My 2022 Ducati Panigale V4S is Finally Ready for the Track

I dropped one tooth on the countershaft sprocket. Its beautiful. At COTA its perfect, my fastest lap was a 2'24.75. On the back straight I still chicken out and jump on the brakes before it hits the rev limiter. I think that COTA definitely has one of the longest straights, so I believe that gearing is money.

My experience is that stock gearing is too short for COTA. I was on the rev limiter even before the scaffolding coming into T12. Speedometer went to three dashes a second or so before that. Went down 1 or 2 teeth in the rear and was no longer in the limiter.
 
I get an ICE warning when I first start MY21 V2 with the headlight removed. I believe it also disconnects the air temperature sensor, hence the ICE warning. It does not affect how the bike runs. I have race plastics, so my headlight is swapped out with larger intakes (much larger!). I am not sure if there are any blanks for the headlight area. The headlight assembly is heavy too!

Right! I am on a 22' I know it has a different gears including a taller 6th, thats probably how I was able to drop a tooth and hit that sweet spot. What kind of lap times are you doing at COTA?

Most recently at the BMW event in October I did a 2:24.75 on my bike. Its a 22' base that I have been modding over the season. Bolt ons, exhaust and tune.
This is my fist jump up from a V2. WOW, its literally a jump to light speed when you pull the pin on a V4! lol. The GPS timer shows that I barely get over 180mph, but when I do glance down at the dash, I am over that, so who knows.
I recently had to move away for work but the guys at Ducati Austin keep my bike there as long as I come back to do track days with them. Sadly, now we have to wait till spring. ~:/
