YouTuber,, Luca Salvadori, rides an off-the-shelf Ducati Panigale V4 S motorcycle to victory after setting a new lap record during the Open Class MotoEstate Trophy Race in Cremona, Italy.

Salvadori took pole position in qualifying, after establishing a new track record with a time of 1:31.945. Later went on to win the prestigious ‘Open Class’ event against other superbike-spec machines.

Aside from a Ducati racing exhaust system, racing brake pads, and Pirelli slick tyres, the bike remained entirely stock. The stock bike delivers 214bhp @ 13,000 rpm with 124Nm of torque @ 10,000 rpm. With the racing exhaust power improved by 6 percent to 226 bhp & 131 Nm.

Motoestate championship holds six races, mainly scheduled on tracks in central and northern Italy. Over the years, as the two-wheel market grew, so did the race categories, like the before mentioned ‘Open Class’ won by Salvadori.

Thanks to significant prize funds, Motoestate races remain attractive to more and more riders of all ages and abilities.
