Foggy Petronas Racing. Against all odds

Petronas and the Beautiful FP1 Super bike
The Start of the project, right through to a finished race ready Super bike.

[@user-ey3qk4vo7r]

Still a gorgeous looking and sounding bike Doesn’t even look dated by todays standards

[@annoyin_cnt291]

i used to love watching Foggy racing Worra Champ!!!

[@Icem4n84]

To this day it is such a beautiful looking bike!

[@antonfloor344]

Back when the WSB has Vtwins, the sound of thunder.

[@johngoodwin2384]

I had a long career in Motorsports. I opened an email one morning that started out “ I have a Foggy Petronas project and need parts” I could not help but smile. I was a big fan of that project, no help with parts. Shame, we had made the originals. Made my day to see a few pics he had.

[@josiewallace7968]

Beautiful looking bike, beautiful sounding bike, but it just couldn't do it on the track sadly.

[@phantommaggotxxx]

motorcycle racing needs to be popular again....

[@almelling6699]

Foggy when you came to our factory with BBC news i told you then that the triple was not good enough. Why oh why didnt you take notice ,the bike is great. But the engine !!!! Sorry didnt reply earlier, you know why. Best wishes.

Awesome video 👍🏾💯🏍🇬🇧💯🏍🇬🇧

[@mickangel3945]

Should have got Alan Millyard to build the engines.

What a freebie wow look forward to progress vlogs!

[@stephenbarrosse831]

Great post man thank you so much.

[@TheJagot]

i love it. thank you sir.

[@justonsullivan3807]

I'm glad that they put rider safety 1st, rider safety is alway'z #1, everything else is #2. What a great show thx guys for bringing us along for this ride. 🙏🇺🇲🗽🇬🇧🙏

i have been looking for this .... thanks

Fantastic film, really enjoyed following the progress made

[@raynic1173]

Is there a part 2 showing the 2003 season?

[@adrianflux7324]

Thank you sir!

[@minsetsenzablocchi]

Since 1994 to 2012 was a great Superbike.

[@waynester71]

Remember watching this back in the day.. It was a shame how the project failed. The bike looked and sounded great, but the engine design, power and then the change in 2003 allowing 1000cc 4 cylinders basically sunk the potential of the bike. It’s great to see the bikes they built for homologation finally seeing the light of day.. Edit. Just remembering the first time I saw the FP1 bikes out on track.. they did a demo at Brands Hatch, Foggy was riding one.. I distinctly remember the noise it made and the flames 🔥😄

[@MrAckers75]

Yeah rules didn’t help but Ducati with one cylinder less still did well

[@zbellion__noillebz6021]

awesome docudrama

[@SchmozzleGTO]

Richard Jeffrey- thanks for the videos, looking forward to 04 BSB. Love that SBK era... any idea where might get full season/highlights of early naughties WSBK or BSB? I made it to WSBK Laguna Seca in 02/03 and would love to watch those in particular but all of it really... Bayliss, Hodgson, Edwards, Chili etc etc. Not to mention the bikes... what a great era... thanks again.

Nice guy foggy and a superbike legend but as a team boss he was lacking

For a fun drinking game, try sinking a shot any time James Haydon says... "you know"

James Haydon?

You'd be pissed in 5 minutes, you know. lol

[@robertcranney2022]

What I was getting at is, foggy is doing it right from the start and all the way through

[@Aexomer]

@@robertcranney2022 Yep. Corser drops a few in there as well. They can't seem to help it. Another thing I hear rather a lot is the "yeah no, blah blah blah..". Listen to Haydon when he's on Eurosport. And, for that matter, Shane Byrne. They typically get a few in just about every sentence. :)

[@raynic1173]

What's up with Foggy's left eye, it often seems dilated?

[@boxingstoner6612]

He smokes alot of weed

[@raynic1173]

1:35:55, "He's a bobbin lubricator and he's OK. He sleeps all night and he works all day......

[@samuelgarrod8327]

I saw him in a restaurant once. He was a rude arrogant prick. I was saddened but life is like that. Never meet your heroes.

[@presstodelete1165]

Perhaps its just selective filming/editing but all the focus seems to be cosmetics first, structure will work itself out somehow.

[@christopherstephenson254]

No wonder he went to the jungle... dolls head Missus.

[@siruga]

Am i the only one that thinks that the DAYTONA 675 looks veeeery similar to the FP1!?!?!?!

[@richardjeffray1812]

You mean the Triumph Sprint ST.

[@onthethrottle9230]

I agree with this statement

[@siruga]

@@richardjeffray1812 no no.. the daytona... in race trim they have almost exactly the same face, tank is really similar , under tail exhaust...

I did have the idea of getting an fp 1 and putting a triumph 3 cylinder engine with a reverse head 😂

using an engines full performance becomes limited by aerodynamics and down force, ultimately form must follow function.

[@johndeere1951a]

All this ended because of rule change making all that work/money go down the toilet. The documentary was quite sad. Delays, mmechanical ans electrinic failure, people failures. Sad story ❌

All that stress for fk all, who the fk wants that, LOL, not me. Time moves on and once you're out its hard to catch up. Notice they didn't say why the engine smoked....I bet a simple tin baffle over the breather exit hole cured it, so many fk ups., too much pomp and ceremony.

[@sdolman79]

Can't believe how delusional all these people were, I know you have to believe its going to all work out but come on in the time scale they had set, micky mouse in comparison with ducati and Honda who they expected to beat, Foggy would have done better with privateer ducati bikes. FP1s looked nice though.

Against all odds? it looks like they should have gone racing instead of worrying about how the machine shop looked inside, about their catered meals, about their matching shirts. What a bunch of spoiled money wasting pansies.
