Rossi and Edwards quick to get going in Qatar

Qatar, Losail
6/2/2006

Testing for the first time at the Losail International Circuit in Qatar, Camel
Yamaha Team riders Valentino Rossi and Colin Edwards were pleased to get back in
the saddle on their new 2006-specification YZR-M1s today. Both riders made the
most of good temperatures to put in some fast laps at a track where both of them
enjoy riding. Although they are only joined on the track here by the MotoGP Teams
of Suzuki and Tech 3 Yamaha, as well as test riders from Ducati and Kawasaki,
Rossi and Edwards were encouraged to finish the day at the top of the time sheets
and are looking forward to more improvement over the next two days.

Both Rossi and Edwards were inside the lap record of 1'57.903; the World Champion
with a time of 1'57.36 after just 48 laps and his American team-mate just behind
after 77 laps with a best time of 1'57.52. Suzuki rider John Hopkins was third
fastest with a time of 1'57.66 and Tech 3 Yamaha pilot Carlos Checa, making a
return to Yamaha after a year's absence, was fourth with a lap of 1'57.94.

Valentino Rossi (1'57.36, 48 Laps)
"It's always nice to be fastest, although of course here we don't have Honda or
Ducati. Everything went very well today and I am pleased with this first day of
work. As we're quite close to home I have no problem with jet-lag, unlike at
Sepang, so I feel like I have plenty of energy for these three days! The
temperature is about 15 degrees cooler than at the race last year and so we are
able to have quite good grip and to use the tyres at 100%, enabling us to go quite
fast. Anyway with the new bike we have much more grip than with the old M1, but as
in Sepang we have a tiny bit of chatter, so we are doing a lot of work with
Michelin to fix that. Michelin have come here with many new tyres and so we are
working a lot with them to test as much as possible. The new bike is already at a
good level and now we are working hard on finding the right settings for it. I'm
looking forward to the next two days."

Colin Edwards (1'57.52, 77 Laps)
"Unlike Valentino I get pretty bad jet-lag here, coming from the US, so I felt
pretty tired today! I hope to get a good night's sleep tonight and to have a bit
more energy tomorrow. The track is getting cleaner by the minute as more rubber
gets laid down, so the grip is improving all the time; it's already much better
than in the race last year. Michelin have a lot of new tyres here so we're
spending a large part of our time on testing the new stuff with them. I really
like this track, I've always gone good from the first time I came here so it's an
enjoyable place for me to test, plus the weather is great. The new bike really is
better in every way and now I've just got to build my confidence with it. At the
moment I am feeling stronger with every lap. It was a good first day and I was
pleased to be able to get going so well so quickly."

Daniele Romagnoli - Colin Edwards' Crew Chief
"We very quickly found a good base-setting here today, much better than what we
had at the race here last year. We've improved the front-end grip a lot and
therefore Colin has much more confidence already in the front. It seems the new
bike works well at this track and the lap times were good today. We made a good
start."

Мотоцикл BMW - носитель технологий для высокодинамичных систем
07.02.2006

Мюнхен. В рамках работ над будущими регулировочными системами в отделе исследований и техники BMW Group появился опытный мотоцикл. Речь идет о тестовой модели с очень высокой мощностью двигателя и облегченной конструкцией. Мотоцикл был создан для изучения высокодинамичных процессов в системах управления приводом и динамикой движения в экстремальных условиях.
Выбор мотоцикла для фундаментальных технических исследований профессор Буркхард Гёшель, член Правления BMW, отвечающий за разработки, объясняет очень интересными задачами, которые вытекают из особой динамики мотоциклов и особенности их движения на поворотах под углом к дороге: "Динамика движения мощных мотоциклов в предельных режимах относится к наиболее сложным вещам в этой области. Для наших инженеров это амбициозная и одновременно с этим увлекательная задача". Не стоит забывать также и об облегченных конструкциях и аэродинамике мотоциклов, которые предъявляют особые требования и должны быть также исследованы в экстремальных условиях. Руководитель подразделения BMW Motorrad доктор Херберт Дисс видит в этой работе исследователей BMW важные импульсы для серийных разработок и подчеркивает: "Системы регулировки продольной динамики, как например система регулировки торможения двигателем, в ближайшие годы будут серийно использоваться на мощных мотоциклах. Наряду с ABS они будут составной частью интегрированной концепции по повышению активной безопасности".

