One of the standout rides from last night’s Royal London 360 Superstock race, came from IRRC front runner, 300 Curves of Gustav Havel Superbike victor David Datzer.
Holding throughout a top 20 placing, from a standing start he lapped at a new personal best lap speed of 124.587 mph, (18 minutes 10.225 seconds).
Going onto finish a more than creditable 20th, MTP Racing by Syntainics Penz 13’s Datzer who came close to surpassing his team manager Rico Penzkofer’s record, as Germany’s fastest TT racer, stated the following via Facebook:
“The first 2 laps were very OK I could improve and improve. Unfortunately in the third I had to do the whole lap short shifting and half gas to try to keep the temperature down because the BMW was running hot again.
This is how my last round was just managed and brought over the line.”
A non finisher in Saturday’s RST Superbike encounter, with muscle inflammation issues curtailing his challenge, he went onto add about yesterday’s racing around the fabled, mythical Mountain Course.
“Merce as Bayer says to the whole MTP-Racing by Syntainics Penz13 team for this opportunity to compete against the best road racers in the world.
I can’t put it into words, a dream became reality.
Thanks to team leader Willi Von www.mtp-racing.de and to the whole Penz 13 crew.”
