The YART Yamaha Official EWC Team made it no secret that they are eager to take the 2016 FIM Endurance World Championship by storm with the new endurance spec YZF-R1.

Broc Parkes, Max Neukirchner and Ivan Silva couldn’t wait any longer and took their new race machine out for a spin in Jerez de la Frontera at an empty Circuito de velocidad last month.

After revving the engine of the 2016 YZF-R1, the three riders and Crew Chief Ludovic Reignier share how they’re planning to tackle the endurance season at full speed.
