There has been a posting in recent weeks about their novice days alternating car and bike sessions on the same day. £109 in April is about usual but that price will rise as the weather gets better. I'm still quite certain the cost of the Ducati day is in part due to the small numbers. Bradders is right in that there are usually more riders in each group and people like Focussed and No Limits tend to run 4 groups so twice as many riders. I am sure some of the extra is the perception that it is a premium day. Andy
Personally I'd rather may £30 more and have less bikes on track at Brands, the Indy circuit is so small and you can get some doing more than 1'10 and others below 1 min in the same inters group, 20 min session gets very bunched up
Last time we went to Brands for the BSB, in the KTM 370 support race the 13 year olds were consistently lapping at about 56 seconds - little bastards ! Andy
Anyone reckon the Ducati WSBK rider will beat Donny for the DUK Track Day seeing as the Donny Gp is the over that bank holiday weekend?
Only advanced places left for Donnington. Anyone booked novice or inter who cant make date. Please pm me.
I've just emailed Wendy about getting a slot at the silverstone day I've asked for Novice/inters as don't fancy going round the track with a bunch of racers and track bikes, and I'll be on my road 899 too, and riding there and back as it's only 90mins ride for me
Donny booked as well. Really looking forward to it. Those of you riding road bikes on the track - will you opt for track insurance or take your chances? I'm unsure as to what to do.
Couple of us looking to go over from IE to Silverstone, few places available. My issue is work, weekdays are next to impossible sometimes But gonna make the effort, it would be a hoot !!
What do you reckon to my rear tyre? Had new tyres fitted before the Silverstone track day last year and developed a bit of a cold tear on the rear, maybe due to no tyre warmers or possibly pressures. The tear ran all the way around the tyre but seems to have scrubbed away mostly now, do you guys think the tyre will be alright for another track day or should i get a newun?
Well i've got some tyre warmers now so if the tear was down to hot and cold cycles i might be alright if i keep em toasty.
Pressures and suspension could be at fault. Think softer rear spring or less compression? Warmers will help and if you haven't used before remember to set HOT and they need to be on for more than 45 min
