weather we're expecting a great weekend of racing

 

 

The team have developed and now have available, Carbon Fibre Crash Covers for the GT650 motors.

 

Each cover comprises an inner and outer layer of Carbon Fibre sandwiching layers of Aramid fibre which is a highly abrasion resistant material similiar to Kevlar. Extra inner layers are used in the centre of the covers to provide greater depth where it's needed.  The covers will fit both the current Black and the older Silver motors.

We were browsing through some old photos and came across this one showing Steph and Phil with their first very own Road Race bikes (Moriwaki 80 and Honda RS125GP) from a few years ago. Not sure how long the new paintwork lasted though!

 

 

 

There has been a lot going on behind the scenes so little time to update the site for a while.

 

Race Report on Phils efforts at the Formula Extreme round 1 at Eastern Creek is now up

 

Suspension upgrades for the Hyosung GT650's are underway - See info under "Project Hyosung"

 

We did trek out to Morgan Park 2 weeks ago to compete in the 1st round of the Southern Downs series, only to suffer heavy rain throughout the Saturday and forecast again for Sunday. As we knew some more development was required on the bike it was decided to abandon the meeting rather than risk damage to bike or rider in the adverse conditions.

 

Next race meeting for both Hyosungs is Southern Downs Round 2 at Warwick - May 7-8

 

 

With less than a week until the first round of the Formula Xtreme Championship at Eastern Creek we're almost ready with the Hyosung race preparation (Updates and photos on the Project Hyosung pages)

 

Stef has taken delivery of her Hyosung GT650R also, so we can look forward to seeing both bikes on the track throughout the year.

 

Stef also has her Suzuki 600 race/track bike for sale - Absolute bargain! Check it out here:

Project Hyosung has had an update as we aproach our first race meeting, less than 2 weeks away.

 

 

We hope everyone has been keeping up with our "Project Hyosung" page as we sort the new GT650R for the 2011 season.

 

Our 1st track day on the bike has taken place and the Project page has been updated with a brief report.

 

The first Race meeting is round 1 of the Formula Xtreme series at Eastern Creek in 3 weeks. Can't wait!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

1 February 2011 

 

Project Hyosung has been moving forward to plan, but is taking a brief rest after Phil had a bad accident while BMX riding 3 days ago.

 

 

After headbutting a jump he was rushed to hospital with some bad cuts and grazes and suspected neck injury. There was some anxious waiting for 2 days for MRI results for all of us while Phil remained immobilised, waiting to hear the extend of damage.

 

His spine was, to all our relief, not badly injured and he has been discharged today with a week or so of total rest to help recover from his injuries

 

We will be back onto the Hyosung Project soon and Phil is still looking forward to a track day on 13th Feb if he is medically fit

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Team have just purchased our first Hyosung GT650R V-Twin for the 2011 Season

 

We have decided to Blog the development of the bike from dealer delivery to racing so that anyone interested in the class can see what we are doing, costs and successes and failures

Stef's baby - Her Honda RS125, has been sold after 4 years of very succesful racing.

 

The bike is going down to Victoria where young gun Brad Shaw will be using it to hone his skills further during his break from racing in the British Thundersport Series in England
