Hello,
Kreacher, Myriam and I registered a while back to Cornu Master School (
Cornu Master School ) training at Anneau du Rhin on 30th and 31st August.
Jacques Cornu is an Swiss ex- World Champion (11 times world champion in endurance racing). His team and he are such a great experience that every training I've done so far was really worth it.
This training is a security based one, combining several track based exercises (trajectories, braking, turning, etc.) as well as free 10 minutes free sessions (in different groups). The target is to help improve everyday driving (especially critical situations) by learning more about one's bikes abilities and one own's limits in the controlled environment of a circuit (different to a SBK school or track days).
Myriam (on the F800R I'm following on the video) took up riding in may 2009 and has just got 10'000 km under the belt. Te result is impressive (scraped her boot).
Kreacher was scraping every possible appendix sticking out of his K1200S: time for a track bike ?

On my side, I did get my left knee down (so very slightly but down anyway) as well as scraping my boots and my carbon belly pan (Kreacher says it looks cool: I think it might as long as I keep the tracked tires on). The K13R is fast indeed.
Myriam managed a very respectable 180 km/h before the right hander "Courbe adrénaline 7" at the end of the straight and a very nice 67 km/h at the apex of "Virage du Bois 3"
Kreacher did 77km/h at the apex of "Virage du Bois 3"
I did 250 km/h before downshifting at the right hander "Courbe adrénaline 7" and a 75km/h at the apex of "Virage du Bois 3"
Enjoy the vid.
Cheers
