IDM Lausitzring from 20.to 22. April 2012 was the happy place for Carbonin: for the first time all three podium teams in second Supersport race are Carbonin partners: Kawasaki Schnock Team Shell Ad with winner Daniel Sutter, Lauslehto Tatu from Järvenpää, Finland as second ….

Pole position rider Sam Lowes (Bogdanka PTR Honda – Carbonin partner) tried everything he knew on the final few laps of the FIM Supersport World Championship race at Imola to get past eventual winner Fabien Foret (Kawasaki), but he could not get into a position to make his final move. In finishing second by only 0.574s Lowes promoted himself to second in the championship, on a day when lots of top names and new talents experienced some vastly differing results.

Carbonin partners PTR HONDA and BOGDANKA PRT HONDA succesfully started World Supersport Championship at Phillip Island in Australia. Jules Cluzel took a fantastic fourth …

In 2012, Carbonin became a partner of Team Pro Ride Real Game in World Superbike Championship. Raffaele de Rosa, a rookie rider in WSBK on Honda CBR1000RR and the team arrived in Australia – Philip Island as the only team that hadn’t had tested before. After a week of testing and racing they are satisfied with results.

But talking about the facts, unfortunately they did not participate to Race 1 because of a handle bar bracket that broke on the grid the moment one of technicians was taking out the front stand of the bike seconds before the warm up lap.

Then in Race 2 Raffaele de Rosa has started well. He overtook some riders and around the middle of the race he has even arrived in the points zone, but it is true that riding in Superbike is not very much simple, it is something that one doesn’t learn in 2 days. The point is that only in the last 5-6 laps that De Rosa had problems riding the bike and unfortunately lost some seconds and he finished the race on the 17th position.

For team this is a victory, to finish the race with both rider and bike that works well and produced many data to study at home to find the best electronics setting for a riding stile of a rider that had never had contact to electronics before.
In Imola the team will come stronger and ready to take the best of CBR 1000 RR.

Raffaele de Rosa, rider:

“During the first part of the race I had fun, also passed some riders. I started behind, but I felt I was strong right in the first laps. Then I overtook some riders and got more motivated with the race and the bike. From the second half of the race on I had some problems in managing the quick shifter, but until that point I was having fun. Being my first race in the Superbikes I can say it was a good one, even if honestly we are missing more track tests. Besides, I didn’t make Race 1 and I couldn’t get any experience for Race 2. So taking these things into account that was the result we were expecting. Let’s see Imola.”

Eng. Marco Nicotari, Team Manager and Technical Director:

“In Race 1 we had a very sui generis problem something that had never happened before: the handle bar bracket broken at the starting grid and we couldn’t start. For Race 2 we prepared the bike with the same setting we had planned for Race 1 and at the end everything was alright. We knew that the consumption of the tires was excessive here, but at the end of the race our tires were in the same conditions of the other bikes, we checked. The lap times were more or less the same of what we have done during the tests and the racing weekend. So now we have a 2 seconds gap and we evaluate that we can decrease this gap at the most to 0.8 seconds, that it is our gap from the first riders. We need to work, in order to help Raffaele to learn all the characteristics of this class that is completely different from Moto2, I mean the characteristic of the Pirelli tires, the characteristic of a bike much powerful and with electronics. And this is a lot to learn in only one race weekend. In my opinion it was a good race. While he was among other riders and overtaking them he was having fun. Now it’s time to work to Imola.”

Wellcome to Carbonin stand on EICMA 2011

James Ellison (Bogdanka PTR Honda – partner of Carbonin in WSBK Supersport) saw a possible second turn into a still-satisfying third place at the Portimao circuit as he was unable to chase down race winner Chaz Davies in the final laps, and was himself passed by eventual race and championship second place rider David Salom on the very last lap.

Second in the race FIM European 600 Superstock of Portimao and the second in championship was Joshua Day – Revolution Racedays Kawasaki-partner of Carbonin. Congratulation to Joshua and the team for excellent results in 2011.

Carbonin provided attractive design, labels and bodywork for Yamaha R-6, driven by AMA star Melissa Paris.She today completed a successful shakedown test of the MotoDex Performance First Yamaha she will campaign in this weekend’s British Supersport Cup races at the Brands Hatch MCE British Superbike finale.

Paris, who flew in on Friday to have time to get rid of jetlag, spent the day lapping at Donington Park, using two groups on a trackday in order to familiarise herself with a bike that has upwards of 30bhp more than the Superstock-spec R6 she races in Daytona Sportbike.

“Donington is awesome, it’s pretty different to anything we have in the US, really fast and flowing, the elevation changes are a lot of fun. The bike is just phenomenal. It’s a different spec to what we run in Daytona Sportbike and it’s exciting to get to ride something that is so fast and works well right off the bat,” said Paris.

“I have watched as much Brands Hatch footage as I can find on YouTube and I can see it is going to be a little tricky to ride one configuration on Friday and a different one on Saturday but we will roll with it and just do some fast learning.

“We will make the best job of it we can. Everyone has said I will like it because it is a fast circuit and I like that. Some of the tracks in the US are a little tight and twisty but the ones I do best at over there are more of a European style. It will be a good weekend I thanks to everyone involved in getting me here. I am so looking forward to racing in the UK and against some really fast people.”
