TT fortnight is like doing ten 24 hour race meetings I row and we are putting in the hours to give the DMR the best chance of taking to the podium once again on Saturday.
With the first night practice cancelled due to the weather conditions our first outing on the Mountain Course moved to Monday evening and we went out with a good set up from the off. The first lap of TT2014 was a blistering 112.5mph followed up by a very impressive 114.35mph average for the 37.75 mile track.
Tuesday evening practice we had all new tyres on to scrub in ready for this Saturdays Race One but the session came to an early finish due to a "fifty pence hose clip" which broke on an oil on an oil breather hose and allowed the hose to come and with oil vapour being released Patrick noticed it and allerted Dale to the problem approaching the "Molyneux's Corner"
Please take your time and see all the posts some of which are short Youtube clips that show what this Team Does on the Track that will help you understand what it is that makes our sport so different to others. Also please support the Ads that appear as they also help us ....

With Practice Cancelled on Saturday night this evenings planned practice starts with the Newcomers laps when they are guided around the circuit by experienced riders for their first time on the Mountain Circuit.
At around 8.00pm the Sidecars will get away and fingers crossed the weather will hold for us to get a couple of laps in so that we can retrieve some good Data to extract the best performance from our new engine configuration.
I will be posting how the session has gone but if you would like to get online with www.manxradiott.com you can listen in live to this evenings latest direct from the TT Grandstand.
We just like to send our wishes to Paul Hunt (Big"H") he was involved in an accident on Saturday evening when he fell from his Travelling Marshall machine on the mountain section of the course and is currently receiving treatment in Liverpools Walton Hospital.

Dave Molyneux & Patrick Farrance took advantage of the great weather in Liverpool on Saturday at Aintree Motorcycle Races. With the Isle of Man TT Races just one week away it was the last chance to try our final settings the main event of the season.
With the livery finalised with made to measure race suits and the IMGOLD helmet design the sun was kind to the DMR crew with ecu adjustments being made throughout the day each time improving the outfits performance and giving increased confidence that we have a very strong package going into the TT.Slight alterations throughout the day reaped rewards with a couple of class wins and a personal best time around the track under 59 seconds for the 1.5 mile Aintree track it was a great test for Molyneux Racing.
We now have a busy week ahead of the TT with the last chance to make any small changes to the machine to ensure that we have the machine to do the job .....

Dave Molyneux partnered by Ben Binns took to the Jurby Race track in the fourth round of the Isle of Man Centre Championship with continuing developments in the ZX6R motor we are pushing it to it's limit and managed to come away with two wins and a new lap record on this anti-clockwise circuit to add to the lap record achieved at the last meeting on the Clockwise circuit.
With the New improved Nitron suspension and new tyre configurations to go with the engine developments it's obvious that everything is progressing in the right direction giving us great enthusiasm for the expectations for TT2014.
IMGold confirmed there participation in our 2014 racing season by securing the advertising space on the Arai Crash Helmets and I think you will all agree it's a striking design.
Ryan Kneen showing his more relaxed style in this picture had a testing day with new update to his Woolich Racing Tuned software by Graham Molyneux and his Avon Tyres he had a learning day which was hampered in his first race when he missed his breaking point going into turn one and run out onto the Grass leaving him in last place on the first lap, he then recovered to finish in a creditable 6th position. He then made amends in the second race gaining confidence with the Avon Tyres and improved power delivery he went on to win the race from a hard charging Glenn Harrison.
A close up of the new paint design and stream lining with the number two which will be replaced by the familiar TT number One.
Molyneux Racing would like to thank all of our sponsors the Medics, Marshalls, Organisers and spectators for making these events possible on the Isle of Man.
