The former double world champion suffered a bruised arm and back during a fall from the new 2008 version of the Yamaha Italia R1, but believes he can smash his own official WSBK pole record of 1min 58.402secs during Friday's third and final day.
"Yeah, I had a bit of a get-off today and banged my arm and back a bit, so I guess I may be a bit sore tonight," said Corser. "It happened when I just lost the front and down I went. The corner was a fast one, but the crash was real slow-speed stuff and for a while I thought I'd better hold on to the bike with one hand. But when I hit the gravel trap and saw the size of the stones, I decided to let go of the bike and take my chances.
"The gravel trap looks like gravel from a distance, but when you get up close - too close in my case! - it's not gravel, they're rocks! The crash was on the 'sort of' new bike and I think I just got caught out. There's not a whole heap of difference between the 2007 and 2008 bikes, but the chassis feels a bit different - stiffer, I suppose - and it's something I have to understand and then get on with.
"We tried some new tyres today and they worked better than what we've run here before and certainly the grip was better - especially in the morning," he continued. "The tyres seem to work best in the morning and then towards the end of the day, but it's almost impossible to go fast at the end of the day because the sun is so low, that it's in your eyes and you can't see where you are going properly. It's like looking at a glazed surface and you have to trust your instincts and just pitch the bike in!
"We've still got stuff to try tomorrow, so we'll keep plugging away and get as much done as possible. We're all pretty happy with how these two days have gone but, if I'm feeling in a good mood and the conditions are right, I think I can do a 1min 57secs!" stated the Australian.