Важной составной частью проекта является разработка системы управления высокомощным двигателем и вся регулировочная электроника привода, включая и техническую и программную составляющие. В ходе этих внутрифирменных разработок инженеры используют ноу-хау из мира "Формулы-1" и опыт технологического лидерства BMW в сфере электроники. Доктор Дисс отмечает: "Тесное взаимодействие всех научно-исследовательских работ в рамках концерна BMW Group является преимуществом в конкурентной борьбе и важным элементом стратегической направленности разработок мотоциклов".

Этот мотоцикл пока что ездил только по тестовым трассам, принадлежащим BMW. Однако в обозримом будущем он будет испытываться также и на других закрытых кольцевых трассах. Функциональные тесты в максимально разнообразных и реальных условиях позволяют сделать конкретные выводы о взаимодействии двигателя, ходовой части и электронных компонентов. Полученные таким образом сравнительные данные служат для точной оценки способностей носителя высоких технологий и уровня разработки компонентов.

 

Ну раз можно, то и в Vertebra Air тоже можно......

 

Giovanni FCB предложила новую идею рекламу для BMW К 1200 S

Работу бразильского рекламного агентства Giovanni FCB для BMW нельзя назвать продающей, более того, многим не вполне понятна ее идея. Под слоганом «К 1200 S. Самый мощный мотоцикл BMW» был выпущен принт с изображениями известных мировых достопримечательностей. Три из них сфотографированы наклонно (имитация того, как их увидит мотоциклист за рулем), и лишь падающая Пизанская башня стоит прямо.
Это обусловлено тем, что градус ее наклона примерно тот же, что получается когда мотоцикл вписывается в поворот.
BMW предлагает объехать на рекламируемой модели мотоцикла весь мир и своими глазами посмотреть достопримечательности. Компания продает не только свой продукт, но и эмоции, которые можно получить, приобретя мотоцикл.
Лаконичное исполнение не делает эту работу запоминающейся, но сама креативная идея привлекает внимание и заставляет задуматься над смыслом рекламного послания, что увеличивает продолжительность контакта с аудиторией и повышает вероятность положительного восприятия.

Лучше в баре переждать.

 

Fast progress continues for Yamaha in Doha

Qatar, Losail
7/2/2006

Valentino Rossi and Colin Edwards continued the good work they began yesterday
with a second day at the top of the time sheets at the desert circuit of Losail,
Qatar today. Spending the majority of the day testing tyres for Michelin, Rossi
and Edwards completed 60 and 76 laps respectively on their 2006-spec YZR-M1s.

Rossi was once again fastest, setting a best lap of 1'56.53 with Edwards close
behind him with a time of 1'56.81. Yamaha Tech 3 rider Carlos Checa was third
fastest, according to the unofficial lap times, setting a time of 1'56.95. The
Camel Yamaha Team will continue for one final day of testing tomorrow whilst
Yamaha Tech 3, Suzuki and the Kawasaki and Ducati test teams have finished their
Qatar testing today.

Valentino Rossi (1'56.53, 60 Laps)
"We managed many laps today, everything went very well and I am quite pleased. In
the morning we worked mostly on settings and we have now nearly fixed the chatter
we were experiencing. We made some small modifications and the bike responded
quickly and it is giving me a very good feeling now. After that we worked for the
rest of the day with Michelin and tested most of the tyres that they brought with
them; the new things they have brought here seem to be extremely good. Our main
target with them is to keep the performance level of the tyre up after 15 or 20
laps, and it seems we're improving in this area and our times were consistent
throughout the day. With these new tyres and the new M1 combined we have much
better stability and grip. For sure we don't have most of the other teams testing
here so it's hard to judge exactly where we are, but I think anyway we can tell
that we are doing okay."

