Stats: Top 30 Quickest Horice Newcomers

Following on from a previous article detailing the fastest Horice circuit exponents in history, it’s now time to look at the quickest newcomers to the Czech Republic’s most famous active roads course.

Holding the distinction as quickest Czech TT debutant within the 21st century is none other than reigning IRRC Superbike Champion Davey Todd.

Nearest challenger to Todd’s record newcomers lap time is fellow IRRC Superbike series Champ Vincent Lonbois, who in 2016 lapped at 2 minutes 15.254 seconds.

Ex Moto GP points finisher Sebastien Le Grelle (2.17.153), Finland’s Erno Kostamo (2.17.903), triple Irish Road Race Superbike Champion Derek Sheils respectively place third, fourth, fifth on the all time leading Horice newcomers list.
