Meanwhile Sebastian Gutsch and Klaus Ottlinger did a fantastic job aboard Sebastian's R5SS. Starting from 9th position on the grid, Sebastian passed several riders on the first lap and had the bike up into third before the rider change. Ottlinger fought hard and the duo ended up 5th on the day. A tremendous result for a normally aspirated true 500cc pre-war bike!

Goodwood Revival 2018 - Barry Sheene Trophy Day 2
Troy Corser and Herbert Schwab did the unthinkable. Day two saw Herbert Schwab get away cleanly at the start of the Barry Sheene trophy race He turned in very quick laps and kept the R57 Kompressor BMW within striking distance of the leaders English and McGuinness on the Manx Norton. After the rider change Corser put the hammer down, turning in fastest lap and whittling the lead down from 17 seconds to just over 3 seconds in a matter of only a couple laps. Then just after the chicane, Corser eases past McGuiness, giving him a tap on the back-side. A combination of "here I am" and "bet you didn't see this coming." Corser went on to win day two with a comfortable lead.
