The Dunlop Tire Testing / Session 1 for the upcoming MotoGP was held today and I wandered over to take a peek. I ran into Kory and Tom too which was fun. Here's a series I captured. The whole gallery can be seen HERE
On the main straight...
2-Up rides for the Media...
How far can you lean? This one still had the stickers on the tires...
I don't know how this one even stayed up...
Kory doing his magic...
The "S" turns...
Nicky Hayden? Or at least that's what his leathers say...
Red Bull Gives You Wings...
That's a whole 'lotta tire scrubbing...
Turn 11...
More leaning...
Another very small cut in the fencing and I was able to capture this one. First shot I've every captured the exhaust mirage and I like the fact I can see his eyes.
Various stages of setting up for the turn...
...and IN the turn
Just a cool sweeping turn shot...
Just before the first bridge...
Overall I had a good time. I had fun running into Tom, then Kory where we got to chat for a bit in between shots. The bikes were fun to watch, as was trying to find good places to take shots without a proper credential to have the best access.
