Rd #7 Phakisa GP Raceway - SA Interfile Superbike & Supersport Championship

#38 - Isaacs

It’s amazing how we rely on computers in the modern age, we get complacent that they will always perform.... not true and a hard lesson learned. Practice saw all the PS Honda’s running around not knowing why they were way off the pace, to cut a long story short we had a laptop failure, this was the PC that fuelled the bikes, the memory failed to allow the system to work at the normal speed. Friday evening saw the team congregating to try find out why they were so far off the pace. A common denominator emerged ‘all were down on power’ eventually the problem was resolved by Alain from Dynojet SA picked up a problem that the PC’s had multiple maps loaded on top of each other.

The PS Honda Racing Team claim a third & fourth at Round 7 of the SA Superbike Championship. In race one, it was the Honda PS CBR1000RR of Isaacs that got off the line first, the CBR showed great pace as Isaacs set the overall fastest lap in both heats. The racing gave enthusiasts just what they were after with some fantastic dicing taking place in the entire field, the race came down to the final turn Geldenhuis slid up the inside of Isaacs to record his maiden win by 100th of a second. 2.5 seconds back was the reigning champion Morias who had no answer to the two factory backed Honda’s. It was less than ideal start for Moodley who had to do some crafty manoeuvring to come up through the field from seventh on lap one to finish in a fine fourth place. The whole PS Honda team want to congratulate Greg Geldenhuis for his maiden heat win in the SA Superbike Category, it was great to see another Honda taking up the challenge.
