erniewoodhouse 3 Posted July 11, 2015 I assumed that the riders who are trialling the GRT (Harris, PK and Robert Lambert)are being paid a fee, and given free use of the engines to see how they perform at different tracks. This would not force them to use them all the time, however, as Bomber was seemingly much better out of the gate using it, I find it strange that he would be reluctant to use it at Cardiff. The 1 race that Robert appeared in showed the engine was at least as fast as the GM 'rocketships'. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PHILIPRISING 7,298 Posted July 11, 2015 Gerhard's plan is to produce a competitive engine that needs a lot less servicing. Once they're on sale that doesn't stop tuners convincing their riders that they still need to throw lots of cash at them. CORRECT Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PHILIPRISING 7,298 Posted July 11, 2015 TO the best of my knowledge the only league match that Harris used the GTR was the aborted meeting against Poole. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

At a guess when Phil say's he has been close to this project I doubt if he has had much contact with Gerhard himself.More that he has heard things on the grapevine 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kelvin is a close friend and speak to him almost every day. I was actually lined up to take an engine from Vojens to Wolverhampton on my BA flight because I had additional luggage allowance but, at the last minute, Marcel decided to drive there himself.
