Ted Collins Racing

10.4 seconds and 240km/hr top speed in 400 metres on the street, on cold tyres on wets, running over painted white lines, with a curve and a braking area of only 200 metres, and 2 outright wins sums up my weekend 🏆😂 My first go at street speed trials at the Geelong Revival and I managed to take the outright win on Saturday and Sunday, and finished 2nd outright in the cars/bikes combined which is pretty cool (was only 0.06 seconds away from the events combined outright win!).

It’s pretty impressive what we made a stock BMW S1000RR do on the streets with nothing but a tune ✅ Top speed of 240km/hr in a 1/4 mile with a curve is not too shabby - by far the scariest thing I’ve done so far in my racing career but was tops fun 😂

(For reference, this is normally a 5km/hr speed limit stretch of road… I’d hate to know how much that speeding fine would’ve been 😂🫣)

The best way to make taylarelph_ ride faster? Chuck my gear on and spin some laps too 😅 A whole lot of training completed on the R7 at go kart tracks lately in Italy, Spain and France!

Utilising go kart tracks for training is a great tool to build bike fitness in a low-risk environment 👏🏻

A big thank you to rst_moto_aus and ogkkabuto / Moto National Accessories who continue to support me in all of my career ventures ✊🏻

All stocked up with RST gear and I’m ready to hit some of these international circuits… I can’t go letting have all the fun this year in Europe… 🤪✊🏻

It was so great to visit the factory in England and meet everyone behind the scenes who have helped me throughout the years! With limited flight weight I wasn’t able to bring any of my gear over to Europe, so a massive thank you to & who kitted me up with leathers with an inbuilt in&motion airbag, boots and gloves, I’m all ready to hit the track and help Tayla with some testing & training ✊🏻

I haven’t properly been on the bike since February after recovering from concussion, so it’s safe to say I’m pretty eager to get back to it… 🔥

Round 2 of the Women’s World Championship and our best one yet at Donington Park, with finishing P6 in Race 2 and jumping herself up to P9 in the World Championship.

Have truly been enjoying my role within the TAYCO Motorsports team as crew chief & mechanic and the challenges it brings finding ways to extract the most out of both the bike, data analysis & Tayla’s performance.

We put in some serious work over the past month and made massive ground in multiple areas since Misano and I think that really showed in the results this weekend. We halved our race time to the leaders from a 48 second gap at Misano down to just a 24 second gap this weekend. The level of the Spanish girls is incredibly fast, but we are putting in the work to be up there with them. It won’t be long ✊🏻✊🏻

Next round is Portimão on the 9th - 11th August 🇵🇹
