We asked Anthony Gobert, if he could take us for a quick lap of the 3.56-mile Daytona infield course, and, of course, he agreed. If you've ever wanted to win a Rolex, here's one way to do it. Pay attention.

"You're in top (gear) going past start-finish, then you go back to first gear for Turn One. You've gotta make sure you go really hard and deep on the brakes. It's pretty easy to get on the brakes too early and wash off too much speed going in there. It's pretty surprising how fast you can go in there.

"When you come out of One, you gotta be really easy on the throttle 'cause it wants to spin up a lot. Shift it to second, then third as you're going through the kink, or the little 'chicane.' Then you drive down to the hairpin, back two (gears) - back to first. On the Yamaha, the rear wants to come out a lot - you slide coming in there. So you gotta try and keep it down low to the inside and turn it really tight. You sort of got to 'wait for it' a bit - it's real easy to get on the power pretty early - so you got to wait for it, sort of get it turned a bit more and really drive it to get it up on the (center of the) tire.

You've got to be careful when you shift into second, because you're out pretty wide and you're coming back, and it's pretty easy to high side.

"Then you click third down that straightaway and tip it into and hold third through the left kink - there's a big bump there. When you hit that bump the rear always comes out. You just stay on the throttle and slide it all the way out to the white line. Stand it up, drive it a little bit down to the next horseshoe.

"Back two gears, to first gear again. On the Yamaha - it needs a little more slipper clutch, I think - when you go back gears really quick, the rear comes out and you slide it into the corner. Then you've got to get it turned - same thing - you've got to wait for it, then get on the power hard. There's a seam about mid track, so it hits the seam and gets unstable, and you've got to be careful about highsiding through there.

"It's hard to keep the front wheel on the ground in the next bit down to the next bit- the left-hander before the banking. You come out of that right-hander, you go up a gear, then quickly back a gear, into that left-hander (Turn Six).

"You've got to be real careful going onto the banking, because you've sort of got to turn, and it's on quite an angle and there's not much grip there anyway, so a soon as you touch the throttle it's...(Gobert provides sound effects to describe how the tire wants to alternately slip and grip)...the whole way.

Then you shift it to second, stand it up, and drive it up onto the banking, keep going up the gears all the way around. Stay up really high and then get to a point where you sort of drop down the banking and get the run down. On the exit there's a point where it's better to get the run down and get the 'launch' off the ramp as well. You get into top gear sometimes, and sometimes you hold fifth.

"Back to second gear for the Chicane. It's kind if hard because you've got to be careful that you don't go back one too many gears. If you go back one too many gears, the back really comes around and you've got to miss the Chicane, so you've got to be always thinking going into there. Too, there's a big bump on the entry, so you've got to be careful - you've gotta be real hard on the brakes, and then sort of let it off to go through the bump. Then quickly turn it, drive through the next part - if you're not really good through there - right, then right, then left up onto the baking - you lose your whole lap time there. You've got to be real precise in there and make sure you don't get in too hot to the (second) right, but if you get in there hot, you go too wide and you mess your run up onto the banking. You've got to make sure you get that right.

"Once you get up there, just keep banging it to sixth, and you come around and hit the checkered.

(On how bumpy the track is)
It's really, really bumpy. When you come down (the banking off of Turn Four) it slides the whole way. I had about eighteen laps on a tire today, and when I was out there mucking around with Scotty (Russell), when I'd get in his draft, the bike was just sliding the whole way around the banking. It's a bit of an experience- you kind of wonder: 'What's too much?'"
