As the racing season draws nearer, we supply the True Heroes Racing team with two new Ducati Panigale V2 motorcycles. These motorcycles are in need of some specific modifications in order to make them race-ready for the teams' competition specification (National Superstock, Junior Superstock, Ducati TriOptions & Junior Supersport).
The journey begins with the latest Ducati Panigale being ordered and delivered at the Laguna Performance Centre.
Check out the fresh ride below!

Now that we have received the bikes at the Laguna Performance Centre, they will need to undergo some mechanical and cosmetic changes in order to be compliant with racing regulations - and to make sure they feature the team's logo of course!
Each race has unique tyres, to help maximise performance in handling and maintain speed throughout the corners. Each of the tyres has a specific purpose and compound, tailored for each race.
Silencers/end cans are permitted to be changed, but replacements must be manufactured by Akrapovic. The permitted Akrapovic silencers are equipped with a dedicated engine map to meet specific racing requirements and ensure maximum performance.
The bike will visually look almost completely different as it takes on its racing form. Decals and sponsorship logos will be added all over the bike, in addition to a True Heroes Racing team logo and their iconic orange colour & camo flowing throughout.
Tyres play a huge factor in the performance and speed that race teams take to get around the track. Without the appropriate compound and style, you could be adding minutes to your lap times.
The official tyre supplier to the series will be Pirelli.
Exhaust cans or silencers can also add bundles of performance to your motorcycle. Not only are these specific silencers lighter in weight, but they also provide better airflow and can therefore increase HP and Torque by up to 10%.
The official exhaust silencers will be via Akrapovic.

Laguna Motorcycles Limited (which include multiple trading names: Laguna Motorcycles, Laguna Performance Centre, Laguna Triumph, Maidstone Honda, Maidstone Harley-Davidson® and Kent Motorcycles) is an Appointed Representative of Automotive Compliance Ltd who is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA No. 497010). Automotive Compliance Ltd’s permissions as a Principal Firm allows Laguna Motorcycles Limited (which include multiple trading names: Laguna Motorcycles, Laguna Performance Centre, Laguna Triumph, Maidstone Honda, Maidstone Harley-Davidson® and Kent Motorcycles) to act as a credit broker, not a lender, for the introduction to a limited number of lenders, and to act as an agent on behalf of the insurer for insurance distribution activities only.
We are a credit broker and not a lender. We can introduce you to a carefully selected panel of lenders, which includes manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent. We act on behalf of the lender for this introduction and not as your agent. We are not impartial, and we are not an independent financial advisor.
Our approach is to introduce you first to the manufacturer lender linked directly to the particular franchise you are purchasing your vehicle from, who are usually able to offer the best available package for you, taking into account both interest rates and other contributions. If they are unable to make you an offer of finance, we then seek to introduce you to whichever of the other lenders on our panel is able to make the next most suitable offer of finance for you. Our aim is to secure a suitable finance agreement for you that enables you to achieve your financial objectives. If you purchase a vehicle, in the majority of cases, we will receive a commission from your lender for introducing you to them which is either a fixed fee, or a fixed percentage of the amount that you borrow. This may be linked to the vehicle model you purchase.
Different lenders pay different commissions for such introductions, and manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent may also provide preferential rates to us for the funding of our vehicle stock and also provide financial support for our training and marketing. But any such amounts they and other lenders pay us will not affect the amounts you pay under your finance agreement; however, you will be contributing towards the commission paid to us with the interest collected on your repayments. Before we propose you to a potential lender, we will inform you of the likely amount of commission we will receive and seek your consent to receive this commission. The exact amount of commission that we will receive will be confirmed prior to you signing your finance agreement.
All finance applications are subject to status, terms and conditions apply, UK residents only, 18s or over. Guarantees may be required. Please see our complaints page for our complaints policiy and regulatory complaints.
