    With just four laps of riding, my shoulders started to ache, my neck felt sore and my brain felt numb. That, however, didn’t stop me from hopping on for another go on the Moto3 machine. I found some confidence in the machine and its immense abilities. I had a better feel for the brakes, so I braked later down the straights. To exploit the light handling, I tried to take more aggressive lines, which resulted in a more natural flow through corners.

    This time there was a small smile playing inside the helmet. I knew I was nowhere near getting to terms with the Mahindra Moto3 machine and all of its intricacies, but progress was being made. As I handed the bike back to the Mahindra Racing crew in the pitlane, I yearned for more. However, racing prototypes have other things to do than to just help people upgrade their riding skills. Right now they must be in Switzerland preparing for the next race and that elusive podium position.
