Ai Ogura is winning Austria or Silverstone and a track in Asia.

A quick search on google says that Austria leads the longest race distance on the calendar at 121.74km and Silverstone coming in at 118km.

Le Mans is 113km and Ai Ogura was the fastest guy in the last 5 laps and was gaining quickly on MB72 and JM89 with drive grip to spare. 8 more kilometers and Ogura would have surely passed even Martin.

Of course there are all sorts of factors like track layout and temperature and who favors the certain track more, but in a mathematical and logical sense, a longer race distance favors Ogura. Sorry for the clickbaity title.

I say a track in Asia because during the summer months, tire preservation is critical and Ogura does well with Asian tracks.

My trackday weapon will be this SX-F 450 converted to a supermoto. I'm planning to redo the top end and get track oriented (not slicks) rubber.

There's a mandatory introduction class so any questions I do have will probably be answered there.

My only question I have to pose here is:
If there are any of you here running a supermoto at NJMP, do you have your sprockets setup for higher top speed or are you trying to preserve that low-end pull? Any recommendations to what I should bring for my first trackday?
