During a test day at Bira International Circuit, close to Thailand's playground of Pattaya City, Mot👍o2 racer and temporary monk Ratthapark Wilairot was on hand to help his younger brother, Ratthapong, get back into the r⛎acing groove after a spell studying law at university.

Said by many in Thai racing to🦩 mix the Wilairot racing dynasty's natural speed with an extra dose of aggr🃏ession, Ratthapong rode a factory-prepared Honda CBR 600RR to play himself back in.

While Honda's preꦯss officer was keeping tight-lipped, it is believed that he is being prepared for the All-Japan Supersꦚport series in 2012.

Road racer Gary Johnson, who will ride for Honda UK in 2012, was als♌o at the test (pictured), helping a friend to set up a CBR 1000RR for the𒁃 last races of the season over the weekend of 24-25 December.

Johnson, whose Hon𝓰da contract comes into effect on 1 January, is ex🌊pected to enter the event as a wild-card on a borrowed Suzuki GSX-R750.
