FPR fired up after positive Spanish test.

Foggy Petronas Racing's completed its final day of testing at Valencia with Troy Corser and Briton Jamie Morley reporting successful runs on the Petronas FP1.

With James Haydon unfortunately declared unable to ride after suffering with seized neck muscles on Thursday morning, Morley stepped in for a second day and ran a number of laps to test modifications to the cooling and engine breather systems and cylinder head, all of which proved successful.

Corser was therefore able to further concentrate on more specific bike set-up and development work, completing the scheduled testing programme.

"It's been a very productive couple of days as we were able to work thoroughly through the test programme and also gain good results," the Australian explained, "I improved my lap time into the 1min 36s today, which is good, but I wasn't aiming for fast lap times at this test - just consistency and time to really feel and evaluate the changes and modifications made to the bike.

"I've found set-up and clutch settings that I'm happy with, and we've also gained a lot of mapping data which we can now study and apply for the last three races of this season."

A bush fire just on the circuit outskirts added an interesting element to the day, with enormous amounts of ash debris being deposited onto the track.

"There were 'planes dropping water on the fire for most of the day and, when the riders were out at the back of the circuit, there was so much ash that it looked like water spray coming up from the bike as the wind was blowing the ash totally in the direction of the circuit," commented team manager Nigel Bosworth.

"We've achieved a great deal in these few days and are encouraged by what's been learnt. Hopefully, we can evaluate all the knowledge and data we've gained and turn it around in time for the Assen race next week. If not then, we should be okay for Imola."