Colin Edwards (1'56.81, 76 Laps)
"Today has been great, I'm really happy. We got going on the new Michelin stuff
after lunch and they've made some great improvements. We had some new things to
try for Yamaha, but we mostly concentrated on tyres. I'm really starting to feel
confident with the bike and to believe in myself again. This is my first time in
MotoGP to be with the same team for two years running and it's great not to have
to worry about adjusting to a new bike and team at the start of the season. It
feels really good to be back with the best team and on the best bike! I can
concentrate entirely on my race preparation without any distractions or worries
and the new style I adapted to last season now feels totally natural. I feel like
I have all the tools in place for a really good season. Tomorrow we're planning to
do a long run and we have a few more tyres to test; I am sure we'll make some more
progress."

Jeremy Burgess - Valentino Rossi's Crew Chief
"Everything is going well so far. The test has been successful and the weather
has been good. We've been able to test everything that we wanted up to now and
we've confirmed everything that we found out in Malaysia. We're proceeding well
towards the first race!"


Tech 3 Yamaha Team
The three-day test at the Doha venue saw the Tech 3 team complete for the first
time. It was the first possibility for newly-signed Carlos Checa to ride the 2006
YZR-M1. Even with the new Dunlop tyres Checa was straight on the pace, while his
teammate James Ellison also made great progress.

Carlos Checa (1'56.95)
"I am satisfied with this first test although of course we have many improvements
to make. It's important to be realistic, even though the times have been good, and
to keep focused and working hard. Obviously one of the main areas we need to work
on is the tyres. They work well in these conditions and I am happy with the front,
but we need to work a lot on the rear. We need to do as much testing as we can
during the next days in Sepang to find the right mix and to find a better
situation for the rear.
"I really want to say thank you to Yamaha, Dunlop and all the other people who
helped to make this possible given me the chance to be back on the grid. In
January my situation was not so good and I have had to fight hard to come back,
but now I have this chance and I am happy for it. I think this new M1 is
definitely the best Yamaha I have ever ridden so this is very exciting.
"Now we need to go to Sepang and continue to work in the same way. Everyone will
make comparisons and look at the times but at this time that should not be our
focus. We have started work and we have a lot more to do. We must not hurry to be
in front at the moment, but focus on development. For myself I have finished to
think about my previous situation and now I just want to focus on my sporting
activities for this season."

James Ellison (1'58.98)
"I feel like I am improving slowly. I've had to change my style a bit but I am
getting there. It's been great to have Carlos here, I have really learnt some
things from following him, especially about lines and the use of the rear brake. I
hit a bit of a wall on Monday and Tuesday morning but once we got over that things
have really got better. Now I am going about two seconds faster and, as I said,
following Carlos and then Valentino a bit also today has really helped me to
understand some of the changes I need to make. I'm now trying not to ride so fast
round the corner but just to use the bike's own power to take me round. The tyres
are much better here and we've improved in that area since the last test in
Sepang. There were a couple of different tyres that I liked here last year and
Dunlop have made a combination of those two and that's the main one we've been
using here. I wasn't looking forward to going back to Sepang but after today I am
feeling much better about it. The stability is much better and we're using a
bigger wheel on the front which is working well. It will be interesting to go back
to Sepang now and see if we can improve there also."

Herve Poncharal - Tech 3 Yamaha Team Director
"A very good test altogether. I think it's been a really good idea to come here
to test; the facilities and track are great, it's close to the conditions we can
expect in the race and everyone is very helpful here! Our biggest news of course
is that we now have two riders and it's been great to come here with a full team
and with Carlos. It's been a good three days. The performance of Carlos has been
better than anyone expected for his first outing on the Dunlops, so this is
encouraging. There were three Yamaha's at the front today and this makes me very
happy. Carlos is already riding well and fast and James has improved considerably
over the three days. We're looking forward to Sepang although we know it won't be
so easy for us there. Anyway, we're looking to the future. Once again I want to
thank Yamaha, Dunlop and everyone involved for making this a possibility."

Мля сочувствую. По моцу нормальный выбор. Золотая середина особенно если семья. сбр900 тыщи на 3 подороже будет. Сам на таком два сезона (продал той осенью). Одни положительные эмоции, правда щас апгрейд на 900 сделал. Хочу что бы как там эксперт написал "отрывались руки и поднималось колесо на любой скорости" 600 на это всеж не способна, хотя вот прилетят грачи проверим, мож это все враки про сбр900.
