  11. Still one ticket for Sunday 25th going cheap from me! Main grandstand opposite pits. I’m driving down Saturday and staying overnight in Northampton Travelodge or whatever if that helps.

  13. Which group?
     
  14. White, I think its time to move up! That was my only issue yesterday, wide spectrum of riders in the group, some so slow it was dangerous at times. It wouldn't be bad if I knew which line they were going to take, very unpredictable at times, my weak link is getting through traffic as I'm too cautious. They have just as much right to be there as anyone else though. Were you in Red Nelson?
     
  15. Yup in red.
    Seemed to be a lot of issues with the new surface eating tyres!

  16. Really? There was Pani in my garage, quick rider in the blue group, commenting about how quick he got through a set of tyres, shredded
     
  17. My rear was buggered which lead to a bloody scary slide!

  18. Talking to one of the instructors, he said the camber which has been introduced to aid draining will contribute slightly to faster corner speeds
     
  19. Didn’t someone post the other day about tyre wear at Silverstone? May be time to play with pressure and suspension
     
  20. It really isn't that simple I fear.
    The tyre guy was overwhelmed at lunchtime.
    There were a lot of riders there with properly shagged tyres that were new on in the morning and lethal by lunchtime.
