The Quatto Plant Honda team arrived at Brands Hatch on Thursday with high hopes, the freshly rebuilt engine didn’t provide the much needed power that Steve needs to compete at this level. A few changes to the mappings improved things, but not to the point where Steve could put in the lap times we know he capable of.
Race 1 : Steve high-sided the Quattro Superbike exiting Graham Hill bend on Lap 1 as a result of a hose bursting and spilling the cooling system contents on the rear tyre just two corners earlier.
Race 2 : Steve was pushing hard when the front wheel went away from him on the positive cambered Stirling left handed, just 1 lap after Tommy Bridewell went down in the exact same place. Oil flags were shown after Steve went down.
Race 3 : Unfortunately, the bikes was too badly damaged in Race 2 to repair in the limited time available.
