No, still same down the left side approach and tip in late..... Lots of new tarmac link roads between parallel sections though and new tarmac outside between 15 & 16.
Yes that's me now but wasn't always the case. I met a guy in Jerez who hammered us all in the fast group. He told me before we went out that he was on his way back down the ladder, which he was. He was an ex British Championship rider doing 1.55s on his Fireblade road bike. He was very humble though and we became very good friends and did a few euro events together. Just a thought!
I’m shit these days and can’t ride a 1000 either It’s all seat time, of which I’ve had very little of since 2019. Good quality seat time anyway. I’m also getting ‘older’ which has changed my outlook and the coaching gig knackered my riding as I was sat often doing 2min laps of Donington all day. It genuinely did knacker my riding. I hung my leathers up after estoril after 186mph brake failure (bit dramatic but the lever was on the bar and the thing wasn’t stopping) poo came out. But I keep getting sucked back in to it. If I ride next year, I’ll get some proper seat time on the thousand and get it and me working, otherwise I’m definitely walking away. Everytime I get on a bike I’m mentally preparing for qualifying, but I’m reaching in to the ever Diminishing bag of talent and coming up shorter than I used to. Frustrating. But really shouldn’t be too surprising considering. I need to either commit again, or sack it off and do something else. Being half cocked is not working. Don’t get me wrong, a handful of laps in a day the old relative magic can still be seen on the horizon, I can still do it. But I’m rustier than the Titanic and not afraid to admit it. I’ve always been fragile in terms of set up. Extremely sensitive to it. Like a shit but sexier man size Lorenzo.
I'm a lot older than you and carrying a lot of old injuries but I still enjoy riding on track so I will carry on while I do. I have learned to ride well within myself and still enjoy it so I will carry on. I don't feel I have anything to prove and have a few plastic trophies to remind me how hard I used to push.
