Ducati Track Day - Silverstone 28th July

Discussion in 'Trackdays & Rider Skills' started by Bazz, Apr 2, 2015.

  1. not in our post lunch session it never!
     
  2. was it copse corner you ran off?
     
  3. I saw at least two run straight on at copse, one fella, who was the length of the pit straight in front of me, green session and the other was in the red group... I was watching from the pit wall.... Hope both guys and their bikes were not too badly beaten up.
     
  4. The "rolling sighting lap" for the first sessions after lunch seemed a bad idea. Peeps bunching-up behind the instructor then lobbing their bikes at the scenery at the first opportunity. Apart from that session I had a great time in the Inters.
     
  5. I ran off at copse twice in my second session, tipped it in and just wasn't happy so stood it up a little and went wide off the track onto the tarmac bit, didn't reach the gravel. You don't realise how wide the track is sometimes so when you do go in you've got quit a bit of space to use up on the exit, its just remembering that and remembering to stay smooth and not tense up lol, think that's were I went wrong.

    The guy I saw was in the silver group at the end of their second session, just went straight on at copse and into gravel, almost saved it but then dropped it :(. I don't think anyone was injured during the day just broken bikes.
     
  6. One of the hire bikes went down first session...
     
  7. I was lined up waiting for your session to end and saw you go across the gravel having a right old fight with your bike, It looked like you could have almost saved it and then you went down :(. Glad you managed to get back out on track though and that you weren't injured that's the main thing :upyeah:
