Donington Ducati Day 17th May, Who Is Going ?

Discussion in 'Trackdays & Rider Skills' started by Android853sp, Feb 9, 2022.

  1. i was at donny yesturday and i didnt see one person get checked for a back protector, they were more interested in making sure your baffles were in
     
  2. I was at donington on Sunday and was checked for my back protector on every session, they only checked by feeling the back of the leathers, but people without had been sent back to the garages…

  3. Really . I got sent back to my garage for no baffle in my exhaust
     
  4. This is what it says on the MSVT so makes sense "When lining up for your sighting laps the pitlane marshals will do their visual checks (for wristbands etc) and give you a friendly pat on the back which may be accompanied with a prod or two to see if you are ticklish. The back protector should be full length to cover at least the majority of your spine"

    Think mine covers the majority, as much as it can just being in the jacket.
     
  5. Black flagged in pit lane. Awesome effort. :cool:

    I saw the occasional check on back protectors on first and second sessions.
    At Bedford two weeks ago they physically checked every rider, every session.

    Could use the 1199 but May be trackdayed out by then !
     
  9. Hi just a quick post to say I cancelled my place at the Donnington Ducati day for personal reasons so there should be a place available if someone is still looking. Cheers
     
  10. The website says it’s sold out. Several on the waiting list no doubt.

  18. Im sure others would chime in but without warmers and knowing what tyres - i would say 31f/29r as a starting point as a lot of variables here.

    There likely will be a tyre guy on the day that can advise too.
