This hire car has been through the wringer 🤣🤣 one last pick up before giving it back and starting our venture in the van to Portimao, stacking it with tyres to go testing!! Straight after Portimao race weekend we are darting off to complete our next test of the season… so we have to be well prepared.

For the official test in Portimao, our tyres are supplied by the championship - however all of the personal testing that we do, we have to use our own dedicated European training R7 and supply all of our own tyres. We don’t get access to our official WorldWCR race bike outside of the race weekend! So everything for our own personal testing has to be supplied by us. Portimao is the only time we have an official WorldWCR test!

1,500€ for 3 sets of tyres… ouch 🫢 fun fact; tyres in Europe cost us DOUBLE what they cost in Australia. Paying tyre bills over here is quite literally what consumes 80% of our budget 😂
