The 2022 world champion FCC TSR Honda France team leaves its tests on the Okayama circuit with the number 1 installed on the Honda CBR1000RR-R Fireblade, but also a new swingarm.
Tests on the Japanese circuit led by Yuki Takahashi had the main purpose of validating a new swinging arm which, according to Masakazu Fujii, the team manager of the Japanese-French team, is very strongly inspired by that of the official Honda during the Suzuka 8 Hours.
Until now, FCC TSR Honda France used a “banana” arm really very close to the production version.
The official Honda HRC for the Suzuka 8 Hours never used the stock arm and, after building its own version of a "banana", it lined up this year with an arm closer to the RC213V of MotoGP.
The version developed by Masakazu Fujii used it as a reference and summarized its main points.
The FCC TSR Honda France team will be at the start of the 24 Heures Motos with Josh Hook, Mike Di Meglio et Alan Techer April 15 at Le Mans.
