P1racenews AI automatic summary:
Tarran Mackenzie completed his second WorldSBK test at Jerez on the ‘old’ Honda, which he hopes to change going forward.
During the recent Superbike test, Mackenzie used last season’s CBR1000RR-R bike instead of the new 2024 machine, similar to his factory Honda teammates. Adam Norrodin also participated in his first Superbike test after missing the previous outing. Despite a few tests and wildcard appearances, Mackenzie feels he still needs more time to become familiar with WorldSBK-spec machinery. His next testing opportunity will be in January at the Portimao test where he hopes to see improvement with the new bike. Although his lap time improved during the last test, he acknowledges that there is still a lot to learn and understand.
