Promising Weekend for Idaq Motorsport –
Cadwell Park
www.facebook.com/IdaqMotorsport
The Idaq Motorsport team had a solid weekend at Cadwell Park this weekend at round nine of the Pirelli National Superstock 1000 race. Despite an off track excursion while running in 7th place youngster James East managed to salvage some points and finished in 11th place. Peter Ward had some brake issues during the race and finished in 18th and Paul Curran in 23rd.
James East was having a good weekend and topped the time sheets in his group during the wet session on Saturday. He took this confidence into second qualifying which was dry for all sessions and he was able to qualifying the Idaq Kawasaki in 8th place. He got a good start and gained a place by the end of the opening lap, sadly on lap three he ran wide on onto the grass down the back straight. He re-joined in 17th place and had to work hard to get back through the field to finish in a creditable 11th position when the race was cut short and red flagged on lap 10.
James East – “I felt pretty happy about going into the race and the bike was feeling really good. We’d managed to find a good set up that worked well for me at Cadwell, I got a good start and knew I could run with the front runners. I’d looked at passing into Charlies’ the lap before and I went to make the move and he shut the door on me so I was forced to run wide to avoid us both crashing out.
I re-joined but I was pretty angry with myself for making the mistake and in the following laps I was pushing too hard and made some more mistakes. I did make some good passes and got myself back into a point scoring position, I was making up more positions but the red flag came out early and stopped the race so had to settle for 11th but its more points and onwards to Donington.
I need to keep myself focused at the next few rounds and I really want to be finishing the season in the top five and ideally on the podium. My times suggest that’s possible I just have to ensure I can put all the pieces of the jigsaw together and make it all work right.”
Peter Ward was having a steady weekend and was 13th and 10th in his group in the two qualifying sessions but with the combined times this saw him put back to 22nd on the grid for the scheduled 15-lap race. Pete got a good start but suffered with brake problems from early on in the race and he managed to bring it home in 18th.
Peter Ward – “It was another really tough weekend I seem to be struggling a bit with everything at the minute, mainly my confidence. I need one good result to get my head back on a high again. I did have a brake problem during the race right from the off-set of the race and I just had to keep nursing the bike into the corners. I want to turn things around and be able to finish the season on a high note, it’s just working out how is best to go about it and get back near the front end.”
Paul Curran had a good weekend and bettered his times in every session and went faster at Cadwell than he has done in previous years. He qualified in 29th place on the grid and made it through to 23rd by the end of the race.
Paul Curran – “I got an average start in the race and thankfully we managed to fix the niggling clutch problem that I had been suffering with all weekend. Straight from the off though we had a major problem with my rear tyre, I had no grip at all. Every time I got on the throttle the back end was trying to kick out on me so I had to ride the bike differently to what I had all weekend. It nearly caught me out a couple of times and I just wanted to make sure I brought myself and the bike home in one piece.”
Team Manager Colin Wright – “Many thanks to the Idaq Motorsport for welcoming me into their team. We seemed to hit it off straight away! We have a bit of work to do before winning races but, I sense the team have all the right ingredients so it won’t be long before we enjoy a drop of champagne.”
Team Principal Mark Roebuck – “Cadwell Park was a great event. This weekend I welcomed Colin to the team as the new team manager and could immediately see the effect he was going to have on the setup. For me the star of the weekend was James, 1st in qualifying 1 and 3rd in qualifying 2 for his group was a fantastic achievement. It was a shame about his incident on the third lap but he managed to recover 6 places and score points, which was impressive to watch from the pit lane.”
