During a test day at Bira International Circuit, close to Thailand's playground of Pattaya City, Moto2 racer and temporary monk Ratthapark Wilairot was on hand to help his younger brother, Ratthapong, g🌼et back into the racing 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 aggression, Ratthapong rode a factory-prepared Honꦺda CBR 600RR to play himself back in.

While Honda's press officer was keeping tight-lipped, it is believed that he is being prepared for the All-Ja꧒pan Supersport serie𒈔s in 2012.

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

Johnson, whose Honda contract comes into effect on 1 January, is expected to enter the event as a wild-card on a borrowed Suzu🔯ki GSX-R750.
