They realised it would rain.

Go get some laps in.
Luckily not much damage to him or the bike but he's calling it a day. Donny is an ice rink in the wet, no way I'd be out there without wets.

Wets
+1.
Even in drying conditions, with Intermediates fitted, Donington Park is still pretty sketchy.

Its bone dry now but I did nearly tuck the front at the Melbourne loop.

Was it a trick honda in Redbull trim?
Last 3 sessions were a washout, just fitted some scrubbed V02's as my R11's were dead. Got out, did 3 laps and by the end of the 4th was a downpour...funtimes on slicks.
Managed a 1:51 on my bike, Neevesey wasn't about to allow me out on his 2019 presser.
Had a great chat about it, showed me through the dash etc.

The R11's were F'd already from 3 days of Snett. Pic was just to show how much tread had gone.
Had a long convo with HMT man, he says the best tyre for track road is the Dunlop TT.
But suggested that I should run the 213GP Pro. Will certainly consider it. Once have chewed up my current pile.

Did he explain why? I used d212 and see no advantages over v02. V02 is excellent tires. Cheaper too.
It was in comparison to the R11 & 212Racer (treaded).
I'd always wondered about the 213 Pro, as I wasn't sure I could ride them had enough to keep heat in them. He was adamant I could.
In his opinion the 212Racer is largely irrelevant due to the new TT tyre having such a wide operating window. Still it is fantastic.
The V02's have never driven out of the corner as well as I had expected. They certainly are good value for money all said and done, front tyre is very good...all these tyres are better than me!

Also had these 2 bad boys fitted.
2D GPS laptrigger worked a charm. Set the laptrig to external. Dash automatically starts the clocks and puts up a green light when you're doing well.
HP Datalogger, I sold my old one to get the AIM. But in hindsight forking out only for the Laptrigger was a better idea.
Nothing wrong with the AIM but it can't be hooked upto the extension box and I may aquire one in future.
Duck tape due to rain.
