Ilmor resumes MotoGP bike tests
19th October 2007
The Brixworth, UK based Ilmor MotoGP team has resumed testing of its X3 racing machine as team owner Mario Illien continues his efforts to revive the project for 2008 .
Ilmor pulled out of the 2007 MotoGP world championship after the opening round in Qatar in March due to a lack of sponsorship. Test bench development of the Ilmor V4 engine has continued since the withdrawal and the X3 was tested again at the Estoril track in Portugal last week.
