Scott Redding gives an onboard commentary lap of Silverstone

Last month we let Octo Pramac Ducati rider and Bennetts-sponsored MotoGP star Scott Redding loose on our Ducati 1299 Panigale for a couple of onboard commentary laps of the Silverstone Grand Prix circuit:

Ride two laps around Silverstone's 3.66-mile grand prix circuit with Octo Pramac Ducati MotoGP star, Scott Redding, on a completely standard Ducati 1299 Panigale.

Scott Redding approaches the British MotoGP round this weekend lying in 12^th position in the World Championship having being robbed of a podium last time out at Brno after his soft wet tyres destroyed themselves on the drying track. A rostrum result would have cemented his place in the top 10 after three consecutive top eight finishes.

The Gloucestershire-man’s home Grand Prix has been a happy hunting ground since he became the youngest ever Grand Prix winner, at 15 years and 170 days, at Donington Park in 2008. Since then Redding has never finished outside of the top 10.

REDDING’S BRITISH GP RESULTS:

YEAR	CLASS	LOCATION	RACE RESULT
2008	125cc	Donington Park	1^st
2009	125cc	Donington Park	3^rd
2010	Moto2	Silverstone	4^th
2011	Moto2	Silverstone	5^th
2012	Moto2	Silverstone	3^rd
2013	Moto2	Silverstone	1^st
2014	MotoGP	Silverstone	10^th
2015	MotoGP	Silverstone	6^th
