Silverstone Gp

  1. I struggle with Club, I need to change gear in the middle of the corner, I lose loads of time there.
     
  2. It's the 2 corners just before the Wellington straight mate
     
  3. The Loop?

  4. If in doubt, late apex out :upyeah:

  5. Late apex 1st turn, let the bike go very wide to the right and wait wait wait PIN IT! Don't turn in to early for 2nd apex as it'll ruin the exit and you'll lose loads on the straight which you need on a 600.

  6. Vale, Village and the loop was my nemesis. I just couldn't get them right. I loved the fast corners!

  7. yeah the loop and aintree, im going to ask silverstone if they can change them. :D
     
  8. It's funny how we like/dislike certain corners, Aintree corner is one of my favourites. Anything lefthand I like:) Copse is another I never get right, the exit is huge, but I never use the the whole track

  9. Yep, Both times I've been to Snetterton recently, I've ended up in a spat with a tw*t on an old Carbed ZX6 which going into the hairpin off throttle just poors fuel out the float bowl overflows. I ended up just going to the office having tried to reason with him and told them, it didn't go down well but shows the general attitude of people.

    If I see a ratty or old bike, with a bloke on it in leathers that are from the 80's I just don't get within a mile of them on track, it's just not worth it.

  10. Hard track to learn properly Silverstone.

    Big and wide, easy to get lost !
     

  11. Drives me nuts that does.

    i binned it at Cartagena because of some fuckpig on a triumph that was knowingly dropping oil. I spoke to the organiser (no names mentioned but you can probably guess) and they did nothing about it.

    guess who stacked it a few sessions later :upyeah: wasnt just me either. Two bikes went off on that high speed angled back straight, both bikes if my memory serves me went over the catchment fence and were destroyed
     
  12. First time there I got very confused as to why one minute the pits I was passing were full of people and the next time they were empty.
    Two different sets of pits/garages...o_O

  15. I still do.
     
  16. Yep... I mean, they loose their minds over whether your brake guard is tight enough, but the oil dripping on the floor they couldn't give a toss about.

    Funnily enough, at Snett, the had a proper moan about people going on social and saying negative things, they said "don't go off and moan about us online, tell us so we can do something" My experience is that they don't care.
