Nicky, look forwards to next year! Hope things come together and I hope to get along to catch up for a cuppa. Let us know your sponsorship plans soon. M
I'm looking for European trackdays in February or March to kick-off testing in 2015. Where would you guys recommend?
Well I've only been to Almeria before and going again with FE in February. It's quite a good mixture of a track - some fast, some technical. It's used quite a bit by many Brit racers for testing - it's really only a test track. Heard tell that Tito Rabat is a frequent visitor. FE have 3 day and a 4 day events scheduled for the end of Feb - I'm doing the 4 day.
Just running through my PB lap times from this season, which I though some of you might be interested in... Brands Indy: 50.2 (SB) Donington GP: 1:39.7 (PB) Knockhill: 53.4 (PB) Brands GP: 1:33.9 (PB) Oulton: 1:45.4 (PB) Cadwell: 1:35.1 (PB) Assen: 1:48.5 (PB) Silverstone: 2:19.1 (SB) What times have you guys got down to?
Brands Indy: 50.1 Donington GP: 1:39.6 Knockhill: 53.3 Brands GP: 1:33.8 Oulton: 1:45.3 Cadwell: 1:35 Assen: 1:48.4 Silverstone: 2:19
Brands indy 55 sec...115kg rider on a 170 kg bike and 63 hp...10% more with twice the weight and half the power. I'll take that lol
Me and a couple freind doing Almeria 21-24 feb with focused, it's good to get upto pace before season starts (buy u a beer if that counts as sponsorship)
Hottrax cartagena feb is good value and suits the smaller capacity bikes I'm going bristol/murcia £90 plus 399 for the td (and mike dickenson race clinic for £120 booked)
Carta's a good circuit also! Not been for a couple year as dates not suited! Andrew Pitts doing training with focused
Might try and do back to back weekends if there are dates and circuits which coincide. Once you're there, it makes sense!

I need some tips for keeping me sharp over the winter months. Lack of time on the bike is always an issue for me. What do you chaps think to pit bikes or moto-x?
Tried Moto X , bashed my head and saw c-beams glitter in the dark near Tannhäuser Gate. I think I may try X-box instead...
Ride my multistrada. Making progress on wet, cold, leaf strewn roads helps Although most racer mates seem to hit the enduro and off-road. But nothing round here for that
Invest in a super moto and get in touch with ur nearest outdoor go cart track about sponsorship, run round there track for free over the winter !!
This shows the true power of crowd funding! Lets make it happen for NWR in 2015! BBC Sport - Caterham to race in Abu Dhabi finale after fundraising success
