Just found this, that made me laugh. Spot the man who had a flat battery before his trackday, shift indicator at 6500rpm and apparently 5 past midnight according to his onboard clock :)

I enjoyed the video. The falco pilot is quick but the clown in the white leathers is a lunatic. No tracksense or racing line technique. He looks dangerous and I'd be keeping out of his way.

The Falco guy's downshift technique left a bit to be desired. And he needed to keep the revs up a bit more in the esses section. Good job the Falco pulls well from low down...

And the guy in the white leathers is a loose cannon - no doubt about it.

A bit monotonous but then watching someone else circulating a track is always going to be.
I see that it's one of these Falcos with a semi-ape-hanger conversion too.

One of the You-Tube links gave this review of the Falco:

Not bad (except the statement about the balancer shafts evening out the firing pulses :smt017 WTF)

Also some Fut Fut reviews
