Greens, Reds and Physics

Taken at Oulton Park during the British Superbike Championship this year. It was a mostly wet event which is hardly a surprise with it being held in the British summer.

Motorsport fans will note the wet tyres on Scott Smart's Hawk Kawasaki ZX-10R, these tyres are said to give as much grip in the wet as normal road tyres give us in the dry. Which is a lot.

For the racers, it's more about being smooth and avoiding the painted kerbs and lines on track.

Scott is clearly doing his best to dry out the track for his next lap.
