MTP Racing’s Johannes Schwimmbeck, 2024 pre-season testing programme kicked up a few levels, across a recent test session at Calafat in Spain.
Despite the weather not fully obliging, a touch windy to say the least, ‘Hansi’ lapped 1.2 seconds faster compared to the best lap time, he achieved last year when speeding around Calafat.
Working on machine settings, making sure his riding style was suited with his BMW steed, the next gen German roads scene pilot is looking like a dark horse for first-rate IRRC SBK results over the summer.
As previously stated, fifth within last year’s IRRC Superbike Championship, it’s below two months till the modern-day Formula TT equivalent returns.
If you aren’t already aware, it’s once again the Hengelo, Netherlands located Varsselring that hosts the season curtain raiser (11th-12th May).
