McDougall fourth at Oulton Park after opening Practice sessions
03-05-2008
After two 40-minute Free Practice sessions at Oulton Park today, Beowulf rider Pat McDougall has set the fourth fastest time ahead of Monday's second-round race in the British Supersport Cup with a lap of one minute 42.866 seconds. UK Team Manager David McDougall described it as a "fair start" to the weekends proceedings.
Extensive changes were made to the suspension and gearing of the Beowulf Yamaha after this morning's session which saw McDougall lap the 2.7-mile Cheshire circuit with a time of one minute 44.327 seconds. The changes obviously did the trick, as the Guildford-based rider was able to go almost 1.6 seconds quicker this afternoon.
Currently, Pat is one second adrift of the top-placed Cup rider Craig Fitzpatrick (Yamaha) and only two-tenths of a second behind the next Cup rider Andy Weymouth (Yamaha). In terms of the main Supersport championship, Pat sits in 24th position with the Suzuki-mounted Ian Lowry heading the field with a time of one minute 40.396 seconds.
Further changes are planned for the front suspension of the Beowulf Yamaha this evening. Pat describes himself as "reasonably happy" with his progress so far and believes tomorrow's two Qualifying sessions will bring further reductions in his times.

The great race at the new Portimao circuit brings an end to our season in World Superbike Superstock 600, with riders Gino Rea and Dan Linfoot.
The season has been a success with Gino third and Dan fifth in the championship standings following three victories and five additional podiums in total. The results have also acted as a stepping stone to the riders for next season, with both securing high profile, career progressing rides for 2009.
Thank you for all of the emails, calls, texts and visits throughout the year. It has been much appreciated.
