Aussie Troy Corser is focused on a strong finish to the season in Germany.

Team BMW Motorrad Motorsport’s Troy Corser is remaining focused on scoring good results when the Superbike World Championship continues at the Nürburgring in Germany this weekend.

The 10th race weekend of the season is the first following the summer break and kicks off the final leg of the 2011 FIM Superbike World Championship.

“Last year we were doing quite well in the practice and the qualifying sessions at the Nürburgring,” Corser said. “Unfortunately we then suffered a dip in the Superpole and ended up back on the fourth row. And then I got tangled up in a crash in the first race. But it is a track that I like.

“The Nürburgring has a lot of history, and I always enjoy racing here. It has a very nice layout and is undulating. It also offers a lot of overtaking opportunities. As a result we generally have thrilling and spectacular races. I hope we can now get the bike sorted out to go and get a result.”

After nine rounds of the season, Corser is 15th place in the championship standings on 62 points.
